Exactly. So throw. I want to see some competitive fire. Especially put of my QB. Especially when he has a very legit fallback plan with baseball.

Yeah but your argument has the counter basically in it. If there is no benefit, why participate? I just disagree that someone participating or not participating makes them a bitch. It is voluntary.

I know everyone wants to compare Ed Oliver to Aaron Donald but I just don't see it other than both being  undersized athletic DTs. Donald had 29.5 sacks whole playing in P5 conferences (Big East and ACC) Oliver had 13 playing in the American Conference.

That's what I keep reading about Oliver.  His pass rush is no where near as good as Donalds, but then you read he might really show with the testing.

Of the players in the top 15 I could see him having the biggest variance on where teams grade him.

He is a pass rush specialist. Probably a guy you can move around, as well. They say athletically he might test off the charts.

pass rush specialist?  how many sacks did he have in college

I'm not saying he won't turn out good, but from what I understand he doesn't have the pass rush production you would expect in college.

I would probably look at the QB pressures and you will see that he generated quite a few of those for a DT. A lot will depend on how they use him at the next level. He is going to have a hard time just flat out beating NFL interior linemen like he did in college. It will be interesting to see. He might do well in a 3-4.

True, true. He does have some impressive video out there showing off his athleticism. And he was a very productive college player. 

All that said...not sure I would want the Panthers to take him.

I definitely think he's boom or bust. He'll be great or he might not even see a second contract.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
