There's someone who REALLY smells like the pick to me...

Kinlaw is not working out at the Combine.

No doubt he is a freak, but Brown is a flat out monster.  Brown can play NT, UT, DE, etc.  He is a freak as well.  One of the strongest dudes coming out too.

From what I read and it stuck---Brown is the better all around player because he can stuff the run as well as pressure the passer--has versatility. (I think they both probably do).  I did not see either play as much as I would have liked. I do not see either as a 3-4 NT--an under tackle maybe.  Kinlaw went to USC as a strong side DE--I see both as 3-5 techniques.  Not an area I am comfortable diagnosing, however, when you have 2 beasts like this.

It seems to be him, Brown or Simmons.. To me if either is availble grab him... The OL should be addressed in FA.. IMO!! not high

Because addressing the OL in FA instead of with day one picks has worked out so well for us in the past and we have no real pressing need to protect a 30 year old qb attempting to return from serious multi year injury issues.

I don't care about the rivalry either. It's stupid to draft DTs in the 1st round and every SC fan who likes the Panthers begs for us to draft their best player 1st round every year. The year Hayden Hurst was drafted, people begged for us to ignore WR and go TE (Don't forget, Olsen played all of 2017 before this pick). I apologize if you had other reasons.

I do go to Clemson, but I could give two craps about SC. We beat them 6 times in a row and they have no end in sight to beating us, it's not even a rivalry anymore. My point is I don't go beg for Clemson draft picks every time.

I apologize. 

That may be true for you personally but Clemson fans overall hold a grudge against the panthers and think it’s some kind of conspiracy that we never draft their players.

Oh really? Well there goes that theory. The way he looked at the senior bowl is evidence enough though. I would personally rather have Brown, but either is going to be a great pick if we go that direction.

Kinlaw could very well blow the doors off at the combine, don't be shocked if he ends up going ahead of Brown. A nose guy who can generate that kind of pressure and has that athleticism is pretty rare. Would not shock me at all if he is our pick.

I'm not a big fan of taking a guy over someone with better game tape because of a Combine performance.

Okudah only interests me if they let JB walk. If they keep him drafting Okudah would be a waste IMO. 

Don't follow this one at all tbh.

Why would that be a waste? I don't expect us to keep JB or Okudah to fall to us but why would having two good outside corners be a waste? Let's Jackson play more of a slot/Saftey role too.

That’s because Clempson fans aren’t very bright. 

You say that, but, for starters you spelled Clemson wrong. And in my experience Clemson fans are some of the best out there. I've actually enjoyed them in Cardinal Stadium. Not a fan base who you're afraid is going to shank you in the parking lot.

Just out of morbid curiosity, who is more likely to shank you in the parking lot?

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By SCO96 · Posted

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2024 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
