I know our staff has said they see Luvu as a starter-quality edge guy, and while I appreciate his potential, I also think it is fairly important to bring in a proven guy just to cover all of our bases.

I'm thinking Clowney or Zadarius Smith.  Both guys can play all 3 downs, will provide pass rush but will also be more stout against the run than what we had last season. 

I wonder why we haven't heard any whispers about this position of need?

Based on signings like Wilson, and Littleton, I think we see a trend back towards more DE's as the edges in our fronts versus an EDGE LB'er. 

With that in mind YGM is the immediate beneficiary, and in Nickel fronts / pass downs -- Haynes / Luvu will spell. I think we continue to see hybrid fronts. 

I am also not against adding -- Clowney / Ingram / Hughes as veterans to add to the rotation.

Would love to see them get Ingram

I think we may feel that we have it covered with Luvu and Haynes.  Both were on the brink of breaking out--both simply needed more time on the field.  Their production vs. the number of snaps they played was impressive--I see the point, but I think we might lose a sack or two, but we might not.

Burns has to start converting on more of his near misses, too.

There hasn’t been a more overrated football player the past two decades than Jadaveon Clowney. He was a decent college player but was very big beneficiary of the social media boom and making some highlights on ESPN. 

Lazy.  His work ethic is (reportedly) non-existent.  He has always gotten by on his natural ability--which is impressive.  For example:

Some players make their name on one highlight.

Reddick played out of his mind last year and was a key reason the D started out so strong.   We should have signed a 2 year on that one, but oh well.   I don't think Haynes or Luvu have the abiltiy to do as well as Reddick did.  I would be very happy if we put some capital there.

      Hes Short as Hell but Man I Like This Kid

      Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.

      Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky.

      Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
