To avoid the typical Young/Stroud debate route where I point at the difference on the game tape and you point at the difference on the measuring tape, I'll just say that I think he'd fit the Ted LB role in the 3-4 very well and that would also protect any concerns over length + speed. He has the strength and intelligence to thrive in the role and be an outstanding on ST.

But if we are talking about who has the best film of the 3, it isn't even close: it's Pace.

Given just Sanders or Campbell tho: Campbell

I genuinely like Pace, you’re totally right he’s a great ST guy and he seems like a really bright guy. But, we’re talking pure positional value and upside at this point a potential Mike/3-4 edge in Sanders and a true Mike in Campbell is worth more than a ted LB. Combined with much larger frames I’d rather take either of them over Pace, I could be totally wrong just reminds me of one of those tackle college machines who has a hard projection at the next level. He is definitely underrated currently and will not be surprised if he is a solid player just lacks upside.

I really, really like his tape and how he was putting up stats consistently throughout the year. There's def valid concern over size, but to me a guy that can produce like that still at worst is going to be a special teams monster coupled with being a reliable back-up.

Daiyan Henley, Ivan Pace Jr, Jack Campbell, Nick Hampton, and Nick Herbig are my favourite LBs in this draft class. Not necessarily the best LBs, just the ones that I enjoyed the most while armchair scouting during/after the season and think that they've got a chance in the pros.

I wanted to like Drew Sanders but the more I watched the more disappointed I was. 😞

Will McDonald paired with Burns though...smdh. That could be nightmare. The run might suffer as he grows but imo he's a special talent. If he has any type of work ethic for his craft, that man will be a dominant force ... I'd bet the house on that. 

This guy has all the tools to be a beast as a pure pass rusher. With Burns getting all the attention, he could eat.

Captain Jack is ready to play inside backer. If he’s there at 39 you take him. Sanders is a freak. He’s not great at playing LB tho. Campbell and Sewell will have the better career at backer. Campbell is my pick if he’s there at 39. If not…CORNER all day. Got some guys at CB this draft. I like Sewell with the next pick or Pool later if we miss out on Jack.

It's tough I think the greater need is ILB but OLB is a more valuable position

 I'd love to upgrade OLB but I think Haynes is actually pretty underrated. He had 5 sacks last year coming off the bench. I think we roll with Burns and Luvu on the outside with Haynes as a back up edge rusher. Not great, but we could get solid production and improving the middle of the line will help.  My bigger concern is the ILB where Shaq and Chinn are both pretty undersized. I like what I see from Campbell as a big body who can play close to the line of scrimmage but also has experience off ball.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.

      Plays aren't designed to go to only one receiver. Qbs go through progressions for a reason. Primary or not the other routes are viable options.
