Problem is I don’t think this EDGE class has anyone top-15 worthy.  The higher touted guys have been banged up and underperforming. Makes me hope we can crank out some wins and develop our young guys a bit. If you put this edge group with last few years, I don’t think any touch Verse/Latu/Turner as prospects.

They kind of fall into that Chop Robinson/Will McDonald type tier. None of the guys are that well rounded and none are real pass disrupters. 

if we don’t go QB, IDL or DB may be our best bet in considering the talent at the top of this class.

There's a lot of decent edge players in this draft but none of them really stand out as being worthy of a top 5 pick thus far. 

There's no Myles Garrett/Nick Bosa/Aiden Hutchinson in this draft seemingly. 

I dont think Id want an edge in the 1st unless we traded down or something. Or some player just explodes before the college season ends. 

Kyle Kennard DE from South Carolina is cooking this year. Prime target with our 2nd rounder from the Rams.

Yeah, I think people sometimes get caught up looking at just prospects who they deem as elite. Just like every draft there will end up being good players who didn't project as elite prospects and the smart teams will find them. In other words, I don't like our chances. LOL

Finding the guys in that good tier that just need a bit of tapping into is key. 

No matter the position, we haven’t been able to land the Tuli, Brents, Byron Young, Kobie Turner, T Stevenson’s of the world. We keep just missing in that and zeroing in on certain types at that lovely WR spot.

That BC kid Donavan Ez-something is another in that mold who could be blooming.

Antwaun Powell-Ryland is a Hokie I'm interested in seeing hopefully in the senior bowl and underwear Olympics. He has had a knack getting to the QB. Mid to late round guy. He's gonna need at least 1-2 years development to really be in on most downs. Never going to be that run stuffer and tackles will always be able to run him over when teams run downhill. Little different than barno, who never will have the anchor to be more than a pass rush specialist or special teams guy. Barno has freakish length and speed but no anchor. Powell has better anchor, more compact, and isn't 100% a liability in the run

We need to get away from drafting WRs in the 2nd round in particular. none of them have worked with the exception of Musin Muhammad. Draft fuging defense. EDGE, LB, CB, DT. Have at it.

Feel we should go D.  So an edge player. 

is QB the biggest need? Sure.  But we have been so horrific while fixated on that for a half decade… I would focus on just building a functional team for a year or so.  No draft picks assets to QB.  Pay a vet.  

 

Not a great class at DE/Edge. BPA, even if that means passing on an edge rusher in the top 5.

There is some good pass rushers in this class but nobody worth taking top 5 maybe even top 10. I have been saying that..... but we can definitely fix the position later in the draft tho. It's a lot of guys I like in this draft on the D line.

I think our first pick has to be a player thats gonna make the biggest impact and that's at any position on this team including QB.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
