Depends on workouts/combine/etc. I suspect he will end up in the last first to early second range.

I suspect his numbers won’t jump off athletically but he’s a damn good football player

IDK. I would say his his floor is higher than almost anyone mocked ahead of him. Most of the guys mocked in the top 15-20 as DE/EDGE guys have astronomical bust factors, IMO.

This so much. Gotta stop drafting potential based on athleticism. Need an edge that will be consistently tough against the run and consistently pressure the QB. Rather have that guy than a 14 sack guy that disappears for 9/10 of every game. Need football players. Not crossfit champions.

I like Gillote. Isn't he going to be at the Senior Bowl?

Yeah I believe so.

I like a few things about his game:

-Great run defender, good awareness to break off engagement and quickly move laterally.  His twitch and quickness is legit.

-Moveset: has a nice swim, power rush (against guards and tackles).  Good bend but he just thrives in the trenches. His power seems to be a top strength which I like for us.

-Good size and provides versatility.  He's 6'3 275, and a quick dude.  Evero tends to flex in guys like Clowney in nickel packages which we could do with someone like Gillote.  

-Combining the high motor, strength, size, quickness, he easily has 3-down ability. 

Overall, he's the type that will get a us pushing OLs backwards quicker.  Need that type of EDGE who isn't afraid to go at it in the trenches.

    • Tbf Darnolds last few games here were on par for "good Darnold." Some good decisions and some bad. He had extended success with the Vikings but he still had plenty of poor decisions. Still better than anything we have here. I've always been a Darnold fan and I hope that he finds continued success as a veteran. 
    • I honestly hope he figures it out, but at this point we have little reason to think that he will. He's been even worse than he was as a rookie, which is tough to do. I see no reason he shouldn't be bumped down the depth chart once Coker is back. Jalen is the better player and it's not even remotely close right now. That would if nothing else allow XL to be moved around to where he's in the best position to contribute instead of forcing him into a role he's clearly not ready for and may never be ready for.
    • I think a lot of this stems from how well some of our FA acquisitions / trades played after leaving us. But there's a lot of important caveats there, and I think in Mayfield's case he needed to hit rock bottom (yes, we are rock bottom) to bounce back. He seems much less arrogant in TB. Darnold was, for Darnold, playing well here when we moved on from him too.  I think you are right. I also think we can't wait another 3 years to see if the offense turns around. XL needs to start his turn around this year. And Bryce needs to at least return to how he played the last half of his 2nd year.  Or, imo, we move on from both.
