Why aren't we considering Da'Quan Bowers?

He's a great pass rusher.

He's similar to Pep in the run game. He has the speed to chase down weakside run plays.

Also very powerful and can rag doll quarterbacks and running backs.

Also very tall so he can be disruptive at the line for opposing quarterbacks.

He also has lots of experience playing inside. Imagine CJ and Hardy lining up to Bowers and a good FA DT. We would generate a hell of a pass rush on 3rd down.

So then, why aren't we considering him? He's much more of a physical freak than Fairley and his career production is better (not that either of them produced greatly before this season).

The reason is that we got lucky and added some talent there recently.

Brown, Hardy, CJ, Brayton, Norwood. That is a group that many teams would love to have. With as many needs as we have we can not draft Bowers. PLUS the guy was not consistent. He did nothing his first 2 years at Clemson.

While he is talented we have Johnson and Hardy that is developing quite well. I see no need to add him because of this. Also this is why I doubt we will go after Green.

Exactly. Plus you just dont take WR's #1. From what I understand even with a CBA there won't be a rookie cap this year, it would start 2012. Hense all the talk about Luck should have come out this year while he could still get the big money.

Personally I don't see anyone in this draft worth paying what we would have to pay the #1 pick. I definately can't see JR paying a single WR top QB money and that is what he would have to pay him.

Trade down.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
