Is Robert Quinn according to Mayock. Paraphrasing he said on tape Quinn is the most dominant edge rusher he's seen.

Question, with our reported interest in Bowers and this information does taking DE become more of a possibility assuming our Scouts and FO agree.

I thought Bowers was the consensus top DE, but I really respect Mayock and his opinion.

Quinn is a better edge rusher. Everette Brown is a better edge rusher than Bowers. Only difference is Bowers can do all the other things as well. He doesn't have to just rely on one trick to get to a QB. He can move bodies.

Quinn can pretty much do it all. Bowers might be slightly stronger against the run but not by a large margin.

Quinn was a guy, that if he could have played this year, could of been a lock for the #1 draft spot since Luck decided to stay in school. Since he has been out for a full season it will be interesting to see what he has done with himself in the time off.

Physically, he was a specimen. His motor was non-stop and was not the kind of guy you matched up one on one with anyone on throwing downs.

If Quinn was able to add 10-15 pounds and not lose any of the speed and quickness, it could get even more interesting at the top.

I don't know that you could use the #1 overall on a guy who hasn't played for a year. Quinn showing up at the combine and blowing people away will honestly only hurt us. If there are percieved to be two elite pass-rushers in this draft then teams that would have moved up for Bowers will sit and wait for Quinn.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
