Nic Scourton EDGE/DE Texas A&M 6'3 257  81" span

Preseason top-10 rated guy, some had him rated late-1st, Really young kid, high upside. 

Quote

A thickly built, high-motor rusher, Scourton is quick to shoot his hands, create force and walk blockers into the pocket, but the next step in his development will be diversifying his attack by setting up counters and stacking moves. His hustle also stands out in the run game and directly leads to production (29 tackles for loss over his last 23 games). Overall, Scourton is a banshee off the edge with the quickness and power to work half-a-man and wear down blockers. His game plan is overly reliant on effort and relatively basic, though, because of his average athletic tools. His aggressive worker-bee play style should translate to starting snaps in the NFL.

Thickly built, especially in his legs and bubble

Played at 285 pounds in 2024, but he plans to stay at 265 pounds in the NFL

Physical, attacking hands and tries to run through blockers

Often hooked/pulled, and his activity attracts holding calls

Adequate snap anticipation to get rolling downhill

Rush arsenal is a work in progress, but he’ll break out a cross-chop and double-hand swipe at the top of his rush

Moves with fluidity in his lower body and loves to unleash a spin move (with mixed results)

Determined in the run game and makes offenses pay for trying to block him front-side with a tight end

Sniffs out screens and shows good read and react when dropping and covering areas

Average speed, but his pursuit effort is outstanding, especially from the back side

Earned captain status as sophomore at Purdue and quickly ingrained himself in the Texas A&M culture

Led both a Big Ten team and an SEC team in sacks over past two seasons

One of the youngest players in the draft class

Don't know much about this dude  honestly. I saw his name a good bit early in the off season but saw it less as we got closer to the draft. 

Looks like we traded down 11 spots in the 3rd round , down 11 spots in R4, and moved up from pick 230 to pick 208. So we really didn't lose much. Just some random ass pick swaps with Denver. 

His sack production does not stand out to me. 2 sacks in 2022, 10 sacks in 2023, and 5 sacks in 2024. Meh. 

Pro comparison is Trey Hendrickson, which is wild. If he ends up being that good, then this was a steal of a pick.

Ooh I like. Incredible 2023 tape, decent 2024 season at a heavier weight (280+). Some early rumblings this year of top 10 potential. Explosive motor and very young (20).

Lost weight by the draft and he seems to be better for it. Nasty spin move.

Good value.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
