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.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
