The Pro Dareus crowd

[Jackofalltrades]

Nick Hayden is better than Dareus...

Now this is just stupid.

[Awesomeness!!]

Just on work ethic alone, I bet my left nut Hayden has a better career than Dareus..

Nick Hayden is better than Dareus...

so you are saying Dareus is known for his pass rushing ability and this is a weak class at DT?

that is news to me......

Dareus is a penetrator who's also strong and thick enough to anchor against the run. His position at Alabama limited his sack opportunities. He's not just a big body.

Also, noone is Suh.

Just on work ethic alone, I bet my left nut Hayden has a better career than Dareus..

Since Dareus is known for his work effort I'll take that bet.

How many seasons have we had problems at the DT position. It's a safe pick relatively speaking.

Every since Buckner retired and Jenkins last played healthy. It's been a while now that our D-line play lacked and has consistatnly deteriorated. It wasn't so long ago that our defensive line was the most feared in the League and now it's the biggest joke.

Reaching to fill a need with a player who is not with the pick is a sure fire way of having draft failure.

And the same avoid risk, playing it safe got us where we are now..It's crazy how some people are more concerned about if he bust yet overlook the possibility of him panning out and reaching his ceiling.

Since Dareus is known for his work effort I'll take that bet.

He takes plays off..

He takes plays off..

That's Fairley, not Dareus.

this is funny because quite a few people last year preferred McCoy.

...including Mike Mayock who said McCoy would be more disruptive than Suh.

where is crimsontidepanther fan or whatever? Why hasn't he had a complete break down of how he feels about Dareus

There is a difference in taking a calculated gamble and reaching for another "athlete playing QB this is supposed to revolutionize the position".

[Peppers90 NC]

Glenn Dorsey was once considered the safest and best pick of the draft too..

only if you weren't aware of his knee injury that he played with the entire last year as LSU

[MadHatter]

Refresh my memory...what DT helped Charles Johnson out last year?

None....and that is my point.

Not sure what you point was panthro. Can you be more specific.

I believe that Johnson/hardy/etc. would be much better with a penetrating force in the middle.

[Peppers90 NC]

You guys do realize that Marcell Dareus is not Suh? He is basically the polar opposite of Suh. Suh is a pass rushing DT......Dareus isn't. Fairley projects to be a better force in 3rd down scenarios.

I don't see how this need isn't better addressed in the 3rd round (deep draft for DTs) and FA.

Ask Cam if he thinks Dareus can't get to a passer.

I only like Dareus if we trade down, but he probably won't get past Denver
