Melvin Ingram

On a team with likely-1st-rounder Devin Taylor and all-decade recruit freshman Jadeveon Clowney, Ingram is easily the most polished DLineman on the team. He is amazing at just about everything on defense. Mostly moves inside to play DT on 3rd and longs to get him, Clowney, and Taylor all in on the pass rush at the same time. He just does what he has to do to win. Would love to see him playing on the Panthers but even with his strong push this year he's likely only a 3rd round pick at best.

That INT today again showed his amazing versatility. He wasn't a dlineman busting up a screen pass and getting lucky, he was in COVERAGE that play.

He is by far the best player on USC's defense right now. I bet he gets taken by someone like the Patriots who love versatile guys.

He is a monster. He has been reported (and all this was said before this year) to throw the ball 70+ yards, punt the ball 50+ yards, and is easily the best athlete on this team. He is not only the best player on the USC defense right now, but the best player on any defense.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
