Is it me or is he just a glorified backup?

I know its his first year as a starter but to me he does make an occasional great play but a lot of the times gets beat in the run game and while passing the rusher.

I think DE is another position we should look at in the draft and in FA.

I was wondering the same thing as Salt. You know most times CJ is getting the double team, Hardy doesn't seem to take advantage as much as he should. We may already have a good DT rotation once the IR guys get healthy, and the rookies have a full off season. Perhaps the biggest boost we can give the interior linemen, is to draft another elite end. Is Couples that player? Haven't seen too many UNC games this year however, so I don't know much about him other than the hype.

He's a beast in the making, CJ didn't exactly blow up early either. He's a constant nuisance to QB's and will only get better. You also have to consider the revolving doors at DT and LB, which will effect his performance. Pressure wise he impressed more than CJ for me this season. Just needs to finish and he'll be a premier pass rusher.

Hardy is a good DE. Will he ever be elite? I think his ceiling may be a little lower than Mike Rucker's. There's no better DE out there in free agency that's better than Hardy if you ask me. Coples doesn't impress me, and even so, we won't draft DE with the first pick.

He is very athletic and can defend the pass very well. He leads all defensive ends in passes defended in the NFL with 11. He reminds me of Peppers because of the way he can drop back in coverage and defend the pass and the kid has a great motor. Even though he only has 4 sacks he has just about as many qb pressures as Charles Johnson so he is doing great on getting to the QB he just hasn't got the sacks. The kid just needs to learn to defend the run but I believe he should be okay in the future. We have Kieser and Applewhite who seem to be great back ups so I don't believe that DE is what we will need in the draft.

If we can get a beast DT then I feel that Hardy will do a lot better. Our rookie DTs really sucked this year and our new DTs show how bad they were. I don't know if we will draft, sign or keep what DTs we have but I feel that DT and CB are much bigger needs than DE.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By strato · Posted

      We have taken two TEs in three seasons I think, and Sanders may not pan out or it may have been a sophomore slump, but we took a guy last year that was coming on.  I am not in favor of TE in round one and really don’t consider it a high priority in any round.

      Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once
