Who would you pick??

[Jesse]

Brockers - The interior DL bolsters run defense and helps the pass rush. The CB class is deep (Hosley, Minnifield, Hayward, Jenkins).

Edit:Say for example Brockers would produce like Suh and Jenkins would produce like Revis. I'd take Jenkins in that case.

[GamecockSmitty4]

For me, it's Reiff and not even close.

1. Coples

2. Brockers

3. Jenkins

4. Brown

5. Reiff

Why do people think that if we add some magical pass rusher that we automatically get lotza and lotza sacks!

You must have a dominant DT to have a consistently good pass rushing DL. To think otherwise is simply contradictory to basic laws of the game. It doesn't matter how many good DE's you have without interior pressure.

Its not a must to have a dominant DT to have a good pass rush.

Its not a must to have a dominant DT to have a good pass rush.

To have a front four that can consistently get to the QB without use of additional blitzes and extra scheming, you must have an interior presence that can provide pressure in the middle of the line.

Was that verbalized well enough for you? Because if you disagree with that-and I'll be nice here-but if you disagree with that, you're very, very, wrong.

It's also not a must to have a dominant CB to have a good pass defense, but it sure helps. In both cases.

This has been my favorite thread..i feel like this is similar to what RR and Hurney actually do. Personally, I don't think we can go wrong with Brockers or Coples..I think only one will be available when we pick so the decision will be made for us. But if not, then I'm still on that Coples wagon.

[nagai]

Reiff is the safest pick.

Coples can actually play DT as well as DE and has a high chance of succeeding in the NFL imo. I just don't trust this guy playing at 100% after he gets a paycheck.

Brockers is the rawest of all of them but also gives you reasons to believe. He loves the game and seems pretty smart. Right now he's my favorite... for the time anyway.

fug the other 2.

Where is the none of the above option because I don't want any of them with the number 8/9 pick

If they're all the same level, Brockers is the obvious choice. DT is the most integral position on the defensive side of the ball for fielding an elite defense. Jenkins is the secid choice, but Brockers edges him out because having a dominant interior generally improves your secondary.

Agree very much :) To fantastic DTs can make average DEs a lot better when they force QBs to move out of the pocket. Two fantastic DEs does not do the same thing for DTs because the QB can just step up in the pocket.

We NEED a better DT.

so according to your statement the Giants pass d is successful because of Linval Joseph. you can use a DE such as Coples to slide into the middle to make a presence. you also need several other aspects, which is why im saying it has to be between one of the DL because thats were it starts. as of right now Coples and Brockers are equal. il be cool with either but hopefully both spots will get looked at with the 1st and 2nd rounders.
