Jerel Worthy

[nagai]

is a freaking beast! After watching some tape, he may be my favorite DT in the draft. He has a well rounded game and there's always something that you like about him, even on his bad plays. He plays the run well and he's a decent pass rusher too imo. I'm not sure here he got the lazy tag from, he looks pretty good from the film I've seen. Call me a fan.

[JawnyBlaze]

He's not bad. If we don't take a DT in the 1st I wouldn't be opposed to Worthy in the 2nd. He doesn't look as good as Brockers or Still though. I'd put him in the same category as Cox though, in the 2nd sure, but not in the 1st unless we trade down about 20 spots.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Can rush the passer and hold his own in the run game, would love him in the second round

[KDawg004]

If we take Coples or something in the first, then I hope Worthy or Cox are still there in the 2nd. Both are great penetrating DTs.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I think he can drop to us at the 2nd. I'd prefer DT first then CB second or vice versa. To be honest I rather see all the picks in this draft to focus on the Defense. About the only offensive positions i'd like to see filled in the draft early on would be OG/OT.

I really wouldn't mind if this team went DT in the first two rounds. Brockers followed by a Poe, Worthy, Taamu, Cox in the second. It wouldn't be what I'd do, simply because of all the second round talent in the Secondary, but I wouldn't be disappointed by it. It's time for this team to stop screwing at the DT position.

We haven't had a quality DT in probably five years. Not since Jenkins left. No more aging average players. No more stop gap "solutions." No more mid to late round developmental players. It's time to make the move for an elite player to anchor this D. I'm sick of watching our LBs get slaughtered. I'm sick of teams deciding to run up the gut at will.

Get an elite talent in the middle. Whatever it takes.

Getting DT's in the first two rounds would be pretty awesome. Brockers and Ta'amu would be my choice.

Or how awesome would it be to actually be able to pull off that fabled trade with the Bengals for their two 1sts and take Brockers and Poe :)

totally agreed. and, like i said before, it's not me giving up on mcclain and fua, it's 1) wanting to have a dominant presence in the middle and 2) not being content with a "gosh, i hope they work out" attitude towards a couple 3rd round picks.

i like worthy, just not in the first round. same with cox. i like brockers and to a lesser extent, still in the first. i like poe as well. i have him ahead of cox and worthy.

[Yaboychris28]

He's been mt favorite DT from the get go. I would love to see him in a Panther uni

[davos]

I like this idea of sticking with d-line. I wouldn't mind looking for a type that can go in at DT/DE (depending on our sets) with one of those picks. Additionally, the hybrid LB/DE type works in our scheme as well. Overall, I think we have a solid group of players to consider this year and that's why its been difficult to sort out so far imo.

I put Cox in his own bubble because he can be a beast in a 3-4. He's my favorite DT prospect by far but I gotta admit not as well suited for us as a Brockers or Still. If Worthy, Curry, or a strong d-line talent makes it to us in the second, it could be a nice scenario.

I'd be down with Brockers-Worthy-Trumaine Johnson type draft.

I'm just ready for some quality new defensive talent. Given who's available, we can nab a FS or WLB in the FA that would be upgrades and focus on building a d from the trenches through these picks. On the other hand I'm still open to a CB in the first.

im also leaning towards the DE/DT picks in the 1st two rounds. any combo of Coples, Brockers, Still, Worthy, Mercilus, Curry, Tammu, Cox, Poe, Jones would make me happy.

Agreed. After watching both SB teams make it with very marginal DB's, getting pressure with the Front 4 is ABSOLUTELY the way to go.
