Terrell Mcclain And Fua Versus Dt In This Years Draft


Recommended Posts

Is there a hugh improvement between our two DT drafted last year and Fletcher Cox, Michael Brocker, Dontari Poe, etc.? I would assume McClain and Fua has been hitting the weights with one season of experience under them. Most DT struggle in their first year and what make Cox, Brocker, Poe, Worthy, Still, and Reyes instant starters before McClain and Fau.

Was your last sentence a question? Or a statement?

Fletcher Cox is considerably on a higher level than McClain and Fua. His skill set is just high. McClain and Fua were never rated that high to begin with. Cox may struggle but not as much as Fua and McClain did in their first year for the simple fact that he's just better, more complete, at another level than the DT's we took last year.

All, talent wise, are definitely better.

Not a knock on McClain or Fua. Well, it kind of is. But I'm a big fan of a lot of the DTs in the draft. I think if we decide not to go DT in the first, we should still have some great options in the second like Thompson, Worthy, Wolfe, or Chapman.

You guys did not read his question. He asked would Cox or any of the other DT's be better AS A ROOKIE than McClain and Fua AS A SOPHOMORE NFL player. It is a short-sighted question, but at least know what he asked rather than thinking the OP just asked is a Top-10 DT = Round 3 and Round 4 DT.

Cox would also have an offseason, wouldn't be playing beside a rookie, and everyone on the F wouldn't be in a new system.

I mean if McClain or Fua came in under that criteria they would have been better as well.

But Cox is better....Still, Worthy, and Thompson. Poe is probably on the same level coming in as they were. Better skill set but not a better DT coming.

Comparing rookie to our sophomores....probably a push. If the rookies are better it probably won't be by much.

Well how would Cox compare to Darius as a rookie?

Cox is a better Prospect then Dareus was last year.

Cox played in the same conference. Had better numbers then Marcell coming out of college. Was a starter longer then Marcell. Cox had a better showing at the combine. He's faster and Just as strong as Dareus.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
