Both of the LSU "DEs" unless they're able to successfully convert to OLB. It's not an automatic transfer from undersized college DE to NFL 3-4 OLB. If they can't learn to cover and do all the stuff OLBs do they'll be worthless in the NFL.

I think both are potentially busts but for Montgomery, he has NFL DE size. He's def built like one. Mingo on the other hand will def need to be a 34 OLB. That man is a stick.

To be honest I haven't watched much on either this year, neither of them interest me, but I saw a lot of them while researching Brockers last year and unless he's put on a lot of weight since last year he's got a ways to go to be DE size. I haven't seen either listed higher than about 245 which is minuscule for a DE. I have more faith in guys like Clowney and Dion Jordan (who are listed around the same weight) because they're closer to 6'6 or so if memory serves me. Montgomery is like 6'4 or shorter if I remember correctly, so not only does his frame not have as much room to add weight as the other two guys, he won't have the reach to help him out either. I remember when Michael Johnson (Bengals) was coming out, he was built kinda like Jordan and raw as hell but he's turned into a pretty solid pass rusher. I was kinda hoping we'd spend a third or fourth on him at the time. It's taken a few years for him to get there though. When starting from such an obvious handicap like being >245 lbs or lighter and not having at least above average length, that's too risky IMO :)

Edit: I was just perusing Kiper's mock and he has Montgomery at 260. If that's right, I'll downgrade my major concern about him to a minor concern.

I'm trolling.

But in all seriousness Warmack isn't the most NFL ready OG you've ever seen. We go through this song and dance every year because OG is such an easy position to hit on meaning inferior minds can look at his YouTube highlights and be like "wow, brah he made that dude fall over he good."

Decastro was a better overall prospect just last year.

Decastro didnt play in the toughest conference in college football either so he wasnt really going up against NFL caliber talent every week.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
