I know we are already stacked at defensive tackle but who ever picks up this kid will have a stud. One of the quickest d-tackles I have seen in a while with strength and size to go along with his skill set.  If the G-man did decide to draft Donald I wouldnt lose any sleep over it, but its highly unlikely.

Havent seen much of the kid, but heard a lot of good stuffs.

 

I'm not sure about Donald, but I have thought about a "Louis Nix" pick up at no28. It's not going to happen, but I do believe that Nix will be a hell of a player. I would not mind at all to have a Star/Nix duo for years to come even tho KK played well.

A part of me is hoping we draft Easley to replace Dwan. Prior to him getting injured, he was a terror for OLs across the SEC.

 

WalterFootball has Easley going to Carolina in the 3rd round as a DE. I think Easley is more of a 43 DE than DT. He's coming off an ACL so he could possibly fall that far. Tho, seen mocks where he's gone higher. Dwan could potentially be a cap casualty this offseason.

I never thought about Easley being a DE that would be a nice addition for sure

 

Well, he's a bit of a tweener at 6'2 and 285lbs. Easley looks and is built a lot like a DE imo. Very similar to a Lamarr Houston type of body.

 

A lot of mocks that I've seen has him mocked to SF which make sense that he'd play DE in that 34 D. But, I believe that he'll have the ability to move all around the place in this 43 D; inside/outside.

I don't see why he couldn't play at around 275 or less and be a little more explosive if he's going to play DE.

Easley was probably the best DL besides Clowney that i seen this past season. has a lot of versatility because like some one has said, he is able to play many positions in many different fronts. BPA could very well be him,if he is in the 3rd, and i wouldnt be upset with the pick. he can stay at 285 and play DE in a 4-3. because he did have the quickness,1st step, and athletic ability to bend and play. would kick in to DT in passing situations.

I disagree with picking him up in 3rd round, due to depth in the draft we should be able to pick up a Starter on the Offensive side with that pick. We are pretty much stacked at the DL and his snaps and impact would be far less than a draft pick on the Offensive side. If we are going to beat Seattle or 49rs we have to beat their DEFENSE and that starts with improvement on the Offensive side of the ball. 

 

OL, TE, WR & CB should be the top priority especially in the 1-4 rounds.

Then that goes ago against your philosophy of drafting bpa if he is graded out much higher than a need position.plus you want to keep your strength strong. Bringing him in also allows a Dwon Edwards becomes expendable. He also keeps the dl rotation really strong

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
