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

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
