To be fair, I'm more talking Polite. As most everyone in this forum knows, Burns isn't my guy. I don't want him. But others are head over heels for him. I haven't evaluated Gary because he's not in play for the Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-draft process obviously is a red flag, but he looked good on film. Problem is he doesn't look like he can add "good" weight, but let's see what an NFL team can do with him... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he can play around 250 with good weight. But trying to be closer to 260 to prove he can play in a 4-3 was a huge mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t remember seeing a high caliber prospect this draft get dominated by a TE like I did Josh Allen vs UGA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real. He made some good plays unblocked, and was amazing in coverage. When rushing the passer through, the TEs (especially 89) held their own. When he did face an OT he was shut down completely... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Glad to see people realizing Allen is overrated and Winovich > Gary. Could see Allen fall into the teens on draft day honestly. Somebody tumbles every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Nick Bosa has average explosion, but excellent functional strength. His ceiling is Aaron Kampman. He lumbers a bit around the corner and his strength and technique advantage will be more limited on the next level. He doesn't have elite fluidity or bend or explosion, and most (all?) of the All-Pro level rushers in the NFL have at least one of these. Looks more like a top 25 "solid" high floor prospect than a top 5 high ceiling guy. Prove me wrong. Also, I think Josh Allen is only slightly above Bosa. He has a little higher potential IMO. I'd rank my edge: Burns, Sweat, Allen, Bosa as the 1st rounders this year. Edited April 10, 2019 by incognito_man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of examples of great/elite pass rushers throughout the past 20 or so years who dominated due to power, punch, and technical skill (hand usage, rush moves, rush plans, etc.). While Bosa isn't elite in terms of fluidity, bend, or explosion, he's also not totally lacking those attributes. I'd say Ryan Kerrigan is a better comparison than Kampman, and I don't think that's his ceiling at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the Ryan Kerrigan comp as well. I liked him coming out. Would you take Ryan Kerrigan top 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, yeah. If you get there type of production he's given from a top three pick, I think you did fine. 60 sacks over there last five years, never missed a game. Led the league one year in tackles for loss too... He's a perfectly fine top 3 pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for other examples, I could toss out Reggie White, but I imagine you'd argue that his explosion and fluidity were elite for his size. Instead, I'll throw out five names: Aldon Smith, Jared Allen, Terrell Suggs, Frank Clark, and Michael Bennett. If you compare Nick Bosa's combine performances to Aldon Smith's and Jared Allen's, they have a lot of similarities. Obviously, those are best case scenarios, but Bosa has the sort of skill-set both those guys possessed. We'll see how he develops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was a mid 1st rounder as well. I think Bosa is a fine mid/late 1st round guy. Just don't see the high ceiling that I'd want to invest a top 2-3 pick in.

In fairness, he was a mid round pick in potentially the most stacked upper first round of the last two decades. It's certainly up there. Everyone in the top 16 with the exception of the terrible quarterbacks and Nick fairley made at least one pro bowl. If he had come out in 2013 instead, I don't think anyone would have batted an eyelash at him in the top three or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lark25 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I made the comp of Kerrigan with more upside a while ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
