Green19 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 1 minute ago, Golfman said: Depends on how the board falls, but IMO, the only three really worthy of that spot are Bosa, Allen and Gary. I'm somewhat skeptical of Gary personally. I wouldn't spend the 12th on Ferrell, Polite, Sweat or Burns. Could set us up for a trade down or a trade up honestly to get Allen or Gary. If we sit at 12, I'm hoping Oliver is there. Allows the 12 pick to maybe be an honest BPA... no “need” to force it. So if a guy falls because 3 QBs go early etc. Still think they get another edge in their top 3 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking for pure sacks, maybe but he can play well on all three downs and hasn't yet tapped all of his potential. In Pettine's defense, he's perfect fit.

Lol If we add Earl Thomas I think we can start talking top 5-10 defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been overly consistent, but had a big year in 2017, 8 sacks and had the highest pressure rate of any rusher (with qualifying # of snaps) in the NFL. This past year had 4 sacks but still around 53 pressures I believe, a very solid number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows me we want nothing to do with Burns or Polite though. Pettine's has a type and it's much more like Sweat/Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon14 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Something to note with the guys we've signed today. Pressures are more important than sacks when projecting future production. https://twitter.com/benbbaldwin/status/1105477409619492864 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 276 pounds. He needs to figure out how to play the run some too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
