Danger Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Andrew Thomas seems like the only who's going to be a good pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAGLES3658 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 What happened to Lawrence? wasn't he really good as a rookie? Completely forgot about him as I haven't heard his name in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His cross-town contemporary Mekhi Becton has been even more questionable. I don't know how Jedrick Wills has been. My understanding is that Wirfs has been very good. He was my top OT headed into the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at a lot of these drafts put me off guys unless they are freaky / can get to the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I was giddy over the Gettleman hire by the Giants. He sucked as a Panther. It was inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he can get pressure too could be a helluva boom. Very wary of it that Yeah, I think there is still more untapped potential pass rush wise. He was playing at a heavier weight at Georgia than what he tested at the combine. He also came to the game late pressured to give football a try as a sophomore in HS and didn't move to the defensive side till his last 2 years of HS. Here is a quote about it from his background in Brugler's draft guide: Quote Despite very little experience, Davis was pressured to give football a try and split his sophomore year between junior varsity and varsity, lining up mostly as an offensive lineman. He moved up to varsity full-time for his final two seasons and played on both sides of the ball, although it became clear that his future would be on defense. As a senior, Davis helped Mallard Creek to a 14-1 record and the 2017 4AA state championship game, earning First Team All-State honors as a defensive lineman. At Georgia I believe he was playing in the mid 350s to mid 360s. Georgia didn't need him to be much of a penetrator with Jalen Carter (possible top 5 pick next year in a better class) and Devonte Wyatt. They wanted him to be a mountain in the middle and he came off on 3rd downs, so Wyatt and Carter could rush a lot of the time. Players in that Georgia defense played their roles and how they were taught. The main focus of Georgia's defense is run first, second and third. I think Davis should be playing in the 330-340 range to prolong his career and maximize his natural explosiveness. The way he got out of the gate when he ran his 40 blew my friggin mind before he ever finished it and I saw the time. I think he wasn't the best at timing the snap to maximize his get off. I think he could get better at that, but yeah. He's a top 15 prospect for me all day. If he slips out of the top 15 I'd be pretty surprised. He's a rare mix of size and athleticism just like Travon Walker and coaches will be salivating over their potential and what they think they can get out of them. Both of them will have to develop at the next level cause while being a top athlete is crucial to being a top pass rusher. Pass rushing goes beyond just elite athleticism. It's an art. Edit: Yep. I found a tweet from the combine from his media interview about it. Edited April 24, 2022 by TheRealMcCoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
