jrry32 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Florida DT Taven Bryant has really improved this year. He's making so many plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurst will be a player, but he'll likely be unfairly slept on in the draft. Hell, even Donald was after putting up arguably the best combine numbers ever for his position. But you're also proving the other person's point here. Donald wasn't even a top 10 pick despite everything he had going for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have to be a giant to be a good DL in the NFL. The Mike Daniels comparison is pretty good. Either way, his size won't limit him. It will more than likely help him, really.

NFL made that mistake before, they likely won't vastly underate a DT again just because he's a tiny bit smaller than the norm. Also, his point relies on Hurst being 6'0" 280, which isn't a real thing. Hurst is probably closer to 6'2" 300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last DT they made that mistake with was Grady Jarrett. You figure after Geno Atkins, Aaron Donald, and Grady Jarrett that they wouldn't overlook the 'undersized' DTs anymore. Jarrett shouldn't have dropped to the 5th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still haunts me that the Lions traded away a 3rd to go get Gabe Wright instead of Jarrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If youre looking for something from a certain week, you dont have to sift through the entire thread....just find the dates from said week youre looking for. Honestly, it would be a much better idea to have this all in one thread. Just make a thread called "Who is impressing you?" and viola....you got everything in one central thread.
