I still don’t understand what the hell he’s ever done to warrant a first round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskieBear Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Boutte is likely the Pickens of this draft. Super talented, but off-field/antics might cause him to drop. Would Poles pass over him in the 2nd round too like he did Pickens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not certain he looks as good as Pickens on the field, but it's likely a moot point when we go S/CB/S/CB with our first couple picks, after Mustipher and Pringle extensions make O talent not a need early in the draft.

Right? I keep picking him well ahead of his sim slot when I run them, usually early 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm a USC fan (born into it). Tuli would be a solid pick but I'm not sure he has the athleticism or twitch to be a difference maker. He reminds me of Uchenna Nwosu coming out: solid player who can play some special teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if teams look at him like he might be more fitted to be a 3-4 DE to me in the Justin Smith skill set mold than as a penetrating DT.

The Illini DT is a top 5 run defender and the #2 interior Pass rusher and is currently listed as UDFA on all the sims. EDIT: I had his stats above a bit wrong.... he's the #4 DT via PFF with top 10 marks as pass rusher and run stuffer.

Madmike90 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 This is great news if we decide to not take Carter...Young is very underrated at this stage of the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickens was more talented which was why it was such a difficult one because you know he could help you so much...Boutte just seems like more of a headache and worse still all but quit on his team this year.

How low would Boutte have to fall for you to be willing to take a chance on him given the importance of our WR adds this season? Remember before the season many if not most would’ve been fine taking him in the top 15. He has talent. A lot of it. I don’t think there’s any question about that. BUT, there have been hundreds of super talented players who flamed out quickly in the league for a whole host of reasons. For me I’m not sure we know enough yet to answer that question (which is fine - draft isn’t for almost 4 months). Why did the effort seemingly drop significantly this year? Was he playing through an injury all season? Was he playing to not get hurt? Is there any truth to the “asked to leave LSU” rumor and, if so, why?
