Joey Bosa(2016) vs Derrick Morgan(2011)..

This just proves he shouldn't be taken first overall.

 

still, with my last post said -- I've been on the Ramsey bus for a few weeks now...

Would I love for us to take Bosa? Yes. Will I defend his game when I see false assumption made? Yes. But Ramsey is an all around talent that we take 9/10 of the time in the right scenario....

 

Pretty scary close comparisons lol

 

I understand you're a big Bosa fan but he was a disappointment in that game. I didn't see #1 pick from that performance. He doesn't have elite pass rushing skills and relies on bullying tackles who have lesser length. He wins with power, how will that transfer against bigger OTs compared to the ones he faced in college? He lacks explosion and I don't think he has the speed to turn the corner. He's a 4-3 DE and barely has any experience dropping into coverage, so I can't even imagine how he projects as a 3-4 OLB. He needs to shed weight if he comes here. He's a good run defender with pass rushing skills, that's how I view him in the NFL. He either didn't try as hard last year or was exposed, neither is good. He shouldn't have had that steep of a drop off production wise.

Overall, I don't want to draft a guy who is a better fit in the 4-3 and who is better against the run than the pass at the next level. That doesn't scream #1 pick to me. If you're drafting a DE #1 you better make sure he fits your scheme so you can get the most out of your investment and he should be able to be able to get to the QB consistently. Right now, I don't buy him as a 10 sack guy.

 

Simply put, none of Bosa's comparisons are players who were drafted in the top 10...let alone as the first pick in the draft. Morgan's a pretty good comparison. Ryan Kerrigan is another (mid-late first rounder).

Bosa SHOULD drop out of the top 10 except for comparative need. Some GM's will probably feel better about drafting Bosa than say Dodd who was a 1 yr wonder.

 

I don't "watch film" because I have a busy job and other hobbies, but when I watched Ogbah play, he was always disruptive.

 

That MSU game on Bosa is a good one to gauge how he does in the pros. He couldn't handle the NFL caliber LT they have. He really belongs on the left side vs RT's and TEs

 

Bosa's floor is Morgan, his ceiling is Greg Hardy without beating women. Some compare him to Strahan... if you knew he was going to be Strahan you take him #1 not matter the defense you run.

He's a top 10 pick that I wouldn't mind us taking if we traded back and Ramsey/Tunsil/Jack are all gone.

This EDGE class is weak
