    He only has one pass rush move which is jet up-field and hope those long arms can reach out and corral the QB in. He seems to have slow change of direction too, at 6'6" its understandable

    He never goes balls to the wall

    But that 6'6" frame is tempting, reminds me of Kearse but without the insane speed.

    Since this is the OLB/DE thread - my favorite player so far that I had never heard of until I started watching tape is Jaylon Ferguson. I can't believe I hadn't heard of him, because he broke the FBS record for sacks previously held by Terrell Suggs.

    Love this guys explosion and physicality. I haven't seen any mock draft with him in the 1st round yet, so I need to do more research on his weaknesses besides playing at a small school (and lesser competition). If he's there in the 2nd and we didn't go OLB in the 1st this would be a great pick for J-Rob.

    Imagine getting a stud D-lineman like Jeffrey Simmons at #19 then Ferguson in the 2nd. Our defense goes from Good to Elite immediately!

    I like Polite though he may end up being too small. Is he another Vic Beasley or another Marquis Haynes?

    Montez Sweat does not really look like a good fit for the 3-4. He is tall, has tight hips and poor lateral movement.

    Raekwon going back for his senior year.


    Edge players not looking as good at they originally did. Better to fill that need in FA.

    Very few of those guys hit FA, but the pool is deep this offseason so we shall see

    Dee Ford might have ruined his chances to go back to KC after that loss Sunday

    Zadarius Smith is another one to look at. The Ravens likely cannot afford to keep him with the other OLB they have.

    Markus Golden could be good too. He struggled with the transition to 4-3 so the Cards unlikely to keep him.
