#120 - Dani Dennis Sutton - Edge - Penn St.

Ha..I got one right! Love the pick, even though he's a PSU player. 4th round! Great value! With Micah Parsons in his ear, he'll be fine.

Once he gets his first fine on roughing the passer, that'll stop.

It better be vs. the Bears.

That said, everyone loves this pick. I love this pick. I comp it to Zach Tom in the 4th. All he did was put up great tape and freaky athletic testing. Totally a 4th round picks. Every GM should be ashamed. As per the typical Gutes draft I like the back end a lot more than the top. I'll touch on that more in other threads, but in no way should the Dentist have lasted to our pick in the 3rd much less the 4th. Hell, based on production and athleticism he probably comps out like a Brian Burns who went in the first round a couple years back. I wanted Burns then, I'm thrilled with a guy who is a lot like him in the 4th now.

Well here is something to get overly excited about.

This pick is going to remind us of the Zach Tom pick where everyone is left asking "why weren't GMs high on this guy??" Production, twitchy, high motor. I'm seriously trying to find a flaw in the thesis. He is like the Micron of the NFL draft.

Dude, I am still hopeful you are also right about John "The Composer" Williams. If he could develop into a starting guard, Banks can go after this season if he's not up to snuff, or Belton can be moved to tackle so there is a backup option there.

Banks can’t go after this year anymore. We kicked his contract down the road to get more cap space. We could have cut him after 2026 will almost no cap hit. Not anymore,

obviously, of course we can cut him. It will just cost us a lot of cap room that we didn’t have to.

[Bretsky]

YA BANKS just made GUTEBAG is lil bitch. GuteBag got Kirk Counsin'd reallly really bad.

Can you believe we've paid that guy 45 Million and he's hardly played, and when he did he underperformed.

He needs to show up this year and be a leader cause we're stuck with him for at least two more years.

GUTE really F'cked up on the OL big time.

:Pray it turns out OK

[Bretsky]

I do really like this pick

Really really liked the Round 5 C/OG as well

I wasn't near as high on williams. I said he was a flyer to take that job and no way he should have lasted to 7th, but DDS actually could arguably be a first rounder in my book.

That said I'm sad wiliiams lost a year of development. Hopefully he has a good camp and competes. I loved his tape.

He has flaws, but I'm not sure why he fell to R4. I'm glad he did though. The Edge room needed a body, with Gary and Enagbare gone and Parsons out the first month of the season. He'll need to work on hand usage and doing better vs. the run, but he's super athletic and guys with traits at that level hit more often than not. Led the Big 10 in pressures this past year on a bad team, had more sacks in his college career than Gary or Enagbare did, and he's a better athlete than Enagbare. I think it's a really good pick.

Penn State does a terrible job of developing its players - there are a lot of players who come out of there and have better NFL careers. If DDS takes to Covington's coaching and Micah's mentoring he could be a Day 3 steal. If not, he's a more athletic Enagbare who can also give you some good special teams snaps (he had something like 2-3 blocked punts). When Micah comes off the PUP list it's trouble for either Mosby or Cox (or both).

I came here to rave up the Dentist, but saw this. Explain it to me please. Williams was really damn good in the preseason but Glover and Jennings got snaps ahead of him. We must have the dumbest OC/OL coaches of all time and shame on MiLF for listening to them. Williams missed all of last year essentially, but I would have like to have seen him play. Now that we likely line up Morgan, Tomlinson, Rhyan, Zeitler, Belton from here I doubt we see him without more.....I won't even say it.

[bobblehead]

As to the Dentist and my Burns comp. After several weeks I think its more accurate than ever. This guy is a player. I didn't see him blow containment as ThunderDan said, but I'm sure he probably did. He's a rookie and over exuberance can be expected. Gary never blew containment because he was too lazy to move off his spot (ok, I exaggerate, but a high motor is a necessity in my book).

[ThunderDan]

He blew containment twice. Both when the QB pulled the ball from the RB.

He was chasing down the line on those read options hard. It got him a short yardage stop near the goal line that I remember but there is always a counter to short cuts like that.

[run pMc]

DDS does bite on run fakes, but he's getting better at it. I love his motor, and his physical traits are really good. Five games in and he's got 1.5 sacks and is getting plenty of snaps which should only help his development. I'm still bullish on him.

[Fritz]

Bobble, I do think you're on to something with Williams. No one has talked about how Belton has played at RT the past two games (which I suppose is a good sign), but I feel pretty good having "The Composer" as the backup at both tackle spots.

As for The Dentist, what's not to like so far? So he blows containment? Better than blowing a dude in a public bathroom. He'll learn as he gains experience. But man, is he fast getting to the ball.

He's already better than Rashan Gary, and he's soon going to exceed my prediction that he'd be "Enagbare Plus."

I said you were most likely right. I just didn't see it.
