That can't be good weight, but then his on field drills were OK. I am hoping 20+ pounds is a high guesstimate.

I've actually moved Burns ahead of Polite... his ceiling might be higher.

Based on play, it's Polite; but, Burns did enough, and he'll likely grow into his frame.

That first one is a wet dream. Sweat slides to 12 and Hockenson to 30....right. I'll buy my futures ticket on winning the Owl if it plays like that.

I like Burns above Sweat and Polite.

i watched a couple "vs" vids of rashan Gary because i've seen him mocked to us in a couple of places

talk about a guy that looks like a JAG, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him

he sure has hell doesn't play like a guy that can run a 4.58

he doesn't show much strength fora guy that weighs 277

and worst of all, he gave up on a ton of plays way too early when he was within 5 yards of the ball

he's a solid "no" from me

I feel like Gary has "bust" written all over him. Therefore, he'll probably end up being 10 time pro-bowler, 5 time all-pro.

Ferrell that good, huh?

[RashanGary]

Ferrell doesn’t look like a 3-4 player.

Ferrell doesn’t look like a 3-4 player.

I like Ferrell... would prefer a pure edge guy though I suppose. Don't think Ferrell can stand up. He's very productive though, and a good all around player.

What % of the time are we even in base 3-4 anyway?? The league has changed so much over the past 6-8 years that 6 man fronts of whatever makeup are more common than 7 man fronts.

I think Ferrell could be very productive in Pettines system.

Ferrell is an elite talent IMO

I think he can excel in any system

In reality, only Polite truly looks like a 3-4 OLB. The rest of them are usually in a 3 point stance 70% of the time. They all rush better out of a 3 point stance.

Gary is a 4-3 end, and he is super talented, I don't think he is a super motivated kid. A lot of folks think that Football has been a means to an end for him, that might not be fair to him but that is what the film tells me.

Don't draft Rashan Gary, please. Just say no. I have seen the guy play. It's not that impressive.

But I don't watch the tape like you guys, so my opinions of the others you're discussing are based mostly on what you all write. If that Ferrell is the monster you say he is, he sure seems like he'd be a great pick. Or, if Wist is right, White would be great. Though the Detroit papers all have the Lions as heavily interested in White at #8.

Day 6

Jalen Jelks DE, Oregon
Films, Arizona,

First Take: Jelks is a project. He just doesn't look comfortable as a 3-4 end or as an outside linebacker in the Ducks 3-4 scheme. As a pass rusher he has a very mediocre first step, his hands fail him more than help him and he never gets the offensive lineman off balance regardless of his pass rush. Jelks looks skinny and a bit weak. He struggles to hold the point of attack and get off blocks to make plays. He will probably get drafted a little higher than he should since after the first 5 pass rushers are gone it seems the second and third tier guys are pretty average.

I don't think Ferrell or White will be there at 12. I do like Devin Bush with the late pick in the first round, or possibly the second round pick. I don't see a dramatic drop off from White to Bush

Day 6

Austin Bryant Edge, Clemson
Film: Duke, Boston College

First Take: Clemson defensive linemen are very well coached. Bryant looks the part but in reality he is a step slow, slow to react, and what the urban dictionary would call a "Basic Bitch". He doesn't hurt you, he is solid at the point of attack and holds ground, but Bryant just seems like a step or two slow, and not just with his feet, but with his hand placement, and his reading of blocks. I really want to like him, but my eyes kept drifting off to Ferrell on the other side. He looks like a Nick Perry clone in a Clemson Jersey. There isn't really anything dynamic to say about him. He has a good motor and goes out there to compete and give it everything he has but he is just basic, bro.
