[QUOTE="speakhands, post: 818256, member: 9759"] It's obvious that we need edge rushing talent and it's widely speculated that we will use one of our first three picks on an edge rusher. So I wanted to make a thread devoted to comparing the talent in the upcoming draft. I am not nearly as knowledgeable as I am sure many of you are, so I would love to hear some opinions. Early on, my impressions are as follows, with rankings: 1. Nick Bosa - blue chip pure rusher who would probably most thrive as a 43DE; will be gone by our first pick 2. Josh Allen - explosive, versatile juggernaut; will almost certainly be gone by our first pick 3. Jachai Polite - blazing first step and decent hand usage; underwhelming production and playing time; stocky 4. Clelin Ferrell - productive power rusher, but benefited from a less attention by offenses 5. Brian Burns - fluid, bendy rusher in the make of Arden Key, but lacks desired bulk and hand usage 6. Montez Sweat - great size and speed, but seriously lack bend around the edge 7. Jaylon Ferguson - elite production and great leadership, but average speed and explosiveness 8. Oshane Ximines - plus instincts and production, but average bend and speed 9. D'Andre Walker - good versatility and burst; very rudimentary pass rush moves 10. Jalen Jelks - long-armed and agile, but seems stiff-hipped 11. Joe Jackson - great size and good speed; lacks pass rushing moves Other names to consider: Chase Winovich, Carl Granderson, Shareef Miller, Anthony Nelson What are everyone's thoughts? [/QUOTE]
