Edmunds, Jackson, Fitzpatrick, Chubb... I'd be good with any of 'em.

9 sacks in 2016 while playing limited snaps... tore his ACL/MCL last year in the pre-season. I don't expect Washington to bring him back and I like the upside in signing him to a fairly cheap deal.Atkins&Rebel wrote:I looked up what was available on Trent Murphy while doing my free agent mock on spotrac.

Then in sub I'd have both Floyd and Edmunds rushing the passer.
I'd rate him as slightly above average before his injury last year

Is he that much better than Houston? I wouldn't say no at the right price but his 2016 performance of 9 sacks of 60% of snaps isn't that much better than Houston this year with 5 sacks from 36% of snaps or 2015 with 8 from 40%.
Houston also makes more tackles and is better in the run game. He's 3 years older but I genuinely think he's well poised to step up as a later career cameo player.

I'm focused mostly on youth, price, and upside.

Edge isn't one of the positions I'm massively concerned about youth in. Only 10 3-4 OLBs played 75%+ snaps this year. Of those 10 a couple weren't all that (Jabaal Sheard, Bud Dupree) and a couple were 31 or older (Orakpo and Suggs).G08 wrote:I'm focused mostly on youth, price, and upside.
Only 24 players played 50% or more.
This is why I'd love to see both Houston and McPhee back on cheap deals and draft a kid with speed. Rather than have passing down specialists we'd have a couple of guys who are great against the run on early downs but can still get into the backfield. This is a good time to buy low and then we manage their snaps.
It won't happen but a boy can dream!

Who do you like at #8? I think Joshua Jackson or Denzel Ward are good options if you don't want to go EDGE. I think Nelson won't fall.

If we go edge, hoping for Harold Landry. No one talks about him, but he's an excellent pass rusher and is decent against the run at 6'3 250.

I've watched Edmunds tape, and I just don't see it. Show me something to convince me otherwise. The guy neglects his assignments constantly, he rarely rushed the passer, and he stood still a lot.
He's got the measurables, but at 8? Or anywhere in the 1st? No thanks

He's got a lot of good tape, a few plays each game that just says bleh, and 1-2 plays a game where he just misses his assignment. He's got the measurables, and he's going to be one of the youngest prospects to get drafted in a few years. That tells me that things aren't at the stage where he is pure instint yet and still thinks about what he's seeing some times instead of knowing. That will come by being in the film room more and being able to trust the guys around him to do their job so he can concentrate on his own.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

I think he's a top 10 pick. I don't see Pace trading back in the draft.

Cblaz, the athleticism and ridiculous range doesn't jump off the tape at you? That alone made me stop and rub my eyes. Then I look for things like how he is able to get from one hash to the sideline and up the field to cover a RB running a wheel route, or how he lines up in the slot to cover a WR and winds up breaking on a pass that he could have picked off.McCblaz wrote:I've watched Edmunds tape, and I just don't see it.

He's a solid blitzer from the ILB position and he's got the bend and length I want in an OLB/EDGE rusher. This kid is a stud in that regard, but he IS a 19 year old ball of clay. I'd have zero issues -- none -- handing that over to Vic Fangio and telling him to make this kid a star.
