Sharpening the Edges

[GatorAZ]

Early EDGE prediction:

2. Cleveland - Abdul Carter
9. New Orleans - James Pierce Jr
12. Dallas - Mike Green
15. Atlanta - Mykel Williams
16. Arizona - Shemar Stewart (sorry Stout)
17. Cincy - Jalon Walker
.
If it comes down to DE Stewart vs DE/LB Walker vs DT Nolen I’m going with the physical anomaly in Stewart. Will be a 21 year old rookie to start the season. The lack of production pops out but it’s not like we’re not picking top-10 and the physical upside is too salivating. @Ouchie-Z-Clown pointed out he’s slimmer which is true but he wore his playing weight & Sr Bowl weight pretty well before the combine.

Picking Stewart is incredibly risky, and a risk I doubt Monti will take. His production based on his measurables is laughable.

Or Monti could be looking at it like he’d be a top-5 pick next year if he returned to A&M. Again we’re talking about him likely being the 5th+ edge off the board.

Top 5 picks match productivity and measurables. Having 1.5 sacks every year for 3 years shows consistency, but not the consistency anyone wants. Garrett had similar measurables and averaged almost 11 sacks per year. If he's so talented, why can't he get to the QB in college?

Someone will surely talk themselves into Stewart for the obvious reasons, but I personally don't like taking the risk.

With those choices our defense would be better served by getting Nolen and adding an edge in round 2

Or trading back.

Donovan Ezeiruaku needs to get talked about being in play for #16

You might have already seen this but 6.94 3 cone.

Or trading back.

I think trading back could be an easy way to be at the wrong end of a run.

Most reassuring aspect of Campbell’s hybrid status is that Alabama did it to get him on the field with Turner and Campbell.

the ITS EARLY take on edge in the draft at #16

the YES! group:

Jalon Walker, GA
James Pearce, TEN
Mike Green, Marshall

the "I sure hope Monti sees something I dont" group at 16:

Mykel Williams, GA
Shemar Stewart, TX AM

Anybody else get the feeling Monti would pass on Mike green and pierce because they are concerned about character issues? Not saying he should pass on them…I could see the panthers bringing pierce home and the falcons take green anyway….if I had to guess right now I would say the pick at 16 is mykell Williams …Stewart or Nolan…

If it goes that way, there is likely an outstanding offensive tackle or defensive lineman on the board.

I watched several videos of Stewart and was not impressed. Grated, I don’t know what his role was but even when he got to the QB, he doesn’t make the sack. I’d rather go OL or DT.

I was stating it as a compliment. Alabama chose to play him at ILB rather than keep him behind Turner and Anderson at EDGE. Wanted their best players on the field.

Oh, I know you were. It wasn’t a diss.

That reply was more so that I’m pretty sure we’re both intrigued at drafting Jihaad & seeing how special he might be.

I love that you get me.

Big thumbs down on Stewart for lack of productivity and WGAF about the combine? Nolen all day, every day.
