He definitely helped himself.
He had an excellent combine.

Not saying I want us to go DE, but if we did and we grabbed him you wouldn’t hear me complain. He’s pretty complete.

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

To me, he’s the 4th best pass catcher in the draft even with being a TE

I don't think anyone would disagree with this take tbh.

I have him as #2 haha

Verse is nice man, everything you want from a DE. Strong, explosive,quick, array of pass rush moves. He’s the real deal.

Verse is nice but Latu is still EDGE1 for me by quite a bit too.

Over the past TWO years Latu has a 27% pass rush win rate (by far highest in the class) and true pass rush grade of 94 by PFF. By FAR in a league of his own. That's 99th percentile which includes past prospects in the NFL.

His wins above replacement average is .51. That is absolutely INSANE and again in a complete league of his own.

Don't fall in love with the underwear olympics. Combine should only be used to match the film.

Lot's of mocks have Latu still there at 14 with Turner and maybe Verse gone. I just wonder if he has a career like Derek Barnett (14th overall). He was also prospect without standout measurables who was the most technically proficient in his class.

Honestly Latu had a good combine, 6’5” 265 and had what - 4.65? Plenty speed, size, and a seasoned vet when it comes to pass rush moves.

I don't see the Trey H comparisons at all. Trey wins off speed whereas Latu wins with his hands/pass rush moves.

He's tested much better than expect today and as long as he clears medically should be a lock for the top 20 and is my edge1 by far.

I dont see the the Trey H comp either, but that seems to be a popular comp in the draft community for Latu. In my opinion, Latu is very, VERY, similar to Maxx Crosby when he was coming into the league from EMU. The difference is Latu is a more polished & technically sound pass rusher entering the pros w/a lot more tools & rush moves. Body type is also similar. Here’s some of Crosby’s EMU tape. Compare that w/Latu’s tape from UCLA. I even see a hints of old school Jason Taylor in Latu’s game. I hope he’s our guy at 14. After all these misses at EDGE, i think we’d finally get it right w/Latu.

Day 3 RB - QB - WR

Seems the crowd is bigger today

I think the medical evaluation is the big test for Latu. He may only play 5 of 6 season because of past injuries be pending on how he has healed

Glad to see the running backs getting back to the 4.3 and 4.4 40’s. While there we had a couple slower classes.

There are a few RBs in this draft that would be nice additions to the RB room. AK, Miller and Wright/Ray Davis/Isaiah Davis/Guerendo/Benson and a few others would be nice. Those guys with the speed/power combo who fit the zone schemed. Tracy looked smooth catching the ball as he should being a converted WR.

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

I like Jacob cowing wr arizona.
Looking forward to his times

My guy ran a 4.38

 

[Snakehead]

Ladd McConkey, Adoni Mitchell and Keon Coleman all helped themselves today. There are some WRs in this draft.

All depends on the medicals.
