[Merged] Saints Select Clemson DT Bryan Bresee (4 Viewers)

Gayle looked very disinterested.

Well apparently Atlanta has already won the division....so......

 

[NatureBoy]

Can he coach?

I kid.

Love the kid but not sure about the player. It's hard not to feel for him and his family. Cancer sucks. I planned to quietly root for him if he went elsewhere, I'll be all invested now.

I'd have probably taken Porter, but what do I know?

 

[Snakehead]

Some of my favorite mocks I went with Bresee at 29 and Washington at 40.

They picked the most injury plagued player in the draft. Figures. I guess Payton Turner has a friend now.

Im worried about drafting another injury prone DLineman.

Hopefully he can come back to his prior ACL tear days.

 

[Analyze This]

Fits our profile: Often injured DL with a repaired ACL.

 

[St.Fury]

with the 29th pick in the first round.

Not only did we fill a need, we filled what is arguably our biggest need.

 

[SaintPancake]

Bro.... Would you buy a car with flat tires ?

We could’ve traded 40 and a future high pick to move up for Bresee, while Mayer and Porter were still there.

I’m holding out hope we move up from 40 to get one of those two that we left on the board.

Who’s to say they didn’t try?

Who’s to say any of what you laid out is true? Not trying to be confrontational- it’s just that we always see these hypotheticals in response to picks. “We could have traded back and still gotten that guy…”. “He would have been available in a later round!” Etc…

How do we know that Loomis didn’t burn up the phones to do just that?!?

We don’t know and we likely won’t know.

Sometimes you can’t find a trade partner no matter how hard you try.

I had doubts too, but this is encouraging.

Bresee is a Jalen Carter level talent that had a rough college career but was still the best talent on that Clemson team.

Yall worried about injuries. He had an ACL. The rest were a kidney infection and a death in the family. Those aren't injury concerns.

Bresee (6’5/298) has a monstrous frame, especially when compared to the rest of his interior defensive linemen prospects, where he is second-tallest. He uses this length to effectively keep blockers at arm’s length as he comes out of his stance square to the line. He tends to lean on his body and play leverage to win plays, as his hand leverage is often just a function of his length. With additional refinement, he can become a pocket-pushing pass rusher whether it’s from bulking up and playing the 1-Tech or a power 3-Tech. As of now, he is a plus run defender who can control two gaps from multiple alignments. There are also some concerns about injuries that ended his sophomore season at Clemson early and caused him to miss games his junior year, as well. Nevertheless, defensive tackles with Bresee’s length and a RAS of 9.07 are rare. Former No. 1 overall recruits, as Bresee was in 2020, at the position that racked up nine sacks and five passes defended at that size and pedigree are even rarer.

 

[Filaphill]

Too injury prone I don’t see him playing the first half of the season. Other than that good player.

 

[MSUSousaphone]

DTs tend to take longer than any other position to mature into their prime. Even 1st rounders. I look forward to this kid turning into a great player but dread the inevitable flood of posts asking why he's not blowing people up his rookie season.
