[B_doggman47]

We will rank the top 5 4-3 defensive ends and the top 5 3-4 Edge/OLB's. That way way we can show the best players in both systems. I hope y'all enjoy. Please list any players that y'all believe could help in both systems.

I think he just gave us an assignment. I think Elijah or the nerd draft thread may already have the info.

Ahhhh ok cool, I’ll give you my list in a little bit. This should be fun.

I have a couple of friends that work with me on this in their spare time. But I can use as much help from all of you guys as I can get.

The pass rusher out of Arkansas Landon Jackson is intriguing. Like the defensive end version of Jimmy Graham. Freak athlete with freak size.

I really like Jack Sawyer. Reminds me of a JJ Watt type with a relentless motor. Of course, Abdul Carter.

I just posted about him in the other thread. I’m a big fan. Will be a good strong side 4-3 DE

 

[Tulsa Saint]

Ashton Gilotte Louisville
David Walker Central Arkansas
Donovan Ezeieraku Boston College
Kyle Kennard South Carolina
JT Tuimoloau Ohio St
Antwan Powell-Ryland Va Tech

After the Senior Bowl, I was listening Moving the Chains and Pat Kirwin compared Landon Jackson b/c of his size/ability to Maxx Crosby. That's a nice comp.

Here are our first top five and we started with Edge/OLB first since we are switching to a 3-4.

1- Abdul Carter- (Edge/OLB) Penn State (6'3"/250#)
Just a note here on Carter, I believe he could work in both defensive systems.
2- James Pearce Jr- (Edge/OLB) Tennessee (6'5"/245#)
3- Mike Green- (Edge/OLB) Marshal (6'3"/251#)
4- Princely Umanmielen- (Edge/OLB) Ole Miss (6'4"/244#)
5- Josaiah Stewart- (Edge/OLB) Michigan (6'1"/249#)

Our sleeper pick is:
Bradyn Swinson- (Edge/OLB) LSU (6'4"/249#)

I watched most of these guys do their combine workouts and they just blew it up and knocked it out of the park. The only one I didn't see was Abdul Carter.

I agree with this list except I’d put boston college donovan ezeiruaku at 4, bump princely down to 5.

I'll have to really devote some time tomorrow and Monday to watching his games and what tape I can find on him. Then see if he fits anywhere on the list. I may have to do 6 instead of 5. But thanks for the heads up on this guy. I'm looking through a bunch of other Edge/OLB's that are real good that they would end up in a top ten. They just totally blew me away last Thursday at the combine.

This edge class is insanely deep

Sorry its taken me so long to get back to y'all on this top ten. I have been under the weather with an upper respiratory infection. It set me back for about 6-7 days. But I'm feeling a lot better and I'm getting back to work on this.
