Many would argue that our most pressing "needs" for this football team would not include a pass rusher and I may be inclined to agree with them. However, at this point it doesn't appear that there is a QB or WR that would make sense at the #8 overall pick. Also, I'm not convinced that any Middle Linebacker presents as much value a potential elite pass rusher. From what I've seen and read, there are four pass rushers in this years draft that in most years would either be the #1 or #2 top pass rushers in those given drafts.
I believe that Mario is a good pass rusher, but from my view certainly not elite, so it's important that we get another guy to compliment him. With a new Defensive Coordinator it's hard to say what defensive scheme we will have in place, but my guess is that we will be implementing a "tweener" somewhere in the scheme, and I'm not convinced that either Anderson or Moore can be that guy.
Here is a list of four guys that I believe could be immediate impact pass rushers next year.
1) Bjoern Werner
6'4 256 lbs. He's one of those maniacs with good combo of size and speed. Sort of like a JJ Watt or Kevin Greene kinda player.
2) Jarvis Jones
6'2 242
Probably the most versatile of the LB's, can drop back into coverage, defend well against the run and is a phenomenal pass rusher.
Barkevious Mingo
6'4 240
Is the most athletic out of the bunch, runs in the mid 4.5's with tremendous explosion
Damontre Moore
6'4 250
Another guy that has a good combo of speed and power with great production throughout his collegiate career.
