Bill from NYC Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 On 1/17/2016 at 2:25 AM, HoF Watkins said: We just went through a season where what was considered a strength of the team, was neutralized by quick passing games (and I just watched Brady neutralize the Chiefs vaunted D-line the same way). And the Wrex philosophy apparently uses big fat guys on the line, just holding ground (or covering receivers) so the LB's can make plays.The defense was neutralized by Rex, and that word would be a compliment. Quick passing games are not brand new. Rex started the destruction of this defense. His brother will probably help complete the mission. Going from 52 to what was it, 21 sacks is not idling in neutral. It's going in reverse or perhaps falling off a cliff.

YoloinOhio Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft at @movethesticks has the Bills taking DT Jarran Reed from Alabama at No. 19.
YoloinOhio Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 @christrapasso Finished studying 'Bama DL A'Shawn Robinson. I'll say this... teams thinking about drafting him in Round 1: stay away.

YoloinOhio Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Anyone watch a lot of Lousville this year? Sheldon Rankins looks like a good prospect. Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 4m4 minutes ago LVille's Sheldon Rankins: best DT Ive watched so far. Athletic/super active/pass-rushing moves (great spin) & sheds v run. Complete prospect Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 5m5 minutes ago Rankins is pure DT. Nkemdiche, Buckner & A'Shawn could/should play (3-4) DE. But there's much more refinement in Rankins' game. Vital for DL Edited January 20, 2016 by YoloinOhio

Vital for DL I like Buckner and Rankins a lot. Nkemdiche has great talent, but not that great production. And I am not sold on A'Shawn. We can't miss on round 1. We need a starter that we can count on. Buckner and Rankins could be that. I am not so sure about the later two
Coach Tuesday Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Rankins looks good in those clips - but round 1? His measurables aren't ideal, and he doesn't look to have the explosion or athleticism of Aaron Donald. I'm not sure...

gonzo1105 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 The more I watch of Kevin Dodd DE Clemson, the more I like him. He is a headsy player who has great play recognition. He does a pretty good job of setting the edge in the run game and he is pretty explosive getting after the passer. He also has incredibly long arms and has experience with his hand in the dirt and standing up. His downsides are he only has one year of PT at the college level and doesn't have much experience dropping into coverage. Kind of reminds me of Terrell Suggs

chris heff Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 In a 3-4 can Dareus and Kyle play D end? Because if they can do you find a big space eating nose tackle?

That's a good thing for us...maybe Doug should trade up! A trade down would be better with all of the available defensive talent. Whaley is pretty good at getting value out of his picks, sometimes insanely productive players that we didn't even know existed.

We're talking D-lineman, you know, the unit of the defense that was expected to be a strength, but ended up ineffectual in Wrex's scheme. Why give him more, when he couldn't even use what he had? Why draft a guy in the 1st to rush the passer, when Wrex wants guys to occupy blockers, so LB's can make plays? I think any mid-round fat guy will do just fine at NT, taking up space. And maybe bring in another veteran free agent at DE. Edited January 27, 2016 by HoF Watkins
