Bob McGinn’s 8th-ranked EDGE:

 

Played five games at LSU in 2021 before starting 31 of 37 games for the Razorbacks from 2022-’24. “Tough guy, brings energy,” one scout said. “Not that athletic for an edge. Little bit upright and rigid. At the point of attack he’s too high. Doesn’t have that leverage, but he fights. If he can get his long arms on you he has a chance. Angle blocks get him just because of the body frame. As a rusher, he uses his hands really well but just isn’t explosive getting around the edges. Big, tough, smart. There’s a role for him. He’ll never be a star or a top talent, but the type guy that will make other people around him look better.” His vertical jump of 40 ½ led the edges. Arms were 33 ¼, hands were 10. “He’ll be a functional starter,” said a second scout. “Not a bad bender. Good strength. Uses his hands and length really well. Stiff in change of direction. Just average speed. Sometimes it looks like he’s running in place. Hands and feet don’t always work together. Just more of an effort guy as a pass rusher. Better against the run. He’s a big base left defensive end.” Finished with 116 tackles (28 for loss), 16 sacks and five passes defensed. Dominated Alabama A&M tackle Carson Vinson in the Senior Bowl game. “He’ll check off every box as a human being and the measurables,” a third scout said. “He’s sort of stiff, but with his numbers he might go first round. You’re getting a tightly-wound defensive end who plays hard and can cover some ground.” Four-star recruit from Texarkana, Texas.

So we have a pocket collapsing DE who isn't bendy but can play the run and a "pass rushing" DT who probably isn't going to help greatly with our run stopping but might collect 2 to 4 sacks in our rotation?  Someone tell me why I'm wrong because no joke I hope I'm completely wrong.  We just drafted a second set of Rousseau and Oliver (ceiling) or AJ and Carter 2.0 (floor).

Really like what we are doing on defense in this draft.  Big upgrades in athleticism.

Ya it's pretty cool.

In FA as well we upgraded the DL and DBs , sucks about the 2 suspensions but might be a blessing in disguise giving the rookies some pt early on..

Can pretty much go BPA from here

Love this pick.

 

The guy can wreck plays but you don’t really know how he did it.  Just a big, powerful dude coming downhill. 
 

Gives us bookend freak size off the EDGE with Rousseau.

Every write up on sanders I’ve seen is he’s a beast against the run lol I’m still so confused by the narrative here
