Ossai used to be lighter, but he' bulked up 10 lbs. and arguably lost a step. I'm afraid we're going to end up with Sawyer or Tuimoloau despite not getting pressure.  Sacks+Pressures per pass rush snap is why I still like Pierce and think Overton >> Scourton, but also see a lot of value in Kennard, Rucker, Stewart, and Powell-Ryland.

James Pearce is someone they will likely consider in the teens. He is 6'5 245 but you can definitely see him adding 10lbs easily. He doesn't have much of a power profile but he is explosive, gumby movement skills, and can and will use his hands to win. He has like 6+ pressures in his last 6 games or something crazy like that. Gonna hear alotta Brian Burns comps for Pearce.
