This isn't an OSU homer thing. IMHO, our biggest missing piece of the puzzle has been a LB that can cover TEs and RBs out of the backfield (Vigil, maybe Dawson...check) and a RDE that can generate pressure with the best of them. I love MJ but he simply doesn't generate that kind of pressure, although to be fair he played injured all of last year.
Bosa rotating with MJ on early downs and kicking inside on third and long was a dream to me for this defense.
Maybe he falls all the way to #32 next year, although I doubt it. He will end up signing very soon.
I know this, he doesn't need the money this year. He comes from a lot of money. Too bad he missed his window for a trade, but now this pissing match would only get him to re-enter next year's draft and he could end up somewhere he has even less interest in playing.
I agree with this 100 percent in all aspect and on a third and long im drooling at a front 7 of dunlap, atkins, billings, bosa, burfict, vigil, and rey... I think he could drop to 12-18 at which point we could trade a couple comp picks and/ or mccarron to move up and get him he could fall even farther after being out of football for a year and bengals would be perfect not jjst for the defensive scheme but also after the san deigo fiasco he wants someone he can trust and we take care of our own.
