- Darrisaw
As such, I would personally look at a DE in the 11-20 range, but not sooner.
And honestly, I'm not sure I have Paye above Rousseau.
Rousseau had 15.5 sacks and 19.5 TFLs in 14 games.
Paye has just 11.5 sacks and 23.5 TFLs in double the amount of games.
I'd take the gamble on Rousseau before Paye. Rousseau is also younger than Paye, so I think Rousseau has the higher ceiling.
Rousseau has the highest ceiling in the draft; but he also has the lowest floor.
Each year we (the forum) get into this BPA vs. Need debate.
We can go ahead and eliminate the QBs from your list.
We don't "need" a starting WR and personally think Chase is the 2nd best WR in this draft. I have Smith going before our pick.
Pitts is a stud but how we use a TE I think someone like McKitty (hey i just realized I mocked a Kwity and a Kitty) offers better value
We do need CB but we do have Waynes and Phillips returning and I think we'll re-sign WJIII or Mack, so it can wait
We do need a OT but I have Penei gone
We damn sure need a pass rusher/DE and Kwity has it all. Keep in mind a perfect comp is Ziggy Ansah and he only had 4.5 sacks his entire college career and had 8 in his rookie NFL season
It's also known I give a little bit of a boost to players that actually put on the pads this year.
