Underclassmen lead top draft-eligible pass-rushers
5 replies
Pass-rushers always rank high on NFL wish lists come draft season. The pickings were slim in 2008, which in my opinion led to some teams reaching for overrated talent such as Vernon Gholston (Jets, No. 6 overall) and Derrick Harvey (Jaguars, No. 8 overall). Depending on how many of the top underclassmen leave school early, there could be a much deeper crop of sack artists in next April's draft.
ESPN - Draft Buzz: Everette Brown and Brian Orakpo among top five pass-rushers
Looks like Mcshay has Everette Brown as the top rated rusher coming out and like him in a 3-4 defense as an OLB.

Brown depending on his workouts would be a real interesting prospect. The guy has the athleticism we would like at the position I believe and Ive seen out in space a few times and he didnt look that bad. Sign me up for Greg Hardy any day of the week.

McShay seems to have a bit of an issue with Hardy and his work ethic. Would be interesting to see what our head office thinks of him after they do their due diligence on him.

I think CK touched on the subject when you look at the fact that he is only 20 years old and has acted like it. I think he has turned the corner albeit not completely in making more mature decisions. This guy isnt a Pacman Jones or Chris Henry but he isnt an angel either.
BuckeyeKingNew MemberI'm intrigued with Brandon Williams. Whats the take on the red raider?

I don't know about the best pass rusher in the class but he is good. And he'll work in a 3-4 where he doesn't have to but up too much.
