McShay says the pick at #22 is...

[K Train]

Thank you. Good info. Would you consider Owa Odi as more of a sure thing? He seems perfect fit for the "elephant"

Probably safer...lower ceiling, higher floor.

Odighizuwa is so unique in that he can play 34 OLB and beat the **** out of a TE if his side is strong, or he could blow through or past an OT is his side is weak. He could play DE in a 43, and he can play DE in a 34.

People who say he cant rush the passer are wrong, but he was (mostly) playing a 34 DE at UCLA...highly unique given his size but his strength and ability to play low with great leverage is what made it work there. He is such a violent player and while he mostly played 5 tech (which accounts for low sack numbers) he did play 7 tech in a 4 man front and he played the justin tuck (giants) role on the inside of the dline as well, and stood up and played some OLB (they run a very inconsistent scheme)

Dont want him wandering around in space too much, but you do send him after the QB with confidence. Hes very explosive even if he doesnt look it all the time (hes so big he can look a bit slower tha he really is)

OO...just smells like a Raven. I assume we will pass on OO for a soft fast player.

lol what soft player have they taken over a super tough one?

Odighiziwa or Peters on the ravens would devastate me

[Snatch98]

Has Jones been playing for three years already? It barely seems like two...

Lost his sophmore season to injury. Heading into year three now. I don't understand why people make comments like that about Jones. We havent been "waiting" for him to do anything but have a healthy season. People act like the guy is stunted for some other reason than being injured and being a rookie.

Shazier over Mosley.

Exactly, the arrow is pointing up...I seen the flashes I wanted to see. I suspect he really steps up in a big way this season.

Agree 100%. OO to the Ravens would make me sick. Especially if we passed on him for a project pick.

[Slapstick]

Shazier over Mosley.

He said "soft" player. Shazier may be fast, but that doesn't make him soft.

No but being unable to sort through trash or lock horns with OLmen does.

Before he got hurt he certainly had no trouble racking up the tackles. You can't teach speed.

[K Train]

Mosely was the one with the injury concerns coming out....and he doesnt "lock horns" hes good in traffic.

Did you see Mosely "lock horns" with pouncey this year? No you did not, he was put on the ground and treated badly

[Shoe]

I think Dupree is vastly over rated. I hope we don't pick him. Looks awkward rushing the passer. Stiff.

Dupree is a bust waiting to happen. I think the leading (reasonable) contender is Kevin Johnson.

Not really, it just means he has to find a different way to get it done on the field. I don't think Shazier is soft at all, he is willing to put a lick on you. I think he understands what he does best and what he doesn't do well and works around those parameters. I believe he will be the leader of this defense or one of the leaders of this defense in the future.

I'm not feeling Kevin Johnson. I'd rather take a shot on Dupree, who is admittedly a boom or bust guy, than take Kevin Johnson, who still has bust potential but with a lower ceiling.

[K Train]

Kevin Johnson has played well his whole career and his agility is insanely good which is excellent to translate to CB...but until i see a wake forest player pan out this decade I remain cautious.
