LETS GOOOO MY DREAM SIGNING

Haven’t gotten to his tape yet, what are some key things you like about Mason Taylor? All I know is he is Jason Taylor’s son.

Yeah, traditional media is going to pump him up heavily. Media tends to be overly reactionary, NFL front offices already knew how freaky of an athlete Shemar was. Same situation of elite traits and poor production will carry his draft conversation. All it takes is one team to fall in love with the potential, Travon Walker went 1st overall off his traits. If there is one position I value traits more then others it is DE, to survive in the NFL you need a blend of length, size, explosiveness and bend which is Shemar to a tee. People will ding him for his production which is valid, but give me Shemar over a production merchant in college football who has little to no NFL traits and can’t survive. Plus at the very worst Shemar is already a great run defender.

Great post, Shemar is definitely a player I think our front office is going to scout and consider heavily. If we could trade back to the 14-18 range and add a few picks in the draft I would be pumped.

Very true, it can be very confusing to convert someone who runs a traditional 4-3 role to 3-4, take a player like Shemar Stewart in this draft in college he was listed at 281-290 lb in college. Now he comes into the combine at 267 lbs, he went from 3-4 base DE size to more 3-4 OLB size. I’m not totally sure where to project him for us, but I totally agree 4-2-5 has been becoming increasingly popular. I wish we would run more Cover-1, Evero having our corners 10 yards off the WR and watching screen plays and short passes shred all all season is just dumb. Especially with Jaycee being an ideal press coverage guy, I wish Evero would adjust the defense to his players skillsets and not force them into his.

I hear you brother thank you, I should have specified more. Personally, I miss when we used to run a 4-3, especially with the run game returning in the past few years.

Not sure what you mean? Every defensive personnel lineup requires at least two DTS not even counting depth or additional DTS for different packages.

Let’s talk about it, what’s your reasoning?
