Which DE is worth a shot in this years draft

I'm not a draft guru and do not follow the pre-draft  speculation closely. Wirh Ealy gone, that leaves Addison, Johnson, Peppers, and Horton. Add Delaire to the mix I guess, and that's the DE group.

What do those who follow this stuff feel they can get with one of their many picks who is worth a damn. Johnson is older and injury prone, Peppers going on 37. Horton not a pass rusher and Delaire is a jag. Addison is the guy on the rise. What can we expect DG to do in the draft to infuse the spot with new talent.

I feel like I've posted this in every thread but my opinion is Taco Charleton. While I do believe Solomon Thomas is going to be a good player as well, Charleton just has that prototype DE size and athletic ability Gettleman covets

Yeah Charleton has the frame of a JPP,  Ziggy Ansah, or Chandler Jones. I don't want him but he is a true 4-3 DE

There is Myles Garrett and then there is a mile and a half distance to the next set of DE's.  Whether Solomon or Barnette, I am not crazy about either at 8.  If Fornette, Admas and Hooker are gone, I'd love to drop back to 12 w Cleveland, picking up an early 3rd.

at 12,  Solomon or Barnette, OJ Howard or a WR would all represent good value

Taco doesn't have just the prototype size. The guy can flat out play. I've watched plenty of Michigan games, the guy is straight dominant against top flight competition. He's an absolute force. Again this doesn't mean Solomon Thomas is trash, he has a serious motor and can certainly get after the QB. I would be more than excited to get any one of these guys, with Barnett being behind both of them.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
