is he worth a pick up?

What DE on our roster would you cut to make room for him?  I can't name one.

Well after CJ, Addison, Pep, I can't name one I wouldn't do that for

You would cut Hall?

 

i sure as hell wouldnt. He has a ton of potential. Might not do much this year but i feel a CJ type of projection for him as far as getting better and better each year

See I forgot all about Hall. No, I wouldn't

He's too small to play outside 4-3 DE, yeah?  I don't think I've really watched him since he was at Louisville.  I def wouldn't cut anybody on defense for him, but I would give him a shot since Delaire was cut.  Why not?

Damn, people, Marty just swept Delaire outta here, and now you want to bring in a legitimate bust? Thanks, but no thanks.

Maybe Horton, as he always seems to survive waivers in the need he needs to return, 6'3 250 ish as a rotational speed rusher, I'd like to see how he looks, or even cut one of our 20 receivers on this camp roster, it doesn't necessarily have to be a DE to get into camp as far as making room. 

Peppers, Addison, Johnson, Hall are the locks essentially, and we've got a 5th spot up for grabs potentially. 

[Ricky Spanish]

Nah, he isn't that good. wait to draft a good DE in the early rounds next offseason.

[Ivan The Awesome]

6'3 250, sounds like a line backer to me. He's not big enough to play DE here. 

 

Also our lb Corp is pretty full, so I don't see who you'd cut to make room for him. 

[PantherWake]

Rather have the DEs we already have. He's garbage

Wes Horton

I dunno.  Horton has been in 18 games in the past two years, and has 18 tackles with 3.5 sacks and a pass defensed in a reserve role.  Smith has started in 29 games the past two years and has 23 tackles and 4 sacks.  Horton is only 27, and is bigger than Smith too.

If Smith hadn't been a first round pick, he probably would have been cut last year.  Horton is our worst DE, but I'm not sold that Smith would be any improvement over him at all, and may not be as good in rotation.
