Outside of Bryce we've pretty much been drafting on RAS during the Tepper era. It hasn't landed us many football players. If we showed up on Sundays and competed with Combine drills we might be able to win some games.

The thing is this draft in particular every player has question marks. Probably the safest pick would be Warren but there's a whole tread about that

Unless I remember this incorrectly, players that stand out at the senior bowl generally do really well in the NFL.

I posted this article in a couple threads, but I thought it might help some warm up to the idea of drafting Stewart with our first pick.

So Stewart played at a beefed up 290lb and lined up at 4i for Texas A&M this year. He pretty easily (one offseason) leaned up to 267lb for the combine. 
 

People obviously point to his lack of production, and it shouldn’t be ignored. But what would his stats look like if he had played at 270lb as a traditional 4-3 DE or a power rushing OLB this year? 
 

Plus, for a team as lacking on the defensive line as we are, I love Stewart’s versatility. He can operate as a strong side OLB on rushing downs and move in to DE on passing downs.

Wonnum and Clowney are both under contract one more year here. We need a plan, and I think we could do a lot worse than Stewart. 

Shemar is the real deal. Only 2 sacks last year but had a terrific 39 pressures and graded out elite vs the run.
