Marty Hurney Apparently Lied About Fletcher Cox

If they pick Cox, then they are admitting that Rivera and Hurney blew it with McClain last year. You don't draft a guy at the 65th pick in the draft and then redraft another the next year unless you have a situation like we did with Clausen. Even then Newton was the number 1 pick in the draft and had huge upside. Cox really doesn't. Now if we had a chance to draft a Suh which is the DT version of Newton, then you do it in a heartbeat. I can't see where Cox provides so much more than a guy we can get in the second round. It we want pass rush both Ingram and Coples bring more to the table by far. At least with Williams and Stewart they waiting 2 years.

Cox had 5 sacks last year and 4 of those were in 2 games. (South Carolina and Kentucky) and 1 against Wake Forest. The other 9 games he had none. Add that he had a total of 3 quarterback hurries and you see a guy who pressured or got to the quarterback a total of 8 times in 12 games. Hardly the terrific pass rusher people are making him out to be.

Funny that Coples had 7.5 sacks and he is considered lazy and unmotivated but Cox has 5 and he has a high motor and never quits.

When you look at all our choices you get the sense that there is not that much to choose from really. Ingram brings the most to the table and by many accounts will be gone when we pick at 9.

It's cool that you don't like Cox as our top pick and all, but at least support it with factual information. C'mon man, I don't know where you pulled this statistic from, but I counted 30 QB pressures in just 3 games I looked at.. the guy probably had 80 QB pressures on the year.

The choices may be there but are not obvious to me.There is just not that dominate pass rusher in this years draft that is a 3 down player.No Von Miller in this years draft

Panther55 ..i should've said instead of dt maybe de. I guess it all depends on the type defense we will run. We still have Edwards and Mclain/Fua and Keiser. All are still looking to make an impact on the team. Hogan is our #2, is it good to have one more with falcons and bucs doubling down on their recievers? I think so. I look at our first two picks as starting def picks. But i have no insider knowledge or "sources", strictly opinion.
