If Solomon Thomas is gone and Derek Barnett is available and we pass on him for Taco or Tim, I might go postal. Who the F cares what his combine numbers were...look at what he did at Tennessee! And it isn't like TN is loaded with defensive talent and he was seeing one on ones all the time...

I doubt we pass on Barnett for Taco. The Taco talk is in case Barnett isnt there....

Better talent than you're giving them credit for. They've recruited well. Barnett got plenty of one-on-one reps. I think Barnett is going to take some time to adjust to the NFL. Needs to develope some more pass rush moves, he relies on the speed rush too often and that's not going to work at the next level. Same can be said for Taco, but they're both high ceiling guys that aren't going to light it up right away. Williams isn't even an option at 12, he'll go at the back end of the first


Also not sure how you can say screw the combine look at the tape and prefer Thomas to Barnett. Thomas had 12 career sacks and Barnett had like 30. I think you've gotten too caught up in the ever changing mocks you're looking at as to who you value more tbh.

Funny to me how these guys can play their entire college careers, people form their opinions based on play, and then in the 3 months leading up to the draft people change their minds on who they think is better at football based on who the mocks have as the flavor of the week and what these guys do in spandex

I actually prefer Barnett as my No 1 DE but I figured I'd get ridiculed if I said that.

Barnett was put in alot of favorable matches. The DC moved him around alot.

I don't think there's any hope of Thomas at this point. Allen's shoulders are becoming a major concern and even then, Thomas is better in some eyes.
