High probability we get neither Pagano nor Crayton. We want Pagano but not Crayton at this point. I like Pagano more but would be happy with Crayton. We'll likely watch a few DTs as the year goes on and if one jumps out, maybe we snatch one up.


I see many have your opinion on the matter. I respect you opinion. Why do you prefer Pagano over Crayton? All comparables seem to support Caryton being the better prospect.

Strength clearly favors Crayton. He is one of the strongest propects ever.

Production favors Crayton (162 tackles, 10 sacks, and 40 plus quarterback hurries).

Common opponent. Boutte supposedly destroyed Pagano in Atlanta. Is that why he did not participate at LSU in July? Crayton supposedly dominated Boutte at the July camp.

Is it based on Pagano's speed/quickness? That appears to be the only area he may be better. But I haven't seen any numbers to compare.

Also why wouldn't LSU want Crayton?

It's more of a scheme thing. Pagano fits our scheme better. Crayton is a middle clogger and brings virtually nothing as a pass rusher. He'll never get faster or more agile. Pagano is light but extremely more athletic and agile. Pagano can add weight and strength and become firmer at the point of attack. Projection. Pagano projects higher than Crayton, particularly in our defense. Also sometimes just comes down to measurables. Pagano has better measurables long term.

I'm not falling over myself regarding either one to be honest but would take either. If I had to pick one, it would be Pagano because he fits us better.
