Instead of comparing Jordan to stars in this league lets see who we passed up for him.

Muhammad Wilkerson 17T 0S (1st Rd)
Cameron Heyward 4T 1S (1st Rd)
Jabaal Sheard 13T 1S (did have 8.5S last year)
Brooks Reed 8T 1.5S
Da'Quan Bowers Injured
Justin Houston 14T 4S (3rd Rd Character concerns coming out)
Allen Bailey 0T 0S
Christian Ballard 6T 0S

Just for comparison purposes how about guys that went before Jordan

Marcell Dareus 4T 2S (playing DT)
JJ Watt 16T 7.5S (what if we would have traded up for this guy)
Robert Quinn 9T 3S
Adrain Clayborn 2T 0S (injured)

So just to clarify who exactly did we miss on at DE in this draft. I have been an Ingram supporter although PT23 is my favorite player on this team. That time has passed.

Pretty hard to just hang your hat on stuffing the run as a defensive end. That just doesn't get the job done in today's game. And anyone talking about how takes time for a DE to transition, i beg to differ. DE is probably one of the easiest transitions in the NFL where guys can step in and start making impacts with sacks. Will Smith did it, Charles Grant did it and that was when we had Darren Howard too. We don't get any pressure from anywhere else to be excusing anybody as a non-sack artist cause "he's a run stuffer"... Well frick, if our DE's can rush, play the 3 fricking 4 or get out of the league.
