Larry Holder (who is nobody im aware) keeps mocking Kony Ealy to us. Someone help me out, am I missing something with him or is Larry just trippin. Does anyone agree with him and think that'd be a reasonable pick or no cause i dont see why he thinks we need a hand on the ground DE.

We play a lot of 4 man fronts. If he's the highest ranked player on the board, I have no problem taking him. Galette may stand up at times, but he's not dropping back into coverage much. He could be a similar player depending on what weight they'd have him playing at.

Walter Camp has been mocking him to us for months. I hate Walter Camp and his repetitive mocks. Charlie Campbell has Marqise Lee mocked to us currently. Needless to say, I prefer Charlie's mock. Either we trade back, or draft best player available. Ealy definitely might fit that bill.

I'm not too familiar with Ealy, but OLB/DE really wouldn't be as bad of a pick early on as a lot of people are making it out to be. If anything happens to Galette we're left with Butler, who is coming off an ACL tear and has 1 year left on his deal.

Interesting. I saw a couple of draft profiles that compared him to Quinn, but Quinn would have went much higher if not for off the field questions. So I'm not sold on that comparison.

He looks like the next Dion Jordan, Barkivious Mingo type rusher that is a boom or bust guy.

If we take a defensive lineman this year, what do y'all think of Justin Ellis (NT) from Louisiana Tech? 6'1" 334 lbs. Projects as a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Would be good to have a young rotation of Ellis and Jenkins at NT and let Bunkley's big contract walk. Thoughts?

What does Ealy do besides rush the passer?

we went after defense heavily in FA. I don't think we draft another defensive player in the first round unless CJ Mosely falls to us. I think we go O-Line or WR

I'm not too big of a fan of Ealy but I would much rather have him than Dee Ford. I'd rather draft a P in the first than Ford.

Butler only has 1 yr left on his contract, and junior will probably hit 12 sacks this yr and expect a pay day. We only have so much money so it makes sense if we take at least 1 pass rusher in this draft to fill the hole we're probably going to have down the road. It doesn't warrant a 1st though, especially with how many moves we've made this offseason for the defense. CSP will want some toys of his own.
