Statistical comparison is a much less important than watching game tape. The unknown and imprecise nature of scouting is what makes the draft so interesting. The competition question is always asked. Remember Clowney versus Khalil Mack from the University of Buffalo? Agree to disagree and check back in a couple of years.

I don't have much interest in Garrett as a no way possible player. How about a better question...

Barnett versus Jonathan Allen?

I questioned the positional need/fit but the more I have looked the more I think you have to take Allen on pure value and do whatever necessary to integrate him.

And Barnett's tape is very good.

Tape? Check
Production? Check
Production against NFL caliber opponents? Check
3 cone? Check
Hand? Check
Body bend? Check
Run defense? Check

Speed? Not so much straight line
Pass rush moves? One main with the other undeveloped
Angle to the QB? Gets washed out too often (yet still had 32 sacks)

On Allen, if he somehow falls you definitely have to look, but we already have so many big bodies. He may be too good to pass over though. That's a tough one. Do you just go all big line? Everyone would be around 300 lbs.
