Dante Fowler, Jr - Pass Rusher - Florida

He may be out of our reach, but Dante Fowler would be a presence in our defense. You can never have too many pass rushers and Fowler, who is very versatile, can come in and make an impact.

Since his arrival at Florida, he has played all around the defensive front, playing heavy and then choosing to cut weight. He currently played at a very comfortable 260-lb range and looked to be more explosive. He's got violent hands and every time he hits the ball-carrier, it looks like a car wreck.

NFL.com has compared him to Khalil Mack, which isn't a bad comparison, but I see more of a James Harrison in him.

Who do you bench for him? Aaron Lynch?

rotate not bench.

He's my favorite player to take if the big three receivers (Cooper, Parker, White) are all off the board already. He's very versatile and could play 3-4 OLB or 4-3 DE.

He'd be an awesome replacement of Justin Smith retires and/or if Aldon Smith gets traded..

Really good player!

Why would anyone trade a future HOFer? He hasn't gotten in any more trouble recently and it would take a whole draft to get him. Plus he only has a year left on his contract.

It really is something to thnk about regarding Aldon Smith.. Just how many more "DONT GO TO JAIL" pass will he keep getting from us.??

wouldn't "bench" necessarily, but it's important for our defense to have a good rotation. lynch played real well, but also had times where he was just off. having someone like Fowler, who's very versatile, can really set off a defense.

Before suffering season-ending torn ACL, Dante Fowler signed an injury protection waiver that obligates Jaguars to negotiate in good faith.

Baalke wishes he could have added him to the All-ACL Team.
