We doubled down at the position with premier draft capital, but we still need more bodies and talent. Collins and West both have upside as pass rushers, but profile primarily as run stoppers with pocket pushing ability vs the pass. We could use someone with the twitch and bend to play as more of a penetrator with the ability quickly knife past pass protectors into the back field, with the size to not bea liability vs the run. Enter Caleb Banks.
Alternatively, Capehart plays a little more like the aforementioned Collins, but his talent might be too good to pass up. His teammate Woods will go higher, but Capeheart would make a phenomenal 2i next to Alfred. The way he wins is with a quick first step and super heavy hands, and he should offer more in the way of pass rush than West.
2 David Bailey, EDGE | Texas Tech
Williams was a much needed addition, and he does have upside as a pass rusher, but his best utilization might be kicking inside to rush the passer on those money downs. We still lack a premier sack artist. Bailey may never be more than a designated pass rusher, but he has the speed and bend to do it at a higher level than anyone currently on the roster not named Bosa.
3 Kage Casey, LT | Boise State
Lower level of competition hopefully drops a player capable of at least competing for the LT job after Trent hangs em up. He has been busy opening up holes for Jeanty, but we need to see how he holds up in pass pro this year when teams are no longer terrified of Jeanty running it on them.
4 Logan Jones, C | Iowa
Undersized, but prototype center for our team.
4 Gennings Dunker, OL | Iowa
Sticking with the Iowa theme, ill project Dunker at LG, but he has a chance to stick at RT as well, if he can beat out...
4 Fa'alili Fa'amoe, RT | Wake Forest
A run blocking specialist with the physical tools to develop as a pass blocker.
5 Rod Moore, S | Michigan
Jack of all trades, but not really a master of one, Rod Moore uses his smarts above all to get him, and his teammates, into the right position.
5 Kobe Singleton, CB | Oregon State
Ball hawking corner
6 Khordae Sydnor, DE | Purdue
Defensive end to back up Williams, in the mold of how we successfully used Omenihu, Key, etc.
