i love everything about him. the guy is an alpha male on the field, and we need more of those.

yeah I wasn't sure...CBS has him as a 6th rd pick

Thoughts on Jordan Willis?? https://www.profootballfocus.com/draft-college-football-10-biggest-risers-2017-nfl-draft-class/

"A deep class of edge rushers adds another strong name to the list as Willis has had a dominant season for Kansas State. He's beat up on opposing right tackles, rushing off the left side on 96.8 percent of his rushes, but the production is difficult to ignore. Willis uses strong hands and a variety of moves to rank fifth overall as a pass-rusher at 89.5 while posting the top grade against the run at an identical 89.5. Willis didn't come completely out of nowhere as he had a strong 2015 season, but he's taken his game to a new level and even in a deep class, Willis will garner more notice."

Like this kid...kinda injury prone though right?

Another kid to keep and eye on is Harold Landry

Landry looked good, productive. That one INT he got in the bowl game was pretty amazing.
Garrett is the crown jewel in this draft BUT there are a ton of really good pass rushers in this draft.

Agreed. But with the new quick pass happy offense people are running you need 2-3 good press corners to make the QB hold the ball for that extra .5 seconds. We have Robinson and Ward just need one more with hopefully Garrett and this D could really start taking steps.

Don't be hating on Redmond either...kid could play before the injury CB is another position that's deep in this draft as well.

pas rush
CB
TE
RB

all look to have great value throughout the draft.

Yup dude will be a prefect slot corner we do need another outside guy...Ward would be the ideal FS imo
Yeah Garrett is by far the best player and pass rusher in this draft but this kid Derek Barnett is looking very intriguing, is he the next best after Garrett..?

Barnett would be the landslide #1 overall pick if he was longer. He is great in every other phase of the game. But he's not, so he'll be a top 10 pick

He'll likely be the second pass rusher off the board though I see him as a better fit in a 4-3. If the 49ers were to switch to a 4-3 I'd be perfectly happy with them going after Barnett if Garrett is gone. Barnett is another gameplan wrecker, each time I've watched him he's found ways to alter what the opposing team is doing, either they run the ball away from or him he just keeps abusing tackles and forcing them to double or even triple him up.

He looks like he could end up being the under the radar type that kills it in the NFL..kind of like Vic Beasley, quietly becoming a star..

He's got Bowman-like leadership and just eclipsed Reggie White's career sack record. I don't think he'll go under the radar for draft purposes. BUT I see your point. I think he could be a guy you look back at in 2019 as the best defensive player in the 2017 draft.
This Walker kid at FSU is a terror

Yup exactly my point..

Garrett
Tim Williams
Takk McKinley
Carl Lawson
Derek Barnett
Charles Harris

All em them are first round talents.

We really need one of these guys. Several second tier QBs out there we can grab in round 2 or maybe even 3.
