Same.

Absolutely spot on. The only thing I'd add is the SAM plays on the strong side so he would take on a TE and have to shed some in the run game more. Kind of like how Brooks would watch for the run game first en route to rushing the passer vs. Aldon who could just pin his ears back.

My guess is Saleh would LOVE a 3-down LEO and SAM who are equally stellar in the running game and in pass rush because, teams don't pass on just 3rd downs so you'd love to have your edge rushers in there every down.

I also think Lynch, a former S, has put pressure on getting more early down pressures too and not just on 3rd downs in obvious passing plays. Lynch knows what a pass rush can do for a DB/LB.

Yea teams don't only pass on third. Landry would give us a solid pass rush from the strong side on assumed run downs if they decide to pass it.

Harold Landry's performance at the combine shows that he is in rarified air, much like his dominant performance in 2016https://t.co/5aeoVdTLV6 pic.twitter.com/GSef7cvYe2

Who would you guys compare Landry to? I've seen some Bruce Irvin comparisons as well as Vic Beasley and Melvin Ingram

I didn't even know he had 18 sacks(I rarely look at player stats). God damn.

Mayock said yesterday that he thinks Landry is a combination of Vic Beasley and Shane Ray.

His ability to bend reminds me of a specific dude:

Holy s**t, look at this bend. Landry looks like Von Miller here.

Right...also we had a comment in here about his poor play vs ND this yr, dude played in 38 of a possible 78 snaps that game. He was injuried all yr. he looked 100% to me yesterday.

I'd cream my pants if we took Landry at #9.

I see a lot of Von Miller as well, but that comp is probably a little too aggressive. I like Vic Beasley as a fair comparison, and I think he could feast in this defense the say way Vic did in his 2nd year. He could be the cherry on top that makes our defense elite.

I'm totally on board with him at #9.

Also this is a kid that is NFL ready. He can come right in and make an impact. I can see him getting 8-10 sacks as a rookie. If we can't trade down, I think he is the pick at #9.
