Dude needs his own thread because the more I watch him, the giddier I get. Hard to find athletes this twitchy, loose and fluid in their movement at 250 lbs. Florida DE Jachai Polite was turning it upppppp in the 2nd half! pic.twitter.com/ng1Wl8saDM— Ben Fennell (@BenFennell_NFL) September 30, 2018I'm not seeing nearly enough buzz on junior DE Jachai Polite (6'2 260) from Florida...Elite pass rush tools/traits.. Handful of moves and impressive flexibility/burst to close.I also love he had 4 tackles last season 20+yds downfield - straight hustling til the whistle!! pic.twitter.com/wE0S9JuAYS— Ben Fennell (@BenFennell_NFL) September 26, 2018

Yes! Exactly what I'm hoping. Two legitimate pass rushers will do wonders on the back end of this defense.

This ×1000000. You add two edge talents to Buck and Solly and qb's won't want to come out of the locker room. Pretty simple. Secondary becomes top 15 overnight.

All u would then need are a couple of good blue chip db's and we're set. My draft plan right now would be edge then sell the farm to move back up in the draft to get one of those tall stud wideouts

So many things to like about Polite. One of those is playing with max effort. The guy is always hauling ass.

Look at the hustle and speed from #99 Jachai Polite here. It's as if he's a Corner or Safety. Just pure freakiness. #Florida pic.twitter.com/llWW0BEtXS

This one from last year is nuts.

This is how you guarantee a spot to play on Sunday.

Polite was getting mugged today with the limited opportunities he had. That said, he's still very raw. Needs to continue developing his moves, his hands, and mature his pass-rush plan. A little too dependent on athleticism right now.

We have to wait for the entire body of work and combine, but he's trending in that direction.

Florida Jachai Polite 6'2 242 - Compact, Lean, Explosive, Flexible. Speed Rusher. Tim Williams/Harold Landry style.

Not bad comps, but Polite appears to be a much better athlete than both.

I've cooled off on Polite just a tad. He's still very raw. I need to see more from him.

Honestly Polite and Bosa are my two favorite edge guys so far. That would be amazing.

He's a top 10 pick for sure. He's been slept on enough. Once the combine comes around the measurables will have teams lining up at the door.

Film doesn't lie. Raw, yes. But the skill set to be a premier pass rusher is there.
