Originally posted by theduke85:Pretty much how I feel. Look at what happened with free agency this year. Look at how many edge rushers were franchised. Edge rushers are extremely hard to find. Yeah, we got Dee Ford, but who cares? Stack up on pass rushers.
Bosa is being a little overhyped (he's not a generational prospect like Garrett, but he is a blue chip prospect), but so is Williams. Williams is a really strong prospect, not a generational talent imo. I think people are getting their vision a little clouded by Aaron Donald. Like, "hey, Aaron Donald is this beast DT that is this transcendent force. I would love to have a Donald on our team, let's get QW so we have one of our own." QW is not Donald and he's not going to have that impact.
Anyway, they're both great prospects. I just think edge is harder to find. A defense can be successful without a dominant interior force but it's very hard to be dominant without an edge rusher. I want as much as many edge rushers as we can get. There's no such thing as having too many.
How much of QW have you watched? I vaguely define "generational talent" as someone who looks like a man among boys in college in a routine basis. QW looks like that and Bosa, who consistently got shut down by decent long armed tackkes, does not.
Aaron Donald is a first ballet Hall of Famer. QW is not there, but he looks better than Donald did in college right now. So, I'd say the tiers go HoF, Generational talent, Multiple Pro Bowler. QW is squarely in the second tier. Bosa is on the lower end of the third tier.
Regarding generational talent, which interior defensive linemen in the last five years has been good as QW? No one, and most experts would agree on that.
Bosa has only one thing going for him in this debate: his position.
