Who do they draft with the first pick now?

Oline? or Pass-rusher?

…or WR ?

I keep saying this but it’s my schtick for the moment … so I keep saying it.

It’s rare in the extreme to find a rookie edge/DE/pass rusher who has an immediate impact. I looked at all defenders who got 8 sacks or more, and it was 30 in 2016 and 35 in 2017, and in both years there was only 1 rookie.

And, you can find pass rushers in rounds 3 and 4. And they are going to be just as developmental as anyone you take in round 1.

Last year they were 4th in sack percentage without a real rusher most of the year (Quinn got 3 sacks in his first 4 games) so whatever it was they did then they can do now. That and maybe Ebukam comes through.

Thanks for posting his data IR, if he works out, it’s obviously a good thing.

Ebukam and Littleton are expected to be playing big roles for this team next year. I believe not only we traded Ogletree and Quinn for cap relief, but if Wade and the coached did not feel like they could play, and start, Tree, or Quinn would still be here.

Well i hope a stud OLineman is there at 23.

…btw, i do remember Seattle drafting Bruce Irvin out of WVU as a pass-rusher in the first round, and he had a big impact in year one.
