I would be absolutely over the moon if Damontre fell to us.
I am now firmly on the pass rusher at 32/early 2nd round train. Good defenses need three edge rushers in this day and age, and Upshaw isn't an athletic rusher, just a bullrusher who's great at stopping the run, and Suggs is still a bit of a question mark, although I expect him to be back to a high level again, just not DPOY level, more likely 2010 level. My 3 targets are now Alex Okafor, Tank Carradine, or Damontore Moore (would be my number 1 guy, but I'm not sure how realistic it is that he falls to 32).
The idea offseason:
Re-sign Ellerbe, Reed, and McKinnie.
Sign Ricky Jean Francois, and Chris Spencer (to compete with Gino)
Draft:
1. Damontre Moore
2. Brandon Williams
3. Kevin Reddick
4. Joe Kruger
There is the trenches fixed again.
Well you know im a Carradine guy lol, i think fully healthy he's a top half of the first round guy. He reportedly has been doing some running and wants to work out for scouts before the draft. At 32 it's risky now, dpeneding on how well he works out and how he checks out medical between now and the draft the risk may subside, even to the point that he could go before 32.
I like Okafor too, i dont see the burst i think to be a 10 sack a year guy but he's gonna be a good player, love Carradine's upside tho
Nothing derailed the Courtney Upshaw train last year and nothing must derail the Tavon Austin train this year.
Tavon Austin is a perfect fit for todays NFL, he's going to go in the top 20 sadly. Upshaw dropped because he's a throw back style edge defender, he would have been a perfect fit for a team like the 2000 Ravens, but he just wasn't athletic enough to go in the top 20 even if many of us projected him there. I still think Upshaw is going to be a very good player for us, just not an all pro pass rusher like Suggs is.
