I like him as a prospect, could end up being a dominant DL for years, but definitely if he’s floating around day 2 he’s worth that pick… he’s ridiculous for his size speed wise, and could end up being a good pressure guy up the middle for years ..
Someone will snag him in the 1st, even if it was a very talented class. I mean if he's there with our 2nd it's a duh no brainer although then I'd question whether something medically came up.
Just not top 10. But there are teams going for the playoffs like the Chiefs (could trade up?), Chargers especially, and even Patriots that are NOT good against the run.
Look I get it's a passing league, but you can't let teams just run all over you. If your rush defense is HORRIBLE it's a disaster unless your offense just puts up a TON of points regardless every game (see Chiefs and Chargers). However, even then it's still a liability. A giant nose tackle like that can also free up your pass rushers by just clogging lanes and allowing your pass rushers to just go balls deep with rushing the passer.
So I get that. That being said, does Seattle have an amazing pass rush group? No. Do we have a good rush defense? Yah, we do. Tied for 2nd in yards per attempt (we just gave up a lot of yards because the pass defense sucks and we allowed easy passes over the middle non-stop). Also, does Seattle actually have a pretty good defensive line at the moment? Yah actually, we do. Is the #9 overall worth a player like I described above? No. IF that player had pass rush skills as well? Abso-fucking lutely but if he did he'd be gone by the time we drafted #9.
He's a 15-20 type of pick IMO. That said, Seattle has loved the Red Bryant, Al Woods type player and they love their big athletic freaks... so it wouldn't shock me if they grab him. If we did fine, but trade the F back and get another 2nd so you can hopefully get Mafe after you trade the other 2 seconds to get in the late 1st to grab Ridder (which I'm convinced they'll do).
If they blow the #9 on Davis and an EDGE, Neal/Ekwonu, a trade option, and despite me not liking a CB is available... I'm flipping my shit.
