Who is your favorite edge rusher in the draft and why?

[FanofPelicans]

on passing downs, yes. We need someone. Fowler was not a good run defender. There is no pass rusher on the team right except Luvu and the guy we got from the Bears. Scourton is interesting big boom/bust type player like Stewart. Another guy is Jackson from Arkansas. He can do both. If Green, Pearce, or the Bc kid are there at #29 I would be shocked if they passed on them. IF those three are gone at 29 a trade down could happen. Or take Stewart at #29 b/c of his huge upside.

I was just listening to Take Command podcast. They were talking the top 5 DEs who could be what the Commanders need. They agree more with you. They think the Commanders Dline can handle stopping the run now and are lacking the twitchy, fast, possibly undersized pass rusher for third downs.

At the very least it could create options if they don't see an everydown DE that they like.

Besides Armstrong and Luvu we don't have a pass rusher and Armstrong didnt have a great year last year. Huge Need right now.

I agree pass rusher is a huge need.
Fowler outplayed Armstrong but Armstrong appeared to pick it up in the playoffs.
If we get a guy or draft one that is efficient, our secondary situation should be safe

As long as we don’t reach for an edge and pass on a better talent

who would be considered a reach at #29 for edge rushers?

Thats a broad question. Theres a kid, i think Burch from Oregon, I'd be pissed if we take him at 29....BUT.....what if he is a 15 sack guy

true. I wouldn't be pissed if we took Jackson from Arkansas at 29 even though it's a little reach.

its BPA at a position of need. When we get a better roster then he can do some crazy things.

If you reach for picks you get Forbes , Davis ,and Dotson’s . At 29 you should look at BPA’s at any position of need . I am not passing on a embuka to get a Jackson because edge is a perceived greater need

yeah, im torn on how i feel about him, i feel like in the right scheme he can become above average or elite.
i would want someone else as well

well it looks like Embuka will be there. Depends how big the reach is and where Peters has these guys ranked on his board. are you taking Ebuka over Simmons if both are there?

I lean towards ebuka because of health however I would gladly take either
