I’d be happy with this because I currently prefer Hutchinson to Thibodeaux. Without a second guess whatsoever. A 2nd round receiver will probably bring a lot more to the table than a second round DE/OLB Plus, if we pick a Michigan guy with our top pick, that's gonna steam the hell outta Shelley X We show less advertisements to registered users.

Hutchinson still has at least one more game so he still can make a statement to be selected first

Looks like O-Line-Matters gets his wish. We prolly getting the 1st pick now. Unless we trade back... nah we won't do that.

He doesn't have to do anything else IMO. I have him slightly over Thibodeaux and I don't see this changing, unless he gets arrested, fails a drug test or something awful comes out about him.

I would've rather won and shown a real turnaround with this team, once Meyer was gone. That didn't happen though and the reality is that this team just doesn't have talented players. I am happy though that we are at least guaranteed one of the two best overall players in the draft and they play a position where we definitely need help. I'm choosing to look at the positive.

Close enough that if there is a stark athletic testing difference Thibs could jump him. Either way, Josh Allen plus either of these guys will be filthy.

He just destroyed opposing OT's this season.

Yeah I remember after we won our second game and we were like 5th in the draft order I said screw it I'd just reach a little for Hutch there (lol) and you pushed back on it pretty hard at the time (also lol).

What I love so much about Hutch is how perfectly he fits across from Allen. Tailor made SAM that will set the edge well and even destroy some run blockers. Relentless motor that will get a significant handful of sacks every year just from hustling and cleaning up these pressures that Allen creates but slip away cause no one else is around. All of the traits to be a dominant pass rusher all by himself, but also the traits that will mesh with another top pass rusher to elevate both of them.
Not saying Thibs can't be that guy in time he has the frame to do so, but he's not there yet and I'm not sure if his motor burns hot enough to do a lot of the dirty work that will make a difference.

He just destroyed opposing OT's this season. I fully admit, I have some biases against Michigan D-Linemen. It seems like they never really make the transition into the NFL. There is something very different about Hutchinson though and as the season went on, I could no longer deny how good he was, even though I went kicking and screaming. He is technically as good as it gets, he's strong and his motor never quits. He may not be the fastest guy, but what he lacks in athleticism, he makes up for in technique and determination. He reminds me so much of Jared Allen and if he does turn out to be as good as him, we'll be getting a heck of a player. Allen had a 12 year NFL career and racked up 136 sacks.

If he tests anywhere near as good as they say he will not be lacking in athleticism whatsoever. Allen was a 4th round pick because he played at Idaho State. If he played at a Power 5 school he would have went much higher.

But he also said that Neal reminds him of Cam Robinson A lot of people have said he timed in the 6.5s for his 3 cone at Michigan, which I find hard to believe. Kwity Paye of course had his famous 6.37 3 cone at Michigan and then never did a 3 cone in pre draft testing, so it's likely Michigan just cooks it's numbers by a pretty large margin. I expect Hutch probably can come in under 7, which is the threshold for EDGES, and would be especially good considering his size. To be a true rock solid #1 pick I would hope he breaks 7 seconds by a decent margin, however. If he comes in around 7 flat that will be in the range that Thibodeaux could leap him if he tests like he should. |
