I believe he is either a 3-4 pass rushing OLB or perhaps a DE in a 4-3 system or even a LEO in a 4-3 hybrid. He's an accomplished pass rusher, but when it comes to other skills, he needs some work. When I got to the end of the draft, I just tried to pick the BAP for our positions of need. I didn't really take notice of the schools, (which is why we doubled up twice.) That was totally unintentional. The small school corner I have us taking is extremely athletic, has a knack for getting to the football, he would probably become the fastest player on the team and he could be a valuable return man. I just thought he checked all the boxes.

Exactly.  I would rather the team draft another edge rusher than a 4-3 olb.

I think Haynes would make the decision on keeping Fowler easier.

Being an Ole Miss fan I have always seen him as a similar prospect to Yannick.

Yannick has 20lbs or so on Haynes but beyond that they are extremely similar...both known as pass rusher/weak against the run. Combine numbers almost favor Haynes only having 3 less reps(23) than Yannick and 2.5inch less vertical.

Haynes with at least 7 sacks in each of his 4 years in the SEC total of 32 and 47.5 TFL. Yannick was 21 sacks in 3 years with 32 TFL. So their production was very similar as well.
