Quote:May I ask if you have watched any tape on Fowler, or is your anti-homerism homerism just because he was a gator? Yes Beasley is a great college pass rusher and has the body to be an elite one in the NFL. If you really watch tape on Fowler he is very versatile and you can see the offense account for where he is at, just because the stats aren't world setting doesn't mean he didn't impact every single play. He keeps cut backs contained, he can go into coverage, he can pass rush, he runs side line to side line, he uses his hands to create leverage well, and he takes good angles. You could line him up anywhere on the DL and be disruptive, hell you can probably drop him into coverage on TE heavy formations.

 

Nope. If I had to identify with one college team it would be Virginia Tech, so I'm equally ambivalent between the teams of Florida. But that aside, comeon, we should be trying to get the best talent on the team- so, honestly, the college team really should not matter at all. 

 

I agree with your assessment, Fowler is a fine player. But the role of the LEO is specific and a lot of what you write isnt going to be his responsibility with this team. If we are drafting a LEO this high, the conversation should fixate around who is the best pass rusher and disruptor.
