Quote:Bosa was taller and heavier and whipped Dante in the agility/explosion drills that matter for DE...broad jump, 3 cone, and shuttle. 40 yard dash really means nothing, sorry.

 

For comparison, Bosa is a 70th percentile SPARQ athlete despite underwhelming in the 40 yard that doesn't matter...so he's really like 90th percentile in what matters. 

 

Dante is a 30th percentile SPARQ athlete despite impressing in the 40 yard that doesn't matter...so he's really like a 20th percentile in what matters.

 

 

Quote:Yeah I disagree strongly (which can probably be assumed from the post above haha), I'd much rather have Bosa than Fowler if they were both in this draft. 

Fowler would still be the better prospect. The 40 may not be that important for linemen but the 10 split is. Fowler's was very good and Bosa's was meh. Fowler is more explosive and flexible on tape than his drills show, his 10 split backs that up. Fowler would be a more desirable prospect because he has a better motor, better length, is faster, and is more versatile. Bosa is better against the run coming at him and is a stronger pass rusher but other than that Fowler has him in everything else. You're putting too much stock in combine numbers and force player. On my grading scale Fowler grades out as the better overall player (slightly) and I think that would be most teams' opinions.
