Quote:  Here's a related question that I'm interested in your input ( and anyone else for that matter.  )   If not for the character issues with Shane Ray,  do you think he would have been a consideration for the Jaguars pick at # 3 or the Falcons pick at # 8 in that draft?     I actually had Ray going to the Falcons before the character factor became a major issue. 

No I wasn't a Ray fan at all either. He's somehow even worse than Fowler in the 3 cone despite being 15 lbs lighter at the combine. I charted his sacks in college and he was basically the Blake Bortles of college DEs. Nothing special in the slightest until the score was out of hand and he got to pin his ears back and jump the snap. 

 

I loved Beasley and I really liked Bud Dupree. Dupree is a straight line guy like Fowler and Ray, but his explosion for his weight was just incredible. 42" vertical and 138" broad at 269 is off the charts, I think he could make up for the lack of bend with that explosion and size especially if he was in a wide 9 LEO type of role.
