Quote:I'll make my claim now, come at me. But I think by the time draft szn roles around you will be hearing this a lot from the NFL scouts. Draft twitter and the online draftniks will like Garrett a lot more than the NFL, imo. To me he is another Joey Bosa. He will be a fine pass rusher in the NFL and a good player but he is not the second coming of Demarcus Ware or Von Miller. He is slow and while he can bend it's not like Miller and Ware. He is more like Bosa than those two to me. He really beats guys with raw power and while he's fast off the edge it's not blinding speed. In high school he ran the 40 in a whopping 5.08 second. That is slow as hell for an edge rusher especially considering he was about 40 pounds lighter than he is now. I do think he will run faster at the combine but it will be like 4.8 at best. That is Bosa/Spence type speed, not Miller/Ware. Obviously Bosa went third overall so this won't necessarily affect his draft stock, but all the hype about him being a number 1 overall type player I think is wrong.


This being the case, I don't think there is any player worth tanking the season for in this draft, although there are a lot of good players. Unfortunately with Gus Bus at the helm we are guaranteed another top 5 pick so it will be interesting to see what we do with it.
