Quote:Ngakoue did not do fine in all phases. He sucks against the run, period. Go back and watch the tape. Fowler will be better than him, he has more natural talent. Ngakoue just has better technique than Fowler because that's how he had to win, Fowler has had more athleticism so he hasn't had to focus on his technique as much. Even if Fowler does not turn out to be better than Ngakoue as a pass rusher, Ngakoue still should not start. He is a designated pass rusher, not a 3 down guy. Ngakoue getting all those snaps is a big reason our run defense took a step back this year. Furthermore, he isn't even that special of a pass rusher. He is probably going to be a guy who will consistently get you 6-8 sacks per season and be a nice rotational pass rusher but we aren't talking about the next great NFL pass rusher here. Jonathan Allen has All-Pro, Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, Michael Bennett potential, and will be a beast against both the run and pass. It's beyond asinine not to draft him because Ngakoue had 8 sacks this season.

 

You and a good bit of this fanbase are overrating Ngakoue and living in the moment. Dude is alright, you should not be building your team based around the fact you have him though, that is a mistake and anyone who actually watches the tape closely will tell you that.
