titanruss Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 38 minutes ago, Starkiller said: Green wasn’t drafted because of his off the field issues, not his playing ability 9 minutes ago, Starkiller said: I’d have just drafted Green, but I understand why they wouldn’t I get it and same. But drafting a huge projection on a developmental player that early irks me. We could have chased older vets on 1-2 year deals and filled the edge room with more ability for a couple seasons than we have now without drafting any edge this season. opens the draft up for BPA and not having to deal with a low probability developmental prospect. Femi projects to be an average situational rusher that is decent at pass d and has the size ( but not experience) to be good at setting the edge. I think that's a guy we can get every offseason in FA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnsideKick Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter was held out of Thursday’s joint practice with the Miami Dolphins because of an upper-body injury, and the No. 2 draft pick isn’t going to play in the Jaguars’ preseason finale Saturday night, either.

OilerTitanHybrid Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 I can hear the Defense in the huddle now... "Aight, y'all know the drill. We ain't got no edge rushers, so it's mighty Vrable D time!" "set that edge and hope like hell you can contain 'em!" Annnnd Break! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am hopeful for Femi, but Green will always be the comparison. Callidus, Starkiller, and IsntLifeFunny 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 Femi was my least favorite draft pick. Any time you take an inexperienced, project pass rusher with little sack production you're asking for trouble. I did miss on Odafeh Oweh though so we'll see. I see Femi's upside being similar to Derrick Morgan. High effort, high character fan favorite that plays extremely hard and gives you solid at best play. Very good edge setter that can get you some pressures but struggles to convert them into sacks unless he has a stud on the other side. At least that's what his tape looked like to me. We'll see though. I don't like to write guys off this early into their career. Bongo59, IsntLifeFunny, and Justafan 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year they likely draft an edge high in the draft who will be your star outside rusher. VanCityTitan, Mythos27, Omar, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t just some athlete who failed to produce in college. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 I'll be the first to say, I don't follow/ know the defense much at all, but my hope is that Femi could line up at edge, or as an off-ball linebacker, depending on the personel and the packages called.. He might be a pass rusher from a variety of spots, depending on the play call.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if not him there's maybe TJ Parker or Reuben Bain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a recurring theme with rebuilding GMs. If it was me, I'd build a team like the Gators and have a Netflix show 10 years later lol Mythos27, and Kcroy420 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
