Here's one.

Sitting around 15th overall right now



Plays outside and between the tackles. Has 8 sacks so far this year. No INTs and only 3 passes defended so he looks more like a downhill guy.

Minnesota tape is not going to look good. They've mostly shut him down.

JR BIO


There's your top five edge rushers as of this morning . It's working out for Carter who has vaulted himself to 2nd overall.

At this point, the edge guy that would most likely fall into our laps is Mykel Williams out of Georgia. Here's his UGA bio for this past season.

2024: Coaches Second Team All-SEC selection...has appeared in 11 contests while making five starts...notched a pair of tackles for a loss of eight yards in Aflac Kickoff Game win against Clemson…tallied a team-leading three QB pressures against the Tigers...posted one tackle for a loss of a yard in Homecoming game win over Auburn...credited with a pass breakup and a pair of QB pressures in win over Mississippi State...credited with a pair of sacks for a combined loss of 10 yards and forced a fumble in win over Texas, earning him SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week recognition…tallied four QB pressures against the Longhorns...had three tackles, including 0.5 for loss, and three QB pressures in win over Florida in Jacksonville, Fla...had a tackle and three QB pressures in win over Tennessee...was one of two Bulldogs to lead the defense with five tackles, including a sack for a loss of 23 yards, in win over UMass…was one of three Bulldogs to force a Minutemen fumble...credited with one tackle and two QB pressures in regular season finale win over Georgia Tech...tallied two sacks for a combined loss of 10 yards and had five QB pressures in win over Texas at the SEC Championship...named to Lombardi Award Watch List...included on Senior Bowl and Chuck Bednarik watch lists...AP Preseason All-SEC First Team...USA Today Preseason All-America Second Team...Coaches Preseason All-SEC Second Team.

Now I'm fine drafting a guy in the first round who is top 3 at his position. But why do I see flags here without watching any tape?

Second team all conference, watchlists but no awards, only two sacks. Is this guy a first rounder?




He doesn't scare me away from trading for Myles Garrett. At first glance I think he's a little too high up here but that is a really small sample.

That's great tape. I bet Bowles will like this guy.

Great get off, great motor, sheds blocks, and pursues to the tackle or the whistle. Has everything you like to see but I'm not seeing any drops into coverage.

Maybe he has film of coverage in this film but I'm seeing nothing but pass rush reps and stopping the run. Gives me Devin White vibes.

He's a dog, but he needs to show some versatility he wants to be a Bowles guy.

Love the pass rushing though.

I don't hate Devin White vibes if he's an Edge rusher and not an ILB.
