Yeah Bailey, Parker, Faulk seem in the mix, too. Just trying to get my bearings before watching.
Monangai was a guy a touted on and off last off season. I called him a poor man's Skattebo. He ran in that style. He's coming on. My point is that style -- running angry with good vision but missing breakaway speed can translate to the NFL.

I honestly still think that we lack above average talent on D all over, so I would be looking to trade back to recoup some of the draft picks we lost as we did the patch work with roster last season coming into this off-season. I hated it then (even though it was understandable we were on high horse coming into this season) and I hate now even more. No more trading away any more picks please and instead of making yourself look smart (like we did in 1st RD last year), try to get above average players everywhere first and then look for elite players after that. Saying that, I do believe we can benefit from signing some high end WR in the offseason with our CAP space but again, NO to trading away draft picks.

I would be over the moon for Bain, and looking at the schedule there's a good chance we'll be in the running for him. Depending on where we end up picking, im not opposed to trading down and maybe picking up a 2nd round pick, we're so depleted with talent we desperately could use a 2nd round pick this year.
Looking at later round possibilities, im a uva fan and LB Kam Robinson would be a intriguing prospect. Was a 4 star out of high school, very athletic and gets to the ball in a hurry. He had a beautiful int and return for a TD at the end of the California game. Just the kind of fast athletic guy this defense is starving for.

Obviously this team is lacking playmakers on offense so im just starting to dive in on WRs and TEs.....
Looking at a few of the early draft boards Jordyn Tyson WR from ASU is at the top of most of those boards. 6'2" 200lbs his highlights look niceeee but obviously the clips don't tell the full story. Being that hes out west is haven't watched him play in real time......
I would love to see us accomplish two things this off-season, get a game changing blue chip WR, and find a replacement for Ertz. I want a fast, pass catching TE security blanket for JD.....if we don't currently have that on our roster then surely we can find at least a upgrade in FA or draft

I picked him in our mock in the fouth round, I believe.
We pick at 9 right now. https://www.tankathon.com/nfl
On first blush, he seems like a no brainer if he's there. Pressure and can set the edge.
Bain, a Miami Central High alum, has 39 quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. That is tied for fourth in the nation. His 28.6 pass-rush win rate is fourth in the nation among players with 100 or more pass-rush snaps. He has a 92.9 pass-rushing grade, which is sixth-best in the nation.
But Bain is not just getting after quarterbacks. He is stopping opponents in the run game, too. He is credited with 14 run stops, and he has a 90.7 run-defense grade, which is second in the nation among defensive linemen.
The result is Bain has the highest defensive grade (94.6) of any player in the nation who has played 10 or more snaps, and he is working hard to keep playing at that level.
“I stay (in the football facility) every night till 10 o’clock,” Bain said. “Before meetings, after meetings, sometimes even in class, I’m watching film. So I’m just doing the same thing over and over, not getting tired with (it) and just making sure I’m really honing in on my small details.”
Even in games when it looks like opposing teams are keeping the star defender in check, he is affecting the game in numerous ways. For example, Bain had one tackle, no sacks and no tackles for loss in UM’s win over Stanford, but defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman pointed out the different ways Bain impacted the game. Bain ended up with an 87.1 defensive grade from PFF — an excellent score but his second-lowest mark of the year.
“I thought he’s done a very good job of taking on some combos, taking on doubles,” Hetherman said.
“They’ve chipped; he slipped through them. I still think, like last week, I thought he was very productive at forcing the quarterback off the spot. Did a really good job in the run game, setting edges and knocking the line of scrimmage back. And I still think he had a huge effect on the pocket last week, forcing the quarterback to move around and get out. Maybe the stat line wasn’t exactly there this week, but when you go through and you watch how he played, I thought he did a very good job at the point of attack in the run game, and I thought he really affected the pocket in the pass game last week.”
Teams have been trying to slow Bain down, shifting their blockers to try to keep the defensive end away from their quarterbacks.
“I feel like every team’s taking kind of the same approach, just believing in their guys and what they got up front,” Bain said. “But I’m just trying to play football, attacking it the way I can, one play at a time, playing fast, no matter who’s in front of me or what scheme I’ve got to face.”
Fans watching games have been up in arms lately, saying teams are holding Bain illegally and referees are not calling the penalty. But Bain just keeps rolling.
“Coach (Jason Taylor) is always telling you you’ll never get the call, so always play like you want,” Bain said. “I’m really not too worried about the holding call. If you get it, it’s just a bonus. That’s in the words of coach J.T. So I believe in that, too. I’m just playing football right now. If the call gets called, it does. If not, oh well, I’ve still got to get to the quarterback.”

Why Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. may be the nation’s top defensive player
Hurricanes star defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. has dominated this season, and it has resulted in Heisman Trophy and NFL draft hype.

Getting a stud EDGE named Bain feels too good to be true so I won’t even spend time hoping for it lol

Yeah we’d likely need to be picking in the top 3/4 for him unfortunately.
With Mariota throwing to guys like Chris Moore with the worst defense in the NFL up against a murders row of opponents -- I wouldn't be shocked if we are picking that high.
I do not see many wins on our schedule. Miami, New York and Dallas-and probably just 1-2 with those teams- what does 4-13 bring us

Fair! We do have a very tough schedule. I don’t like cheering for us to lose, but if we did lose against the dolphins that could help us in a tie breaker. I don’t see the titans, jets or saints winning much either though. Could see the titans taking Bain (they need edge help), jets and saints would go QB. Best case is someone offers titans a haul for a QB and we’re sitting at 4 for Bain.

If we are in the top 5 and Bain goes before our pick then I say trade down and try to recoup a 2nd round pick.......don't get me wrong, Bain is my number one choice but we need picks and lots of them!!!
Okay you got me back onboard, fuck it! We’re Bottoming Out For Bain
The Rook
I'd think picking around #3-4 if they go 4-13
