Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey is ranked 6th on Bruce Feldman's Freaks List!

"At 6-3, 250 pounds, he has elite burst and just a ton of juice coming off the edge. He hit 22.16 mph last year and also bench pressed 405 pounds."

Is he the pick at No.3 overall?

The Tip always goes deeper than the rest!!
But ya gotta consider what your working with.

I never said "I" have to consider...
But I agree with your point

He’s the best of this tier 3 group, but I just don’t see it.

Why not in the third round??

Kelvin Beachum is a greater loss than Jonah Williams.

I like Kayden as a prospect. Big questions are do you think he has the juice to be a pass rusher and if not, how high are you willing to take a NT who might play only 40% snaps?

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Kelvin Beachum is a greater loss than Jonah Williams.

How sad is that? Both are backups at best at this point.

 

[BritCard]

Beachum is highly valuable as a capable backup at both tackle spots.

Jonah Williams could become that if he's willing to accept he's not going to get a starting job. I'd happily pay Jonah $4m to be a backup swing tackle.

Yeah, we basically have a team full of backups. When will we get, you know, good starters? Is that in year 8?

 

[Cardiac]

Beachum has become a okaish backup with no upside. J Williams simply sucks.
Monti signed a couple of FA oline men who can play RT so the concern is backup LT.
That's why I want a OT drafted in either of the first 2 rounds.

 

[BritCard]

I don't think you understand how valuable it is to have a swing tackle you can reply on to handle both tackle spots to a decent standard if a starter is out.

 

[Harry]

Why not in the third round??

If you’re looking for a guy who could play some in the NFL, I think he will. I just don’t see him as strong enough to take a team to the playoffs. The investment required to make him into that role is too much. The timing of the Cards’ QB need is very bad; lousy free agents and a thin draft. I think this is compounded by what I see as a limited depth 2027 QB pool. I think the Cards will win enough games (5-6) to take them out of getting a premium guy. This is why you see the interest in Simpson. He is a gamble, but maybe the best option. I think they will try to maneuver for him if they can. If not things could get even more desperate.

 

[ASUCHRIS]

I don't think you understand how valuable it is to have a swing tackle you can reply on to handle both tackle spots to a decent standard if a starter is out.

Uh, it's not so valuable when YOU ACTUALLY NEED A STARTER AT THE POSITION. We have tons of below average rotation guys - we're still in desperate need of above average starters.

I still think that the Jets snipe him at #2 overall. Much to the dismay of the Cardinals.
