Not a fan. Wasn't a fan last year either.
A couple of months makes for a big difference, doesn't it?
Here I was thinking maybe we'd be reaching for Beasley and now it is very likely he won't even be there.
All I know is that Shea McClellin is bout to thrive in a 3-4.
Still feel the same about Beasley despite the recent hype machine following the combine. On film he shows the least power of all the top rated edge guys. As a full time 34 OLB he wouldn't be my guy. If you are running a Hybrid and need a LEO he is a perfect fit.
We will run both 30 & 40 fronts.
Which is why he'll likely end up going #3 overall.
Well, except for being 40lbs lighter, not as fast, no signature move, and not having 110 career NFL sacks. But in every other way he's exactly like Freeney!
Jason Taylor played at 225 on average... (he wasn't listed that low, but he admitted that he usually played at that weight)
That being said, I'm not saying this guy is Jason Taylor... just that people have this idea that if a DE/OLB isn't 265lbs+ that they automatically won't make it in the NFL.
Jason Babin is the LEO in that Defense as of now. Beasley would likely split reps. Hard to justify a top 5 pick on a part time player.
Clemons also played that role. Granted he's old.
Jason Taylor was also considerably longer than Beasley which allowed him to keep tackles at bay. To me weight isn't as much of a concern as length and functional power which are two areas Beasley lacks.
Crap... that's true... I forgot that Beasley only has 32.5" arms... Anyone know how long Taylor's arms were?
