Would like to see us maybe take DT Ross Blacklock in the 1st to replace the Casey spot. Relentless motor, gets into the backfield early and often. Could make for a violent interior pass rush with a healthy Simmons this year.

What DL player (that isn't thought of as a top 10 guy) consistently jumps off the tape?
I agree big guys who can stuff the run and get after the QB are hard to find. My complaint with Blacklock is I'm not sure what he does well...he is just average at everything....I think Madubuike, Davidson, Gallimore, Lynch, Agim all show better pass rush moves...they at least show a swim move, a rip, or a spin...in what I've watched I don't see that in Blacklock...he is a big guy who moves well....he has 0 forced fumbles in his career...he has 0 pass defenses in his career and only 5.5 sacks...I want a guy who has shown he can make impact plays in the 1st rnd
Madubuike 4 FF and 4 PD and 10.5 sacks
Agim 6 FF and 4 PD and 11.5 sacks
Davidson 4 FF and 9PD and 17 sacks
Gallimore 5 FF and 2 PD and 9 sacks
Lynch 3 FF and 7 PD and 20 sacks
This....Brave and I were discussing this yesterday. I want him on our team if he’s sitting at #29. Dude is a baller. We would finally be disruptive on the inside which will make our edge and OLB guys look that much better....I have a hard time thinking we pass on him for someone else if he is there. He fits us so well....Would like to see us maybe take DT Ross Blacklock in the 1st to replace the Casey spot. Relentless motor, gets into the backfield early and often.

I agree here. We met with Fulton, and you can’t tell me a casey replacement wouldn’t be enticing....Especially since both positions aren’t that deep as others. I would personally be fine with either of them. Just keep in mind, interior pressure makes everything better......I may change my mind 5 times, but I kind of feel like of guys that we have a reasonable chance of drafting, our board is
1) Kristian Fulton
2) Blacklock

Alright. At least I know where you are coming from.
My concern with just looking solely at production is that is often going to depend on your role. Lynch put up nice numbers, but he mostly made effort plays that probably don't translate to the NFL. So he is probably a depth guy at best.
Dont get the Epenesa love
Guy looks very stiff
He plays with good leverage and uses his hands very well...very instinctive and quick at diagnosing plays....I agree that he doesn't look like the most fluid athlete and that showed at the combine, but hard to discount his production...watch the Iowa/USC game and see him destroy Austin JacksonDont get the Epenesa love

I can't imagine any scenario where we go EDGE over an interior defender for pass rush. Landry, Beasly and Correa are clearly the rotation at edge. Meanwhile we still have a massive hole at DE from Casey departing. Dude played 70-90% of snaps last year, and could you even imagine if Simmons got hurt? Zero interior pass rush. I was fairly sure we'd go CB first round, but if we don't have a plan in place to sign Clowny or someone else for the inside, I can't see us NOT taking an interior rusher round 1.
