AFJF Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Reminds me of Vilma who was a monster in the 4-3. Fair? Worth a pick at 35 or 38 so he can play outside this year and transition inside down the road? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Height doesn't matter, it's more about arm length. There's some DTs that are 6'6 with only 32 inch arms. In such case one shouldn't rave about their height. Being shorter gives one advantage when it comes to agility/foot speed. Also this dude had some of the best space eaters in the country from starters to the backups. Not saying to rule him out however that his to be considered when evaluating him. I'd like to target LB Muma in the 3rd. Great value at that spot along with Tindall, Clark (LSU), Smith (PSU) or Beaver (Cin) in the 4th round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets Voice of Reason Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Dean is one of the best players in the draft. His football iq, vision, and play speed is top tier. If he falls to the second it’s because teams are still bad at this in my opinion and are overrating the size thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean is 5'11 1\8'', Vilma 6' 1/2''. Dean has longer arms. Biggest difference Vilma average Wonderlic score, Dean is one of the smartest players in college football, a straight A student in engineering it shows in the classroom more importantly on the field, where Dean knows where the ball is going at the snap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Dean is the type of player good teams get in RD 2 because he falls because he’s not a measurables darling. He’s just a baller.

RedBeardedSavage Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Things that make you nervous played in the ideal situation in Georgia - best defensive line in a long time in front of him occupying blocks No athletic testing Also, I feel like linebacker in the Saleh scheme is like RB in the Shanahan scheme - if you're trench players are doing their job properly, you're going to look good even if you were drafted on day 3.

If he makes it to 35 the only way you don't take it is because you are like oh crap ______ also made it to 35. If they take him at 38, that means they LOVE the guy the got at 35. Four starters with the first four picks, hope the draft shapes up like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I love Dean. Agree with the Vilma comp re: size. He's a stud that will be an instant Pro Bowler/ten year leader for you. We have so many needs I dunno if you can take an off ball linebacker given what we're paying Mosely but I wouldn't freak out if we took him at 35. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm length isn't elite, but it's fine. The primary complaint with arm length is block shedding and more minorly coverage, which he doesn't have a problem with in my opinion. Comparisons: Nakobe Dean: 31 7/8 inch arms Fred Warner: 32 inch arms Luke Kuechly: 31 inch arms Roquan Smith: 32 inch arms 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
