Veach and co clearly have a plan, and its all about tweener types at every defensive position... everyone should be able to do a little bit of everything, it would seem

Front 7 versatility is at a premium

Williams and Nnadi are both undersized and athletic, but squatty built noses who can quickly leverage guys to break off single blocks and hustle to the ball... maybe even play them at end here and there

Jones, and now Speaks, are both hybrid edge types who can kick inside in subpackages, or play any other position along the line when needed... its an everyone should be able to do a little of everything, defense
OH NO, why am I getting flashbacks the Read and React defense run by that DC I know I can't name here.

Nnadi kinda gives me Mike Devito vibes. Which we’ve missed him quite a bit at times I believe.

The guy is going to shut down run plays often I believe. You could have him in on early downs and move Speaks or KPass inside on 3rd downs.

Yep. Lots of tweeners mean lots of problems. Always has.

Not really. Jones makes some good plays. Then disappears. Then gets hurt.

PFF ranked him as the 12th best interior lineman in 2017 I think. He also played every game in 2017, he's had injuries but I think only missed half a game of actual playing time?

Chargem 04-28-2018 05:11 AM
Anyway, I am okay with the Nnadi pick. He will do a good job stuffing the run and that's hard to dislike, but I feel like run stuffing potential has less value than pass rushing potential so I'm not sure I agree with the philosophy of the pick. I would rather buy run stuffers as they are cheap and take a flyer on a guy who could be a real disruptor as an interior pass rusher, although the draft is a little slim on them.

I'm not really on the "OMG WHY NO CB???" bandwagon but buying a run stuffing nose in FA costs a fraction of a quality corner in FA, so I would rather we tried to get 4 years of cheap coverage in the secondary than 4 years of cheap NT play from the draft.

Burly butt = hairy anus = Afro Ass

Is that what I’m hearing?

Thanks,

I was happy with the pick.

I wanted him or Tim Settle in the 3rd and though Settle might be better. I'm a Noles homer though so I'm good.

Didn't reach on this pick, good player and good value with the pick. Low center of gravity, good push, solid against the run.

Veach clearly believes in building the defense from the front back and this guy is a pretty damned good NT to build around...:)

From Bob McGinn...

9. DERRICK NNADI, Florida State (6-1, 310, 5.39, 3): Started 37 of 48 games at NT. “Plays strong,” one scout said. “For a short, squatty guy he’s got a little bit of pass rush so you don’t always have to take him off the field. He’s a hold-the-point guy, first and foremost. Pretty instinctive guy.” Finished with 153 tackles (24 for loss) and 11 ˝ sacks. “I like him better than Hurst,” another scout said. “Plays harder. Plays more violent. Hand use and leverage guy.” Parents are Nigerian. Ran a terrible 40. “Tested poorly,” said a third scout. “Pretty good player on tape. Good guy.” From Virginia Beach, Va.

Yea I think Nnadi is a little better of a pass rusher than he’s given credit for.

11.5 career sacks is pretty good for a NT.
