I'm not crazy about the top-end talent rushing the passer. Hughes is tempting, but I have a feeling some better value picks will be there with our 2a pick. If he's still around by 2b, I take a hard look at him, to be honest. I also like Miller a lot, but... I don't know, I typically don't like pass-rushers in the draft, I don't know why. I know you have to draft them but I almost never seem to like them when I study them.
Probably my favorite passrusher in this draft is O'Brien Schofield from Ohio State. The only thing he does is get in the backfield, and that's what I think this team needs. He'd be a solid 3rd in my opinion, and if he tests really well I can see someone reaching for him earlier.
I think the real passrushing talent in this draft is in the midrounds. Some guys that can be Dumervil-type pass-rushing specialists can be good depth and we can draft some elite guys in the next couple years after.
