The roster as it stands

I guess because he was just as productive last year as 60% of Clowney's seasons, he's only 25, he showed growth last year, he's probably going to be really cheap, and a tackling dummy is probably an upgrade over Alex Okafor?

I'm not looking at the kid as a long-term starter or superstar. I'm looking at him as a rotational body that at least has some promise to keep getting better. He's built like Emmanuel Ogbah and has a similar career trajectory so far. Like Ogbah and Okafor, he can kick down inside and have some results.

I'd prefer to have that guy with at least some upside to go with a veteran like Ingram or Clowney rather than two guys that are what they are. I mean, you look at Ingram too, Green produced last season as much as Ingram has in any of the past 3 years.

I dunno, I like that. I'm not projecting him to be TJ Watt, lol.

I don't think he was particularly productive. He's a guy who flashes and then disappears for long stretches. He's another Jarran Reed but slightly younger and a DE. I honestly don't see the upside or the value and I'd probably prefer a stopgap that is a consistently strong performer, as I believe Ingram is, over a guy whose performances don't match his top line numbers. If we could get him super cheap, I guess maybe. But if the choice is between him and Ingram and working out the long term answer at DE later, I'll take that.

On the flipside I just registered your point on Okafor and strongly agree. F it, let's get him, I never want to see Okafor take another snap
