Some prospects I love, and where I love them.

So I have a theory on these kinds of things and what you rather "not have" in a prospect there.

Can you develop bend? Is that one of those innate things like accuracy for a qb that you can tweak and improve somehwat, but it's more of a "you have or you don't" things?

I think speed to power and strength is something you can add to a rusher. I'm not sure you can really improve bend.

I wouldn't give up a 3rd to move up for this guy at 20. No way. We need speed and bend and I think you can get a situational rusher type like that late 1st and into the 2nd. They won't have his all round package but they'd give us what we need.

I'd think it's more of a natural trait than something you can really coach up. You can improve it a bit through technique, but the natural ability level is important.

All the reports I've seen on him are that he CAN bend and that he has speed to burn.

Yeah, especially with the realization that anyone you take there is gonna have some holes in their game otherwise you woudln't be getting them there.
