Again, lots to like about Beasly, lots to be concerned about - did not realize he was only 235, thought he was in the 240's. Writer compares him to Bruce Irvin. Strikes me as player with potentially high ceiling but possibly maxing out as a 3rd down specialist.
As I have said, all the OLB guys strike me as risky. Fowler the least but, like Schneed said, he seems to be more of a Kerrigan player that lacks explosion. Gotta say, none of these OLB guys makes me feel particularly confident spending the 5th pick on them. |
I have no problem with Beasly being 235 or 240. You could have Murphy in on run downs and bring in Beasly on pass downs. Pure explosive, speed pass rushers can change the game, get the defense off the field and cause sack/fumbles. We don't have a player like this, a Robert Quinn type of guy.
If they feel he's that kind of player then draft him. I'd much rather have that type of player than a big strong guy that isn't explosive. Seattle's defense has interchangeable players.
