Fowler Jr. likes Rob Ryan's scheme.

VegasSaint9 · 02-20-2015, 05:52 PM

This guy has steadily creeped up draft boards and his combine numbers probably will make him a top 5 pick. I hope we get him he sounds like a good player for our defense.

Fowler is starting to grow on me. I like the fact that he's versatile and a 6'3" 260 lb. athletic linebacker sounds better than a 230 lb. tweeter who can't defend the run.

I've watched tape on this guy and the first thing that jumped out at me is how quick he gets into the backfield for a guy listed at 260 pounds.

He gets to the QB in a hurry and looks to be relentless in pursuit, I like that trait in a defender.

I would not be disappointed if he was our pick.

So you're OK with ignoring ILB, CB and OL?

I've got a feeling we may address at least one of those spots in free agency.

I'd like us to address ILB in the draft with someone like Denzel Perryman but I guess it will come down to BPA always!

sorry i can get so giddy about jumping on this band wagon still

oh yeah he can fill up a high light reel but it the crap edited out that worries more. dude stands around a lot and show little effort in back side pursuit.

I red flag his motor and overall desire.

6'3" 260 is not that big to play DE in a 34. 43 all day

lee909 · 02-21-2015, 06:27 AM

Just get Brandon Scherff or La'el Collins and be done with it

jeanpierre · 02-21-2015, 08:06 AM

Scherff demonstrated less than impressive work on the bench press and pulled a muscle running the 40 and was unable to perform other drills which leads to the question, can this guy play 16 games?

Fowler has a questionable motor, took off waaay too many plays...

lee909 · 02-21-2015, 08:28 AM

He hasnt missed a game in two years and only missed the games in college when recovering from a dislocated ankle and broken fibula.Its not like he has a long history of injuries preventing play.

He didn't impress me on the bench either, looked weak. I would want a bulldozer if we would take an O-lineman at 13. I pass.
