FA in 2018? DaQuan Jones 34DE Titians 6036 322 5.35 4th Round 2014 2014 - $3/4 M Titian under value him because he is used as a 2 down run stuffing 34DE. I have been keeping an eye on him since he was drafted. He is a very good run defender, ranked 16th among DL in the NFL in 2016. He holds up well against double teams and demonstrates the ability to occupy one or even two gaps. He just eats up blocks and allows teammates to make plays is what this defense needs up front. He will demand double teams. Jordan and Rankins would love having this guy between them. As would the LBs. OL are getting to the second level way to easily. Has experience playing 1-tech and 3-tech in a 4-3 along with nose tackle and 5-tech in a 3-4. He collapse the pocket as a pass-rusher, making it harder to step up. He is a proven commodity that can make the switch back to 1-tech DT with ease. The time spent as a 2 down 34 DE only helped him improve his pass rushing skills making him a 3 down 1-tech DT. He has a solid swim and a few counter moves now. I have my 2018 "Ugly Big Bang for the Bucks" FA to ![]() DL is never a pretty signing or draft pick Nick Fairley Potential Out: 2019, 2 yr, $14,000,000; $4,000,000 dead cap Now we hope a DE steps up. We got a lot youth there. If not just keep drafting them. I am leaning towards Bradley Chubb DE N.C. State 6031 273 4.86 #9 Sr Jalyn Holmes DE OSU Sr, 6045 265 4.76 #10 Sr |
