I love reading our draft reviews, can't get enough, and it appears Donald is unanimously our best pick from the "experts." Nothing new here, but how they gush over him as a player indiced me to explore a little deeper. I wanted to see how the too schools played him. I ran across Aaron Donald Vs Florida state and came away amazed. It's obvious why they're raving about this pick and absolutely stifling on how he slid to 13. (No idea whatsoever why the Giants passed on him. Really? Odell Beckham? We'll laugh all the way to the Lambardi for years on this... anyway.)
Florida State had constant double teams on him and they rarely ever neutralized him. His combibation low center gravity, quickness, and power were blatantly obvious. Then he had the speed to close the gap very quickly for a DT. People compare him to Geon Atkins, he's faster and quicker with Geno and still has the power. He's a better player, pure and simple.
I really think teams will have nightmares preparing for this group. A flaw in our DL last year was the interior pass rush. QB's were able to step up in the pocket eluding many sacks and yet we still had 53. I don't think QB's have any form of comfort zone playing against us next year. They step back and they're in the teeth of our edge rushers. They step up and Donald-- Carrigan/Brockers lay the the wood. I can see it now...
Kap glares at the OC because he's been lobbying for more screen passes for 2.5 quarters.
The OC throws his hands up in frustration and says "They were only rushing 4."
LOL!!! This is far from fantasy, fellas.
You throw in some exotic looks from Williams and you feel your mouth beginning to salvitate. Tree coming up the middle and Joyner coming off the edge, from the slot, will be pure hell for our opposition.
It's gonna be a long off season, ain't it?
