Love the pick!
Top defensive player on my Rams board.
Watched the draft with a huge FSU fan who raved about his personality and character.

No. Quinn could really bend and had a variety of moves. He was great with his hands. Verse is more of a power rusher.
It’s actually considered a pretty shallow draft class
I’d have to think the Falcons going for Penix allowed this to happen.
Yeah… it is.
Have no clue what yahoo you guys listen to (Albright?) judging by others that say that, but it’s a deep ass class. Especially areas we could add someone of quality.
Difference between those that listen to personalities rather than scout themselves to come to conclusions.

Agreed. What is interesting with Verse is he doesn't have a very well developed assortment of techniques. It's bullrush, inside move, swat an occasional hand when he takes it wide.
So what happens when the Rams start teaching this dude some shit. Hopefully fireworks.
Physically talented, intelligent, personable, has an ex-Marine Dad as a mentor... Verse has all the hallmarks to make a fine professional athlete. Glad we got him.
They did a good job tonight. If they're gonna be up for round two I'll be tuned in with them.
We have seen road grader blockers before. This is a Road Grading Edge Rusher who pancakes his targets with extreme prejudice.
I'm glad Kobie is 'rolling out the red carpet' welcome for the former 'Gator. Verse will be added to the friendly sack competition with Kobie and Agent Zero.

Yeah it is. His takes are on point too. Not a surprise really, dude knows what he's talking about. Doesn't seem too comfortable, he's the odd one out lol, but it works.

You are literally only the second person I've heard say that, and the other one was another member of this forum. Every draft person that I have read or listened to has said that this is not a very deep draft class.

A bit of an interesting tale of the tape with Jared Verse:
He crushed the broad jump testing in the 92nd percentile and did well in the vertical (71st percentile).
But he did poorly in the 3 cone (32nd percentile) and not great in the shuttle (43rd percentile).
Many swear by the 3 cone as a measure for success for pass rushers. A sub-7.0s 3 cone is desired. Jared tested at 7.31s.
His metrics show that he is explosive with great lower body strength but not necessarily super agile or possessing quick change of direction.
His tape backs up the raw explosiveness and power. He doesn’t necessarily look stiff on film but you wouldn’t say his bend or agility stands out.
I think the Ryan Kerrigan comp is fair. Or a more explosive ZaDarius Smith. His floor is high.

I'm fine with the pick, but still preferred Newton in a trade back. Verse was the Rams guy at nineteen according to Jourdan. But if they were trying to trade back it tells me he was 'the must have guy'. The must have guy apparently was too costly to move up for.
I see Verse as a more aggressive Leonard Floyd. Floyd worked out well with the Rams, so I imagine Verse will be a good addition. I love his combination of relentless news and power.

There is plenty of talent in this class, and I’ve seen plenty that have said as much that are pretty credible.
That’s outside of doing my own assessment of watching what I can of the players that catch my attention. Going to be some pretty good gems late in this draft.
Go Noles!
Dude is a beast. I watch every FSU game and I can remember thinking that this guy is a top 5 draft pick and we'd never have a shot at landing him. I'm very surprised.

I think he's a perfect compliment to Young
