Harold Landry Boston College DE/OLB

seeing some mocks us taking him at 9 or 10

edge rusher is the biggest need IMO and what are you chances to find a legitimate one after rounds 1 or early 2....

I hope not. No edge in this player is worthy of top 10 butt Chubb.

You don't overdraft based on need. Take BPA and fill in later

I can't see that at all. Sounds like reaching for a need. I'm hoping we can land Ansah so we aren't forced to depend on any of the rookies in this draft. Outside of Chubb, there isn't one that screams elite player to me. I don't see us drafting in the top 10 for awhile, so I'm hoping we get an elite player that falls with the QBs likely to go early.

Landry could be a Vic Beasley/Von Miller type of player when it's all said and done...it would certainly be worth a 9/10 pick. He played with an ankle injury this year but as a rookie he was terrific.

Combine will reveal a lot.

Exactly, everyone has their opinions and we don't how these guys will pan out. The ranking will be different when draft time comes. I remember last year when Jonathon Allen was a top 5 pick and he fell all the way to #17. Combine and injuries will change rankings significantly.

I like Landry and like him as the pick. But it's up to our staff to figure out if he's worth a top 10 pick . They're gonna analyze his tape to death and talk to him over and over again.

He's not a top 10 pick. Chubb is the only edge worth that right now given his durability and every down ability. Landry has injury history and I'm not sure about his ability as a run defender.

Just because it's a position of need doesn't mean we should reach i the first round. If we trade back then sure, but he isn't a top 10 or even 20 payer imo.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see Landry as what we need at the Edge position. Chubb, Key or Ejiofor are.

That's ironic because Landry is exactly the type of edge the team needs. Someone that can dominate the arc to make quarterbacks leery of their drop depth and force them to step up into Defo and Solly.

I've reached for Landry in a mock and I do believe it's a reach. He's supposedly not even gonna measure up to 6'3, 250. Saw an article today that suggested he could drop to 2nd. I think Chubb is the only edge worthy of top 10.

More prospects beyond Landry who fit into this category. We could come away with a player who some will consider a reach but agree with it or not, none of us will have done the extensive work on all these kids to figure out who is the best value for us when we puck.

Right now Landry looks like a reach. But the combine will help sort some of that out.

From Walter Football, for what it's worth...

Harold Landry, OLB/DE, Boston College
Height: 6-3. Weight: 250.
Projected 40 Time: 4.67.
Projected Round (2018): 2-3.
2/3/18: Multiple teams sources told me that Landry belongs on the second day of the 2018 NFL Draft. They labeled his senior year tape was not impressive. Landry had a big drop in his pass-rush production year over year and put together some ugly games in run defense. Sources say that Landry is smaller than his listed numbers of 6-foot-3, 250 pounds, too. They believe he is an inch or two shorter and weighs in the 240s, which makes him more of a linebacker's body type for the NFL. Teams that run a 4-3 defense have concerns about Landry holding up on the edge as he is very undersized to be a base end. More than one NFL source sees Landry as a second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Welp I'd be more than happy for him to play base SAM then.

NFL.com Analyst Bucky Brooks compares Boston College edge-rusher Harold Landry with Denver Broncos star Von Miller.

This is very lofty praise, as Miller is considered by many of the best players in the game. Still, there's a reason why Landry is getting top half of the first-round draft talk by some, and he was a productive player during his time at Boston College. "When I look at Landry's game, he reminds me a lot of Von Miller during his time at Texas A&M," Miller writes. "Now, that is a helluva comparison for a top prospect based on how the Super Bowl 50 MVP has dominated the league as a pass rusher, but Landry's first-step quickness, balance and body control are eerily similar to Miller's movement skills, including the dip-and-rip move that the Boston College star seemingly stole from the Pro Bowl pass rusher."
