If he blows it up at the combine and he is a great character guy he could be the guy at 9.

Character is there from all I've heard. I also wouldn't be shocked if he played it safe to get ready for his you know, career job

I agree. He is my guy at 9
I know the double up is stupid, but if we somehow got Landry and later OO ....
Isn't it time we start collecting pass rushers?
(Interior line and can would have to be addressed in fa and late to mid rounds)
I don't think it's dumb. I'd welcome it. Harold is my pick at 9. And if OO drops a little then I'd take him as well. He brings a different skill set than Landry. If OO drops to the third then we need to take him with one of our picks.
NFL draft profile projects him round 4-5. Not sure how realistic that is.
More pass rushers the merrier. See the jags this year for example.

Nice strong inside move from Harold Landry. Low pad level and good drive through Mitch Hyatt to dip under for the QB hit which forces an interception pic.twitter.com/nRh8gyY1a1

Admittedly higher on Harold Landry than most and a lot of it is because his 2016 tape is saucy pic.twitter.com/glJK0bjku7

Would you consider Landry a more polished prospect to Vic Beasley coming out of the draft?

2nd EDGE today is BC's Harold Landry (6'3 250). Injury riddled 2017 for the senior. Had 38 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 5 sacks, & 2 PBUs in 8 games (16.5 sacks in 16'). Pass rush specialist, quick around edge / low turn. Average v the run. Slightly undersized. Last 1st/2nd Rd pick. pic.twitter.com/jZfEzNoM0a

I need to go back and refresh my memory on Beasley, but I don't ever remember him bending the arc like Landry. Landry's ability to do it is rare. He's right there with some of the freaks. Landry's got one devastating trick up his sleeve and the rest of his game needs to be cultivated.

My youngest son was on the team at BC with him. Says he has a bit of an ego but, he is a really good player.

Just watched college highlights on YouTube and you're right. He had a nice dip but nothing like Landry's. Doesn't seem as physical either. Most of Vic's big plays were him just being a much better athlete than anyone else on the field,

That's pretty awesome your son plays with him. Not a surprise on the ego thing. Most guys at the top of the draft probably do. Otherwise you got a guy like Kevin white that lacked confidence and didn't believe in himself.

Most good players with one move, really have 3 moves, since every move is accompanied by ~2 counters.

I mean a dip and spin move counter sounds good enough lol.

Yeah i don't get why people hate on guys for being a little cocky. Imagine everyone being like Kawhi leonard. It would be so boring.
