Yeah speed is awesome you don't want to be some stiff DE that's not explosive, but if speed is your only asset then you're more than likely not gonna be good in the NFL. Gotta have power and do something at the POA.

As Hero said the QBs are just too athletic and even OTs are getting more athletic.

I see people asking for a speed rusher, but with the increasing number of athletic QBs in the NFL, it's more imperative than ever for the DL to rush as a group and stay within their lanes to box in the QB, especially in the wide 9 with the bubbles in the alignment and the extra space between the players. The 49ers do a great job of this, and that's because it's something Kocurek constantly harps on. They suffocated Dak Prescott in the playoffs by forcing him to play within a tiny pocket. I think this is why they really liked a guy like Ebukam who is athletic as hell and can chase in space but is specifically a power rusher and plays through contact.

What the Niners really need is another edge player that's good(obviously), but preferably one that is strong, violent, and most importantly, is able to win through contact to minimize creating space for the QB to escape through. Athleticism > Speed rusher. Having speed is great, but if that's all they've got, it becomes feast or famine now with the way the league is going. They either 1) get home or 2) give the QB a giant escape lane in the B gap. Remember, the wide 9 more than any other scheme is prone to athletic QBs exploiting space and creating more spaces only exacerbates the issue.

Find me an athletic edge rusher that can win in a phone booth. Someone explosive, powerful, and with violent hands that can win through contact, can consistently get off a block, and help pincer the QB.

No QB in the league exploits speed rushes more than Mahomes. When Bosa went to speed in the SB, he killed us.




Waiting for your edge list Hero

This is a deep discussion on the Edge class. They like Ebiketie too.

I really like Myaji Sanders but damn...dude weighed in the 220s at the combine. He is the size of a SS. In college he listed in the 240s and even that is too small for a DE in the NFL.

He was 242 at the senior bowl, was sick at the combine then back up to 247lbs at his pro-day. Still light but has the frame to gain some LBs. I'd spend a comp 3rd on him and tell him to do some deadlifts/squats. Eat some steaks or something
