Originally posted by OnTheClock:While on paper, it did seem like a reach, I think that was more due to a lot of mocks that I personally thought were a little whack in their predictions. When you look at the make-up of the other edge defenders, he fits a certain mold that the others really don't. I was never a big fan of Josh Allen.
As of yesterday, my order of edge rushers would've been: Bosa, Burns, Ferrell, Sweat (if the medical was a misdiagnosis), and then Allen based on my opinion of these guys in terms of overall talent and polish as pure DEs. Ferrell going 4 instead of 5-15 isn't that much of a reach to me. People had him falling I think more because of what they thought other teams would do at other positions I think, and less because of his talent level.

Ferrell is a very good pick.
Gruden and mayock had him ranked up there with Bosa.
