The attached is a rather lengthy analysis of edge rushers in general and a detailed rational as to why Owa is the best front seven prospect in the draft.
by Eric Stoner
"What if I told you that the most complete front-seven player in this draft class played in Los Angeles?
Not too controversial of a statement, really. USC defensive lineman Leonard Williams is viewed almost unanimously as not only the top defensive player in the draft, but the best player regardless of position. Williams might not even be the best defensive prospect in his own city, however. And that’s not necessarily a slight on him as much as it is praise for the exceptional talent of UCLA’s Owa Odgidhizuwa." |

Not a writeup for those with ADHD.
I think the Giants got a real good player if his little hips are OK. He has some really powerful legs to get up and drive into a lineman if needed.
Maybe they know what they're talking about - ( New Window )

I've been a football fan for a long time and don't get the opportunity to learn from knowledgeable guys often enough. Most guys who want to talk football don't have the kind of insight that scouts have. The videos he makes where he and someone else breaks down the tape of a player over and over again are pretty cool for a guy like me. I always feel like I'm learning something.

Agree^^^. More people here should check out those film room episodes before becoming so cock sure that Kiper, McShay, Boylehart or anyone else is so right in their opinion.
Yeah but good odds the hip surgeries are a big part of the reason for that. He was off some teams' boards altogether because of those surgeries.
Who knows .... Justin Tuck was a 3rd round pick? And, Mark Bavaro was a 4th round pick? .... both because of injuries.
It is all a crap shoot - fingers crossed.

we have a number of ends that can play weak side DE, contain run and rush, in such a line,
or a 5 line w/the extra man on the weak side.
it would present a situation that most teams will not have faced, high quality athletics on the inside.
E: Yeah, you’ve convinced me on that. He’s probably not winning off a regular alignment where he’s just slightly outside shade of the offensive tackle. You’ve either gotta move him in or out.
You have to read through the whole thing, not just the good stuff in the beginning.
