    Knock on his run game was mostly about his tendency to move in too quickly when more often than not he should just set the edge.

    We were unbelievably lucky to get him in mid third. Found ourselves another one to light it up for 10+ years.

    Yeah I see that. You know he just wants to go make the play. The boy is hungry as hell. Sometimes it bites him because he has such a great motor that he just lets it carry him away sometimes. 

    I think Suggs is gonna really take this guy under his wing and help make him something special. I look forward to a lot of "bicep bumps" between him and sizzle when they bookend a qb over and over

    I love the pick.. Just curious who it was.  Would rather see people post "highlights" of the players going against other great prospects.

    He generated some great pressure against germain ifedi last year for 4 quarters and escaped a good engagement to get the sack on a rollout with a great spin. 

    Its on draftbreakdown. That was all I could find as far as great tackles go

    Williams was never a starter in college and typically just played on passing downs. Not sure I see him stepping up in playing level and starting in the NFL against better competition. He will probably just be a 3rd down pass rusher for a couple years. 

    Side note: we really love drafting old guys for some reason. Read Bowser and Williams are already 24 years old. I seem to remember that we recently drafted a guy or two that were extremely old, also.

    His run defense is highly underrated. He has shown some solid ability there when given the chance. He just was too valuable with fresh legs and Saban could afford to sit him on run downs.

    and even if he never becomes a run defender, who cares lol. We drafted homeboy to get the qb, and he does that as well as anyone in the draft not named Myles Garrett. 

    Fun number, he had a sack for every 10-11 snaps over 2 seasons. That INCLUDES run snaps.

    He isn't slow and he has deceptive speed, but he isn't a great accelerator and he isn't blazing like a John Ross.

    I'd say he's a deep threat.

    I agree. I noted all this in the couple times I mocked him to us, but NFL.com scouting reports before he combine literally started with "one word comes to mind with Isaiah Ford... speed" and I was like lolwut.

    I think teams view Isaiah Ford as a guy who cant beat press coverage because of his size. He also doesnt have great long speed

    I never understood why scouting reports all said he had this great deep speed and was a natural deep threat. I said day one he's gonna fall due to his lack of speed. The the combine came and he did fall because apparently nobody noticed he was slow on tape?

    I think we'll go with your guy

    Told you we wouldn't. 

    I like the pick though. But unquestionably Ford could bring a bigger upgrade. He's a pro ready receiver with great routes and catch radius and natural hands, and does well on deep balls, with quick release ability. 

    Why is he still available and why wouldn't we take a wr who does exactly what we need? Smh. 

    Elemuenor is a great pick though

    good enough to stop NE ding dong against us?

    Absolutely. We have the ideal defense for stopping the short pass. One thing Humphrey does well, is get downhill and absolutely lay the hammer on guys, jimmy does it well also, and with our safety tandem we have the support in place for it. Guys like Mosley, bowser, Jefferson, Judon, and urban are all great pass defenders in their own ways, they play close and some shallow drop really well to cut off hot reads, urban is a monster at getting tall and cluttering throwing lanes, judon does it well also.
