Had an NFC Personnel executive tell me “He reminds me of J.J. Watt, when Watt was coming out. An explosive and versatile playmaker who has a high motor and can line up at 3,5, or 7. Very strong kid” #NFL#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/5qM3g6OrMr

I agree it’s great , fat finger on thumb’s down [Reply]
We got a guy who's just as good as the #2 overall pick at #30. That's exactly how you sustain long term success in this business. That Tyreek trade is looking better all the time. [Reply]

Just as good? Hutchinson has a 3 sack game already. [Reply]

So George registsed nine pressures against Murray and Herbert and Hutch is better because he actually sacked Carson Wentz three times. That's what your saying, correct? [Reply]

I’m saying that sacks are harder to get and better for your team than pressures.
Also, sacks are not recorded as pressures, so Hutchinson had 9 pressures AND 3 sacks. [Reply]

Hutchinson is probably going to be better, he should be. The question is the margin. He's been up against slightly better OTs I think after 2 games and it's way too early, but at this point the difference doesn't look like it should be nearly a full round. [Reply]

And apart from the draft capital - lost in the 'new rookie slotting' era is that there is STILL a substantial difference in salary from the front of the 1st to the back.
Hutchinson will make $35 million in his first 4 years. Karlaftis will make $12. A $6 million/season difference on the cap ain't worth scoffing at - that's a pretty big deal. [Reply]
Off subject a little, but the Hutchinson pick reminds me of a funny story while in Vegas at the draft…
I stood next to and was talking with a Lions fan right before they selected him. Just before Roger announced the pick, an extremely tall and rude Raiders fan stood right in front of us. The Lions fan firmly stated, “Hell’s Bells! I spend a ton of money to go to Vegas to see my Lions draft just to have some gigantic Raiders fan block my view! The draft is our Super Bowl damn it!”
Due to the crowd appreciating the Lion fan’s humor, everyone laughed and all started yelling “down in front!”. The Raiders fan moved on immediately. [Reply]

There is no disputing that a sack is better than a hit which is better than a hurry.
Unless said hurry results in an eyes closed panic throw into coverage for an int, because playoff sacks are against your religion. -Chris Jones. [Reply]
