@cyclops Apparently the 2019 QB class isn't that great so a lot of teams are trying to get a QB this year instead of having to wait until 2020 or 2021.

Not good news for Michael Bennett, although I'm a bit suspicious about this.

Funny response by the Blake Bortles Facts' account though.

Apparently Suh is headed to the Rams.
And rumours are that the Rams are chasing OBJ..

Heck that's a stacked team

Not good for the QBs in the NFC West who all have bad Olines. #prayforsambradford

The Rams are going all in and they don't care if they potentially have the worst locker room in the league.

He was bad in Miami. Was that about him losing it or the Dolphins?

For some reason, that's the perception, but he was still really good in Miami.

In the last 3 years, these were his rankings in key stats amongst all defensive tackles.

Sacks: 5th
QB Hits: 4th
QB Hurries: 2nd
Total Pressures: 4th

He's also close to the best amongst DTs as a run defender.

Alongside Aaron Donald, QBs will struggle to have much of a pocket against the Rams.

Suh was bad for Miami relative to his contract/expectations. I think he was the highest paid defensive tackle in the league, but his production didn't match the pay cheque.

This was a case of the contract being bad, but not the player. He was still a top DT, but the contract was just so big, it was always a tough one to live up to. The only DT who could probably play up to that contract is Aaron Donald.

The Rams are turning it around very quickly but here's hoping it implodes with too many alpha-males in the locker room.

A bit of an update on league boy, Jordan Mailata, who is trying to get drafted. Apparently he did well at his pro day.

I can see him being an undrafted free agent and just being a camp body, but hard to see him being anything more. His athleticism for his size will be intriguing for some teams to want to at least take a look at him.

I'm wondering what position they'd try him out in. You'd normally associate someone with his size with either an offensive tackle or defensive tackle.
