Not a sexy pick but I’m not bothered by it.

Much like opposing offensive tackles this season, I'm significantly underwhelmed. :|

Projected to go 43 in the second round. Didn’t start until his senior season but does have 16 career sacks in four seasons at TCU. Not a great pick on the surface and I wouldn’t trade Clark for him but maybe we get lucky and find another player buried in the bag of Joe’s John will drag out of this draft.

He is very similar we did not get an Edge rusher we passed on Sweat.

Pete keeps looking for that 3 technique play wrecker. This is a heavy handed inside/outside beast. Clint Hurtt is probably gonna love him.
His comparison on NFL Network was Michael Bennett.
He is a product of Gary Patterson’s staff at TCU .... so that is the connection.

He is a very physical player, a bully, I like it.
He reminds me of James Harrison, but bigger.
He could kick inside on passing downs. Aaron Donald is smaller than him.
He has a quick first step, and great wiggle, but also still plays extremely physical, very powerful.
Interesting pick.
He is like Mike Bennett in that he is an inside/outside player, but I would say he is more physical than Bennett.
Bennett's instincts were off the charts though. I find it hard to compare other players to Bennett.
It's like saying every crafty, undersized WR is the next Steve Largent.

6 sacks in 2018 with 42 total tackles. Didn't score a top perform award at any drills at the combine.
Maybe this was a selection of finances. I'm kind of underwhelmed. :180670:
*** ERROR Collier did score two top performer awards at the combine. As a DT. My bad

“I love that feeling cause I know offensive linemen don’t like to be hit in the mouth over and over,” Collier said. “I love to do that. I love the physicality of it. I love to be in your face the whole game. I’m not a player who is going to say much, but if you say something to me, I’m going to let you know it’s going to be all game."

Was gonna say this is Bennett like. 34 inch arms on a 6'2 player isn't normal and plays well with his power and center of gravity. Not sure he has the first step that Bennett has, but Bennett wasn't anything to look at combine wise either. Just violent and excellent hand tech.

All the reports I have read say he does not have a quick first step. In fact they said he is slow off the snap but sets the edge against the run really well.Fade":15u16je0 said:

Just another lackluster first round with a bunch of trade backs to get a bag of middle round picks and were so close to winning another Super Bowl because of that strategy right.

Yeah I watch the Patriots move up to the top ten every year for sexy picks and have to agree, we could have been a contender.
Its really hard to judge PC, JS picks early... the national media has embarrassed them selves quite severally in the past Russell Wilson they didnt think he was a good pick... the list is endless... i just think the Hawks have a different criteria and they judge their players differently... so i have no idea we will see how LJ shakes out ..
