Thoughts on Clelin Ferrell?

According to several sites, he could fall in the draft and be available at 26. If he’s there, do you take him? Curious since he seems to be the edge prospect no one is talking about.

I lke Clelin Farrell. He is my 4th best DE in the draft behind Allen, Sweat, and Bosa. I don’t see why people aren’t talking about him more. Maybe its because players like Sweat, Bosa, and Allen are getting most of the hype.

 

 

What I like about him is, his ability to stop the run AND rush the passer, his long arms which allows him to get strip sacks, and his relentless motor which allows him to run down QBs. 

[CheezyColt]

Absolutely.  I've been seeing him slip in mocks as well.  If he's there at 26, I'd be more than happy if Ballard selected him.

[Scott Pennock]

If he is available at 26 you draft him.

 

That is my thought....lol

[WoolMagnet]

I thought he was ok in Alexander.

Have you seen "The Lobster"?  Probably his greatest role.

If Ferrell is still there at pick 26.....   then Run, don't Walk the card up to the commish for the announcement.

 

I'd be thrilled if we got lucky enough to get him.     Don't see it happening.

 

Hope I'm wrong.

They should just yell it to him. He'll understand.

Lol. I just asked because I know pass rush is a need but I also know how people are skeptical of Clemson edge rushers since Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd. I think Ferrell is being undervalued because he may not be the same level of athlete as guys like Bosa, Sweat, Gary, etc...

I keep seeing a WR mocked to us at 26 I hope not especially because most of the time they have them taking Harry im not impressed by him so if Farrell does make it to colts pick you don't think about it you pick him end of story.

I figured as much, but, the talent and production are there so pull the trigger!

Pull trigger

Im really hoping we can snag Preston Smith. And if by some act of God Ferrell is there at 26 then pull the trigger again.

That’d be a very crowded DE room. Sheard (in his last year though), Smith, Turray, Lewis, and Ferrell. Depth at edge rusher is good but that’d be a lot of resources comitted for one position group.

I believe that Lewis will be part of a rotation on the inside

 

DL is a place where you need fresh guys

He’s too small to really be effective there. His last listed playing weight was 266. Hrs better on the edge unless he puts on weight.

Yeah but their plan for Lewis is a 3 Tech so they can move him inside like they had plans to do anyway.  He's not too small, Autry is the same size and there's nothing uncommon for a player that is 6'3" playing at a higher weight around 280-290 if necessary. He may even already be at that weight.

Disagree completely. Whether he was 5 or 10 pounds heavier who cares. If he can play with speed and slip the gap quickly then great. Use that and allow him to get reps.
