Kiper has Bucs getting Kerrigan at #20

[nubcake]

"He's a guy who comes hard play after play. There is never any letup. He doesn't take any downs off.""

That's the part I really liked to hear the most. There are very few DEs in the league who can get by on technique alone. Most truly successful guys are the ones that just attack relentlessly with speed. Eventually they're going to blow by the lineman they're facing, and even when they don't they generally provide enough pressure to scare the QB as well as other offensive linemen, which in turn should take pressure off of McCoy and others.

This might be a guy we'd have to trade up a few spots for. It was questionable with Freeman and Benn, but I really wouldn't feel safe about Kerrigan dropping to us at 20. I'd definitely try to move up in the 15-18 range if I was Dom and I had my eye on Kerrigan.

Everyone is right. If Kerrigan is our guy and he is there past 15. I don't want to give up to much because i'd be happy with Clayborne as well at 20 but we need to invest highly in our DE position. I love high energy DEs and that sounds like that is what Kerrigan is.

Kerrigan = stud
Clayborn = dud

[jerseybucsfan]

Agreed, ZZ. We'd have to give up a third and a fifth to move up to 15 from 20. If we decide to trade JJ, we could recoup a fourth or fifth. Other options:
Trade down in the second. This could hurt our ability to draft LB, Oline or Safety help, but it could add a third or fourth.
Trade down in the fourth.
Of course if you're looking to trade up to only 16 or 17, you make your life a lot easier. But then again 17 would mean trading with New England and any deal with them won't come cheap.

Its really gonna depend on what teams in front of us want. If DE is what other teams want we may miss out. There is also still free agency that changes a lot of things as well as far as teams needs. Should be really interesting how everything shakes out. With that all said, I hope we somehow end up with this guy. I think a high motor guy next to McCoy would do wonders for our defense. If his stock rises and some teams are waiting for him. It may be a good idea to trade up and get him. I think he would be fan favorite as well.

Never heard of him, but anything that improves the pass rush I'm all for. Don't really follow college football to closely, just a casual fan of college.

God Kerrigan is such a beast. I love his motor and would real ecstatic if we got him at #20.

[bullg8rdaddy]

Hopefully he is there at 20 but I don't know. I didn't think he was mock was very good or accurate.

And I didn't think your was post was very good or accurate.

oops meant his mock lol

I am not as down on Clayborn as some are but I have no problem with Kerrigan either.  I think he has the talent to consistenly provide pressure on the QB and his non-stop motor and work ethic would be welcomed

[dalbuc]

Given that pass rush is what makes the money for a 4-3 DE I'm not sure why Kerrigan is rated lower than some of the other DE's who seem to lack his ability to get to the QB.

[tbc_bucs]

37.5 sacks in college... I can live with that. Doubt it happens though.

[Hate]

i like the non stop motor

[specopload1]

I coveted Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas and Suh...no comment on Kerrigan...OK what the hell...GET KERRIGAN BUCS...PLEASE!
