Braswell is getting a free pass on criticism because the rest of this draft class is so strong. Braswell hasn’t done squat this season. Bad draft pick and heavy reach with a valuable high pick.
A bit early to call a bust but yeah does remind me quite a bit of Noah Spence as far as impact here thus far and an early pick.
Adrian Clayborn comes to mind as well.
Clayborn had 7.5 sacks as a rookie. Braswell has to show something more.
PFF had him at an 88 Sunday, maybe he just needs more reps.
Ramirez and Watts need more reps too. They all look competent playing the run so Bowles needs to man up and rotate them in more when they are all healthy. JTS is what he is and if he wants to use him as a joker drop zone LB that fine. Nelson can disrupt passing lanes and drop in coverage but he isn't going to give you more than 5 sacks per year. Need to see what the other guys with different play styles can do.
Who’s pass rush is more underwhelming ours or atlantas

ATL pass rush is coming alive the last few games so I give them the edge. But Diaby just needs to finish and land sack as he is generating pressures which puts him in the upper half of the league.
He certainly does not look like a pass rushing end
Braswell reminds me of Anfernee Jennings where he is used on strongside of formations for the Patriots to control gaps and stop the run. But Braswell does show more pass rush prowess and ability to engage in pass rush situations.
So I am not so down on Braswell as many others because he is a rookie but I would like to see more from him.
Does Braswell have the frame to convert to will or sam?

Frame, probably. But not enough speed and agility.

I can't remember... Isn't that what Eagles did with Nakobi Dean? Or am I misremembering?
No, Dean played Inside Linebacker at Georgia and is still playing inside as far as I know.
Obviously he's been disappointing but I'll reserve calling him a bust for now. Some guys need time to develop. Will McDonald from the Jets was awful last year and has become one of the better pass rushers this year.

Yeah you're right. Man eagles landed some great picks on defense.
Hes thinking too much as a rookie, because he looks slow out there

He never really played all that fast at Alabama, which is one of the reasons why a lot of us weren't very high on him.
