James Lynch DT/DE Baylor

[Dolphinator530]

Mentioned him in a few places but really like his game and fit for this defense. Big strong guy at 6'4" 295lbs who seems to have a lot more quickness than you would think, as he shoots gaps well. Played the entire line and has the strength to play from 1-5 technique. His hands are strong and active plus his motor seems to be non stop. Takes a lot of double teams and cut blocks and keeps pushing hard. A bit rough with pass rush moves, but seems to be a sure tackler especially in the backfield. Holds up at the point of attack and can hold the edge directing the play back inside, dont think his ceiling is crazy high but this guy can and will play in the NFL. He definitely blew up this year and came into his own and what I like the most is he didn't rack up numbers against horrible competition, he did dominate them as he should but also played great games vs Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas State which btw was an 8 win team plus had a decent bowl game vs UGA.

Against...
Oklahoma in 2 games had - 8 tackles 3TFL 2 Sacks 1PD 2FF 1FR
Texas - 2 Tackles 2TFL 2 sacks 1PD
K State - 5 Tackles 4TFL 3 Sacks 1FF
UGA - 2 tackles 1TFL 1 Sack (while he didnt face Thomas or Wilson the back ups at UGA are NFL talent along the line)

Think he is a 2nd round guy all in all; would be a nice pick at 2A maybe. But with Carolina ahead of us and his old college coach there now I doubt he makes it but an intriguing prospect none the less.
