Vernon was told we will play 4-3, will he be opposite Wake?

Also had 20 + tackles for losses. It will take some work but he may make a good 4 / 3 DE. The sack total is misleading. I've watched every game he played and he was VERY disruptive and always in the back field. Needs to add a few pounds and sharpen up his tech for the pros.

I'm a Nole, but my family is all canes and I have seen a lot of Vernon. I think your analysis is pretty spot on, he just needs some coaching and girth and he could be a force for us.
 
People saying he's not a pass rusher need to stop focusing on the stats. The guy has all the tools to be a talented pass rusher and he should have done better in Miami (hell that entire team should have done better, had a lot of raw talent on it). Philbin has already stated that he will lean to raw talent equally in comparison to experience when evaluating guys as he likes to bet on his staff to coach these guys up.

Gotcha. So we now have projects in two of our first four picks?
Two guys that need to first learn their position?


Pardon me for being far from estatic

He's not really a project, he's just really raw. Everyone besides the top prospects (Luck, RG3, Blackmon, Kalil) are projects from one extent to the other. His ceiling is huge, and he shows multiple moves. He has good hand movement, he's laterally quick. He's not a bursting athlete but he's the same type of athlete as Mark Anderson (formerly of the Patriots)

He's also a pretty good run stopper.
