Was always intrigued by this guy, never fully scouted him though. Can't give an opinion either.

I really would have preferred Mike Daniels for a pass-rushing DT. But I assume Pete knows what he is doing.

Not a great pick but not a bad pick. May not see alot of action this year but he could develop into a nice pass rushing DT for us.

He fits the range, and should be a good run stopper.

I was thinking of someone completely different when we first made the pick. Just decided to get up and take a look at my notes on Jaye Howard and the pick isn't as bad as I initially thought.

For those that care about it, Howard had a 0.94 explosion rating (Fletcher Cox had 0.88, Coples had 0.92, Crick 0.90) and a 0.81 agility rating which was among the best in the class at his position.

Definitely a late round Pete pick. Great athleticism and he has potential if we can work on his overall strength and technique. I expect him to be moved around from UT to LDE, but I imagine his main position is going to be Red's backup with the type of athleticism he can bring to the edge while also having the size capable to man it.

Jaye Howard interview

Says he played every single position on the line at Florida.

Favorite thing to do is rush the passer.

He's got a lot of natural ability but looked lazy to me in college. So was Alan Branch however. Hopefully we can get something out of him

yea, pete carroll's competition should take care of that laziness. If not....we'll know when he doesn't make the team. That's what i love about the competition, it helps you know what your dealing with pretty quickly in my book.

I really don't think it's laziness.

Dan Quinn raved about the kids work ethic and he was the defensive captain on Florida this past season. You don't name a lazy guy team captain.

He just plays with overall poor technique and weakness really. Once a linemen gets his hands engaged Howard just cannot fight him off for the most part.

Howard said he learned a good deal of technique from Quinn in his last year where otherwise the staff didn't focus on it. Maybe more repetitions with technique and time in the weight room will help him, but I'll just say my standards are low for this selection.
