Sheldon Cooper Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I found a DE that I like. He only had 5.5 sacks while a lot of other guys had 12 or 13. I like his motor and quickness. He may not declare though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synaptic apoptosis Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 This guy is one of my favorite DE in this draft. He reminds me of Abraham a little. I think if he can get a little stronger and put on a few more pounds he will be the real deal. His production suffered this year because Auburn was just sorry all the way around. But the guy has Elite get off, and a very good motor. I am really hoping we are able to grab him, he could be a real steal in the second round for somebody.

AEFalcon Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 CBS Sports has his 40 yard time as 4.78 but I swear he plays waaay faster than that. Agree, AU was terrible this year. His stats prior to BVG arrival were much better. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospectrankings/2013/DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinson Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He would be a great player. His stock has fallen so he should be available to take with our second round pick. That is if doesn't run a 4.5 at the combine like Bruce Irvin did last year. Lemonier will probably only be able to play 3rd downs only because he doesn't have the power to stop the run yet. I would love to have him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam25 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 From the tape I've seen he looks solid, I wouldn't mind him at all in the second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon90 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I have heard of him, just never watched tape of him. Imma look him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennesaw77 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He is horrible against the run. Not a big fan of his but he is athletic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiac Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He has one weapon and it's a speed rush. He doesn't have any power to him at all.Even though I was wrong about Irvin looking back I underestimated just how developed his counter move back to the inside was, Lemonier doesn't have one and that's a huge problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEFalcon Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 It's official. He will enter the draft. For me, the more DEs in the draft the better. Just makes it deeper for us. Maybe he fits Nolan scheme, maybe not. Maybe another DE that fits our scheme will now be available because another team that needs a DE drafts him rather one of our targets. Now we need more OG to enter the draft early......Hurts AU as they loose one of their more talented DE and their best pass rusher.http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2012/12/corey_lemonier_says_hell_leave.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that you underestimated how developed his counter move was, it's that you underestimated the guys ability to be taught. Same thing, with Lemonier. The guy has gone against top notch competition and performed well. He isn't the best run defender, but you get him in the game situationally until his strength is built a bit. Plus, he looks like a guy that could be used in a hybrid scheme like we use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'd take a gamble on him honestly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam25 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think taking him in the first is a bit of a reach for a project type player. I would for sure take him in the second to develop and be the opposite guy to Abe, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-TowN.- Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The thing is that I am not sure we have time to develop anyone anymore. Especially if we want him opposite of Abe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam25 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I want to take this time to extract my current comment that he would have to be developed, I watched around 20 video's against top teams and this guy can play, He has a variety of moves to get to the quarterback, is quick off the snap and to me he seems like he is good not great against the run. I think he will improve his draft stock at the combine and can add around 10-15 pounds more of muscle mass to become stronger, he is 6'4 250 right now and he has a solid bull rush, all that being said ..... I would definitely take him with a late first and have him start day one, the kid is solid and he has a big motor and can sniff out screen and chases down RB's and WR's never gives up on a play as well, has room to grow for sure.

I think he could be had with our 2nd round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way the kid plays and could be solid if we get some girth at DT as well to help out the pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe with a little nfl coaching and strength training the guy will be the real deal. Had he Not been on the black hole that is auburn, and been a little more productive he would be a first round pick. You don't have a 10 sac season in the sec by accident. I think the whole Auburn team just gave up this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam25 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Trading back to get an extra second rounder would be the ideal way to get himagreed, and I would do that for sure, Yea it seems like everyone on Auburn did, I think with a positive attitude and a mike nolan style defense he could get the most out of him.

stumpjumper Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Is it possible Nolan drafts a larger DE to run a more 3-4 look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon90 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Is it possible Nolan drafts a larger DE to run a more 3-4 look? Maybe but if maybe he could get a big NT and put like Babs at DE. Also how has Robertson been playing for us. I have not seen him. I know he played in the Detroit game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinson Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Is it possible Nolan drafts a larger DE to run a more 3-4 look?Its possible but this guy would play OLB in a 3-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-TowN.- Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I think Lemonier could be a 4-3 DE and 3-4 OLB. But I would trade back and pick him in the 2nd definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
