The Laiatu Latu Conversation | PFF

“Around pick 15” aged beautifully

And Just like that Colts shock everyone and take him @ 15 and get the possible "best DE of the draft" Colts just don't miss man.

Welcome to the Colts!

He said “the only time this model failed was with Takk McKinley” the falcons drafted Takk.

Can't really expect to have a reasonable conversation about a guy like Latu when there were people legitimately calling Bosa washed because he had 10.5 sacks instead of 18.5 last year. The expectation that anyone picked high automatically needs to be a top 5 guy at their position is also kind of crazy. A great prospect who turns out to be a good player is an awesome investment of a top 10 pick, because chances are that whichever position you're picking that high was not performing well whatsoever the year prior. Basically, the team is going from having a bad [insert position player] to a good one.

You damn right Latu to the Falcons BOOK IT BABY. Best edge in the class and best scheme fit for our team in the draft.

Noone is saying this will happen but I want him to the Bears at 9

He's an enigma. I'd take him in a heartbeat but I'd want to interview him and get him to explain how and why he lost to Fuaga. If he has the will and the strategic thinking he's worth a 1st rounder for sure.

The only thing i heard is against elite tackles llike Fuaga he will struggle because his shorter arms and power? Is there any way he can develop something to counter that?

He’s not the raw athlete like Micah Parsons but he’s bigger and still better than most. He needs to study Parsons though in how to be disruptive and stay balanced for injury prevention, and do a little more than break down the pocket although that’s his bread and butter

The fact that Sam thinks Latu has the best Pass Rush Win Rate they've ever seen is an indictment of his knowledge, especially as an employee of PFF. How the fuck do you get that wrong? "He's good against the run".... yeah you can tell he didn't watch the tape. He mentioned Chase Young and Bosa specifically, both of them DID eclipse Latu in Pass Rush Win Rate in 2019 and 2017 respectively. Josh Allen destroyed him. Bralen Trice had the same win rate in 2022.

Latu to the Lions

The guy on the right has a unique way of pronouncing the "a" sound in words such as "hands", "standpoint", "pass", "van", etc.

They say assuming makes an ass out u and me. Acting like retiring with a medical injury means nothing its just an irresponsible approach. You clearly don't stand to lose your job over this decision. Also not considering the level of talent of competition is irresponsible. Calling Chase Young a hit is just downright idiot talk. Stick to baseball.

I dont care about the injury! Players can get hurt anytime! His floor is a pro bowler.... u take him anyway! He gets hurt oooo well! It like Joey bosa u not got take him....u take him anyway
