Neither Paye nor Oweh currently have any idea how pass rushing works. Oweh's way more likely to get it because he's longer, faster, and more explosive. It doesn't matter where a player is drafted, or how many were drafted at his position in front of him. To your point on QBs, Joe Montana wasn't even a first rounder and was the 4th QB taken in his class, he did pretty okay. You know who else was the 5th QB taken in their class? Dan Marino, he turned out pretty okay, too.



Ojulari has a rush plan on any given play and absolutely demolished the 17th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, go watch the game if you'd like. I don't care that his RAS is lower mostly because of his size and bench scores. I didn't, and still haven't, seen Paye's 3 cone time, because I can't find it anywhere, but I highly doubt it was better than Oweh's 6.9.



I don't understand the reluctance of teams to take OTs in this draft, but I am certain it is not a talent gap. This is the best OT class by far in some time.

Video of Kwity Paye's legendary 3 cone drill just surfaced and it's amazing. His time of 6.37 seconds would be the second greatest in combine history (Jordan Thomas, 6.28). Wish we could see him run the drill laser timed at this year's NFL Combine.
