And I'm going to hit pause right away because I think there's a scenario here that we could look at.
But let's talk about Latu just a little bit here because this is the type of player that could be a game changer off the edge for you.
I think that we've seen a number of comparisons in recent weeks between him and TJ Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And remember, Watt...
lasted deep into the first round for a number of the same reasons as Latu might in this year's draft.
But the primary reason why Latu is falling or could fall in this draft is due to medical concerns.
He was essentially considered medically retired for a full season
when he was still with the Washington Huskies program.
Now, for the Denver Broncos' sake, you get a private visit with him.
He came to the facility, did a top 30.
Why do players come to the facility for a top 30?
Well, it's not always for good reasons, right?
I mean, you could be considering selecting this player, or maybe you bring in guys to differentiate.
Hey, what do we think about this guy compared to this guy today?
There's questions that need to be answered, typically, when you bring a guy in for a top 30 visit, which the Broncos did for both Verse and Latu.
But I think Latu gives you something off the edge that you don't currently have.
It's somebody who's going to be able to consistently give you a, I'm not going to say sack per game, but he's that type of guy that you can rely on consistent pass rush productivity.
He's very advanced in terms of his overall pass rush skills.
He's got all of the physical traits.
George Payton, in his first draft with the Broncos, he tried to get Jalen Phillips, tried to move back up to get Jalen Phillips, who ended up going to the Miami Dolphins there.
