Wat?
Davidson is a starter at DE and where was he ranked as a WDE? On the 247 composite he was the #4 SDE in the class of 2016 LINK
For a guy that weighs 285, he's not half bad at rushing the passer though
Weird. When you click on his profile it says WDE.

Yeah we will. It'll hurt this season but (and I know this sounds homerish) I believe Derrick Brown can end up just a little better than Adams. On paper Brown is an Adams clone:
Derrick Brown- 6'5" 315
As a recruit #9 overall, #5 DT, #1 in Georgia
Montravious Adams- 6'4" 310
As a recruit #10 overall, #3 DT, #2 in Georgia
And they have a similar playing style. I think Brown is a little more athletic though.
But the reason I feel Brown will be better is effort. The knock on Adams by NFL scouts (and AU fans) is that he didn't give a ton of effort until his senior year when he was looking to earn some money and raise his draft stock. Scouts said his junior and senior film is night and day effort wise. He took plays off but one scout said he basically took his whole junior year off. This is keeping him from being a sure fire 1st rounder, although his combine has some mocks starting to put him late 1st now.
Brown didn't get tons of playing time because of our depth at DT, but he got a decent amount and he always gave 100% on every play. If he was in the game, you knew it.
Interesting. That might explain why I didn't notice him at all in 2015
If he ends up as good as or better than Adams then there should be little to no drop off in run defense for y'all.

Don't forget Andrew Williams for Auburn as well, who might end up being our best DT. He got a ton better last year and rushes the passer well from in there.
The post about pass rush is right. That is really the only question. We have some true freshmen and a converted LB that we may use at BUCK to be pass rush specialists. I think Holland and coe can do it as well, but it'll be a group effort more than a one man show like Lawson could be. Big thing is I think our DTs will be involved, and outside of Russell who is a cloggers they all can do it. I think if we get the passer we'll it'll be more of a pocket collapsing front than an Arden Key, Lawson type terror coming from the edge every time
