Reports are that Dallas was about to pick Takk, so can't be mad at TD for trading up to get the guy Quinn wanted.

I love the passion. Drops a F-bomb and two Goddamn's, then shouted "GONNA GET TO THE QUARTERBACK!" a couple times on national TV.

ROFL

Dude is already ready to run through a brick wall for a sack. And he really loved his grandma. How can you not like this kid?

Takk McKinley Highlights

So here's a bit on him...

In the last two seasons, starting in 24 games, he played 95% of every defensive snap, and only had TWO missed tackles total. 80 solo tackles, 99 total tackles, 26 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks, 10 pass breakups, and 5 forced fumbles.

In 2016, Takk's 10 sacks, 11 QB hits, and 37 QB hurries, for a total of 58 pressures, led all of college football in pressures.

He doesn't have any finesse or a spin move or really any pass rushing moves at all. What he does have is a ridiculously fast first step, 35" arms that he swats around, and he just sheds blocks like they're nothing, and can either bullrush an OL or simply beats them around the edge with crazy speed.

It's going to be fun watching these two guys rush the passer.

If we get a quality player today at guard, I am OK. I don't like giving up the 3 in a very deep draft but Quinn really wanted this guy. There is a video out there of Quinn after talking to him on the phone post the pick and he is really pumped. The LB coach also had him for a year at UCLA so they knew what they were getting into.

If we get 2 starters out of this draft which I think we will, I am OK.

Good stats, sounds like he has a little developing to do, but DQ and his staff should be able to coach him right up. Cant teach tenacity and attitude
