  1. Quick off the snap Braswell is in that 2nd tier of EDGE rusher in this class graded similarly to Kneeland, Chop and Jonah Ellis. Very good combination of both power and speed with a big bulky 251lb frame that can even be developed a step further. A pure athlete at the EDGE spot his hand usage and bend are very good for his size along with his versatility as he was used as a old school 3-4 OLB that would rush the passer but also held his responsibility in coverage. Very good power moves and is extremely fluid when making contact. You can see similarities to Will Anderson Jr in his game but he isn’t the level of player Anderson Jr is yet. For the Bucs Braswell will come into the team opposite of Yaya Diaby and make a athletic fun duo on the EDGE with Braswell being able to dip into coverage as well we could see Braswell taking Barrett’s old role with Diaby dipping into JPP’s role as a hybrid 3-4 OLB/DE when needed allowing for major burst in out pass rush with Diaby, Vea, Kancey and Braswell.

    Love this pick this is my Braswell Eval he comps similar to Will Anderson Jr! Also I GOT A PREDICTION RIGHT

  2. For those who haven’t seen it, Chris is a featured player in The Cost of Winning documentary on HBO. That’s where I first learned of him, and I’ve followed him through his time at Bama. I think he will be a solid contributor on the D-line!

  3. As a Bama fan, this guy was underrated nationally because of names like Will Anderson and Dallas turner, but not by our fan base! Dudes a beast!

  4. Idk anything about anything except Todd bowels loves sec linebackers, and im happy when we draft offensive linemen

  5. This guy is an excellent fit for us!

    Bowles likes to run exotic defenses and this guy should be really good at dropping into coverage as well as creating pressure off the edge.

    Honestly, if we aren’t going CB, then it’s gotta be edge to give the opposing QB less time to make the reads.

    I kinda love this!

  6. Steal!!! He and Yaya will make an awesome tandem. Goodbyeee JTS after this season! For those of you who wanted Kneeland before the Cowboys took him, this imo is the better pick and one that fits in Bowles’ scheme. Braswell can defend against the rush unlike Kneeland.

  7. Probably not bpa but we need another pass rusher and it’s not easy to get one. Have to keep trying with these projects and hope one hits.

  8. I’m the only not loving this pick… feels secondary was the pick. Hope we still get Tampa or Rake some how
