Decent? Canty is a monster... 6-7, 299. 3-4 D doesn't translate into to big numbers for a DE. And- Canty still had 43 tackles, 30 solo, and 3 1/2 sacks. I don't know if he would be worth a #1 pick... but I wouldn't argue against it. If he wasn't comming off a knee and an eye injury- he would of been drafted in the 1st. And a big run stopping, bull rushing DE is the type the skins need.
he's good, is he above avg.? probably, but he's certainly not an elite DE. I know in the 3-4 it's more like playing DT in a 4-3 so the sack #s aren't there.
He'll get a big payday, but let JJ pay it. I don't think he's worth a 1st pick.

Canty is a monster in size only. his on field production doesn't match the kind of money he is looking for. ill pass on him

I don't know how Canty would translate into the 4-3 either. I don't think there's any reason to take a guy who hasn't proven himself as a 4-3 pass rusher. I watched a lot of Dallas games and I'm not sure exactly what he is, how fast he is, or how he gets off the edge.

Good point... I agree. And, he's from Dallas- which by itself is a mark against him. With that said, on that side we do need a big DE who can stop the run and rush the pass.
And, we need all the draft picks we can get, if it's true we're switching to a 3-4. Ughhhhhh!

Canty is solid, but I think we're more likely to address DE in the draft if GW gets the hc job.
I hope he stays w/the cowpokes anyway.
Canty is a beast, seen him play here at Virginia but as mentioned might be a bit too much for us.
