Yeah, the Pats already have a very good NT. Time to pick up the next Justin Smith.
Justin Smith came into the NFL as a 267 pound 4-3 DE. That's probably not the example you want to use.

More likely is that, with a good coach, he will improve his hands moves, and turn into another Justin Smith.

Ok seriously. Are you
a) Derek Wolfe
b) related to Derek Wolfe,
c) alumni of Cincy
d) his gf?
Justin Smith is 6'4", 290 pound DE in a 3-4 defense. Justin Smith (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Thats exactly the example I wanted to use.
What Wolfe did in his highlights is very similar with what Smith did in that vid.

I see. You want to find the next 3-4 DE who is as good as Justin Smith, not literally the next Justin Smith, someone who follows the same career path. Never mind. Smith was just a very curious choice if you were comparing them as prospects, as Smith wasn't a 3-4 DE until he was 28.
LOL it seems you have trouble understanding. I was talking about Justin Smith of this season, not comparing them as prospects.
Well if we're looking for the next Justin Smith, can we find the next Revis and Ware while we're at it too?
Edit: Moss too. Can't forget Moss.

What the hell are you watching?
All I see is that when he is 1 gapping, he is decent to good.
When I see him 2 gap, he either doesn't get any push or pressure and sometimes, he gets rolled on the Point of Attack.
Thanks to Wolfe's efforts, Cinci led the nation in sacks per game.
That tells everyone with half a brain that Wolfe can get plenty of push and pressure in any situation, and he's a great player.
Can't argue with you, there.
But those of us with WHOLE brains have a different opinion of the lad.
BS.

The Vertical Jump event measures lower body strength
I could come up with hundreds of articles that point the connection between the vert and the lower body strength, it's enough to just google it.
Brockers and Cox poor verticals are confirmed on the field, as they are not very good pass rushers. Cox couldn't get sacks unless the QB ran into him, and brockers had to be taken out on 3rd downs.
Wolfe on the other hand had an excellent 33.5 vert, and the college production to back it up.
...and the assessment of everybody else here.I've looked at footage of Wolfe, not just highlights of him but game footage, and I see a solid player but very unspectacular player. This doesnt mean he can't develop into one but at this moment he'd be a later round developmental pick and I wouldnt expect much from him for a few seasons, if he ever develops at all. Just my assessment.
