Because he can’t play the run so he’s more in the mold of Martin and Ejiofor. Guys that come in during passing downs.
What's with the man crush on Weaver? 65. Curtis Weaver, EDGE, Boise State (6-2, 265) Dane Brugler: The keys to Weaver’s pass rush are his motor and hands, using a two-hand swipe as his signature move, swatting away blockers to stay free around the edge. He was a cheeseburger away from 300 pounds when he enrolled at Boise State and his maturity is something NFL teams are putting under the microscope. Overall, Weaver isn’t a top-tier athlete and his limitations will be more noticeable vs. NFL competition, but he is a motivated rusher with the active hands and power to grind away at the corner, projecting as an NFL starter in the right situation. Bob McGinn/Anonymous Scouts: Weaver was redshirted in 2016, started nine of 27 games from 2017-’18 and all 14 in ’19. “He’s a tough study because he’s not twitchy or explosive,” said one scout. “He’s really, really bendy and he’s got really good body control and savvy. That’s how he gets his sacks. Bad body. He’s got so much sack production but when you put on the tape you go, ‘This is the guy?’ You just don’t see any kind of burst or explosion but when he turns the corner he’s got really good body control.” He amassed 34 sacks, second at Boise State behind Erik Helgeson (54 ½). “He needs to get stronger,” said a second scout. “When people get their hands on him he’s nullified. If he’s able to win early and slip around edges and keep your hands off him, that’s when he causes problems. He could be a boom or bust guy. He had all that production but there were games where he completely disappears. When he plays some of the better tackles, the ones that were able to get their hands on him, he was kind of just a guy. You’re betting on the come. I would think he’s third to five (rounds) but somebody may do it in the second.” Weaver finished with 128 tackles (46 ½ for loss) and eight passes defensed. “Is he Nate Orchard?” said a third scout. “He plays hard. Needs better get-off. Good hands on the rush. Will chase the quarterback. Flashes pressure. Feel rusher. He doesn’t have enough length. I like guys that are longer. Probably somewhere in the third round.” Weaver is from Long Beach, Calif.
If we take ANOTHER TE, even one as talented as Trautman, I'm not going to be pleased given the holes we still have.
