100 percent agree on pass rush. Anyone watching the playoffs so far can see how much an effective rush and pressure on a QB can alter a game. Watch tape and see how Darnold and Goff performed under pressure.  The Giants front 7 got them two Super Bowls despite having an otherwise average team.

The question is will Gutekunst break tendency and go after a guy with real bend and burst even if he's smaller? Cooper seems his concession by having an off-ball linebacker who can also rush from the edge.

On the plus-side, their are a number of candidates this year that could probably do both:

James Pierce from TN, Jalon Walker from GA, Jihaad Campbell from Alabama, David Bailey from Stanford, Josiah Stewart from Michigan and maybe even Smael Mondon from Georgia or Jeffrey Bassa from Oregon.
