The way the game goes QB's usually have 1 read and then get rid of the ball. I do think that Paye ins't the best pure speed pass rusher, but his frame will be that of a 3 down DE in our system. We already have some speed assuming Turay gets right and Paye becomes a pillar that can be utilized in both run and passing situations. Good pick.

Also check out this absolutely incredible story! Not going to be hard to root for him.

Glad you pointed that out. Paye was used all over the line to be disruptive in various ways. THIS is why so many had him high on their boards. Obviously Ballard and staff saw his abilities and how he fit the Defense.
