Jeremy Beal DE - Oklahoma

[FullMetalFalcon23]

Jeremy Beal has been a dominating pass rusher for the better part of four years with the Sooners of Oklahoma. There is no reason to think that he cannot be just as dominate of a force in the NFL. Even as a redshirt freshman in 2007 Beal earned a couple of starts and finished the campaign with one sack and 5.0 tackles-for-loss.
In 2008 Beal stepped into a starting role and never looked back. He started all 14 games that season and ended up with an impressive 8.5 sacks and 15.5 tackles-for-loss. He even added 61 tackles and four pass break-ups. Everybody wanted to see if Beal could do it again in 2009 as an upperclassman and he did not disappoint. Beal ended the 2009 campaign with 11.0 sacks and 19.0 tackles-for-loss. And once again he proved that he is more than just a pass rusher and totaled 70 tackles. Through ten games in 2010, despite being consistently targeted by the opposition, Beal has 50 tackles, 16.0 tackles-for-loss and 7.5 sacks.

Beal has shown that he can consistently get to the quarterback and his production in 2009 and 2010 has proven to scouts that he was not a one year wonder. Beal spends most of his time at the defensive end spot, but he will occasionally stand up and drop back into coverage. That makes Beal a solid end in a 4-3 defense or an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. There is not a team in the NFL where he would not fit and that should make him a late first round selection.

I actually think he is more of a project 4 - 3 end but a better 3 - 4 OLB. Most of what I have seen of him thus far, he has been rushing standing up as a blitzing LB in 4-3 formations . Without seeing how he plays hand in the dirt I can't really give my opinion on how he plays 4 -3 wise

Man I ain't a fan of Sid, tried but I am willing to be ruthless now and say what have you done for me lately. We need instant results.

he'll be an OLB in a 3-4 methinks.

OU recruited him as a LB but he has made some impact plays as a defenseive end. He didn't have as good of a year as I thought he might this year, but then again that could be said of the entire 2010[/u] OU defense.
