Around SBN: Following UFC 146 Loss, Jason 'Mayhem' Miller 'Done' in UFC

Part of the Football Outsider's series of looking at the draft prospects. Oregon State's Paea and Illinois' Liuget. Interesting note on similarity of Paea and our own beast Rat.

NFLDraftScout.com compares Paea to Atlanta's Peria Jerry. I'm not sure if that's Rob's comparison or Chad Reuter's. While I can see it, I think the team that gets the most out of Paea is the one who can look at the body of work and think outside the box. When I was watching his tape, I kept thinking of how the Cowboys use Jay Ratliff all over the line in their hybrid fronts and how well he can pursue as a one-gap nose tackle. As those hybrid fronts grow in popularity (most supposed 3-4 defenses, especially the new converts, aren't true 3-4 defenses most of the time), versatile defenders like Paea will be great currency for those personnel executives who are looking to find relatively uncharted paths to the top.

And Phil Taylor over both...

though the versatility of DLinemen playing in various spots in a 3-4 and hybrid schemes is an excellent point.

I like Taylor a lot.

But I think Liuget might be a more effective pass rusher.
