Yeah, it's really stupid to suggest it. Why would you take a player who will probably succeed at a very important position and turn him into the fullback of the defense? Maybe this would work in 1992, but not now. Bruschi would be in over his head in today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the two top LBs off the board in last years draft were 250+. One was a pro bowl selection and the other one should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Does Wilkins project OK as a NT in a 3-4? He looks like he can be a pretty mobile, well-rounded NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’d be okay there but if you want a true 3-4 NT anchor go with Greg Gaines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's too stiff and 1-dimensional in the NFL. He's a guy I'd take in the 6th and play him over the C in goaline-type defensive formations.

He routinely shocks OL, re-establishes the LOS, and rides them to the football. He's much better than just a space eater 0-Tech. I see him routinely stack, shed, and make plays in the C-D gap.
