I'm not biggest fan of Edmunds either but CURRENTLY his draft position has nothing to do with his play. He isn't great. He isn't terrible. He is 22. I think Edmunds is a rotation type player. He has a role, but he should not be a starter, IMO. I thnk it is clear if you compare the play and skills that Fitzpatrick shows, versus the play and skills Edmunds does not. I did not mean this to be a bash Edminds thread, Just saying, S should be a serious consideration for the 2020 draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all Starters in the League are. And 2) I'm willing to give Edmunds more then 2 years to decide whether or not he's just a rotational guy or a Starter. He may very well be at best a rotational guy. I merely suggest it's to early to make that call. With that said, I'm on board with adding more Safety talent to the roster. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A late Rd guy and not a Day 1 contributor but has the traits/skills to be a key contributor. I like Dugger. Not sure if he's "Big fish. Small pond" type of guy but I'd surely wager a late Rd pick to find out. Dugger's going to test through the roof (so I read) and likely go earlier than some might think. I wonder if H.Nasirildeen from FSU might be a mid round option? His physical traits are pretty crazy, but honestly I haven't really seen him play.

Some teams MAY be weary of the Small School status. Rd 3-4 maybe? Nasir is expected to return for his Senior year. My Middle Rd guy would be Floyd VT. ALL of his flaws are coachable and has prototypical Size/Athleticism. https://247sports.com/college/florida-state/Article/Florida-State-Seminoles-Football-safety-Hamsah-Nasirildeen-expected-to-return-for-2020-season-141904587/ Edited January 11, 2020 by Chieferific 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I tend to notice edmunds failing in games too often, he's no Shell that's for sure. The reality of it is, being the RD1 pick, edmunds will be starting for the 4 years he is here like it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done much better this year mainly because Fitz can play CF and it simplifies what Emunds needs to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing says he shouldn't make this happen at least once in a while. Shell was 190 LBS and KO'd possibly the best power RB in Campbell. There have been a few others over the years that are fearless hitting safeties , but that's becoming a dying breed since the rules have changed.

oksteeler Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Give Edmunds time. The biggest flaw with drafting in today's NFL is the whole drafting for "potential and testing". Teams continue to draft workout warriors and ignore guys that produce. This happens in every round, but mostly in the middle rounds on back. If we will stick to guys that produced in college (Lynn Bowden Kentucky, AJ Green OSU, Saahdiq Charles LSU, Lamical Perine Florida, AJ Dillon BC) for our late round picks we will have more hits and fewer misses. We haven't hit deep on draft prospects in many years. The players play, the "testers" leave us all wondering IF they are going to develop.

Chieferific Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 It would certainly be a luxury pick but I'd sure love to somehow get Dugger on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus IIRC, he was only 20 or 21 when he was drafted(plus I think he missed some time in his junior year). This upcoming year will be his make or break year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jebrick Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Troy was called a bust his 1st season. Unless you consider the 2 sacks he had to be big splash plays. For a lot of the draft picks, they are athletes that need training as a football player. I have no idea if Edmunds will not be a bust but he looked better this season than last. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
