EaglesPeteC Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Finally a good pick at a position we needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Wallace could've been a 3rd rounder and nobody would've been surprised. Maybe even a late 2nd. Great pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Joe Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I mean it's not a bad pick in a vacuum but didn't we just draft a player the last round with exactly the same profile as him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I would have proffered Geno Stone, but hopefully he hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaglesPeteC Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It looks like they are really prioritizing versatility in the back 7. Almost everyone can play or project at many positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davion Taylor plays LB. K'Von Wallace plays S. What would make you think they're exactly the same profile? They play completely different positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they are both “safeties” that play on the over hang that excel at blitzing and hitting but struggle in coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoUpTwoDown Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Not bad value. Could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Heard a lot of people talk about Wallace as the versatile counterweight to Isaiah Simmons at Clemson. Basically filling in where the were weak so Simmons could be the monster he was at Clemson. It's intriguing what they are trying to do in the secondary. Marquand Manuel being here makes me more hopeful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace shines in that Malcolm Jenkins role at safety. Taylor is raw so I wouldn't put much stock into whatever safety stuff you saw him do. He's been drafted to play LB because of his traits and because of the things he's accomplished at LB imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can flow freely but also cover when needed. and then you have a 1 or two guys on the field that are Safety/SLOT-Linebackers that will primarily cover but also come up to run blitz and stunt occasionally. it's not crazy..kinda where the league is going 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
