His stats + Combine numbers are making him a guy I need to look into. I know that he's a Chuck Smith guy. Chuck was talking him up a ton before the season then Memphis followed that up by playing him off the ball a lot. Probably a ST guy to start off but he could develop into a player. Has great size if he's going to stay off the ball, athletic enough to play on the edge, has the right guys around him to develop as a rusher as well.

He’s tailor made for today’s NFL. I think the only area he’d tangibly lack because of his hand is turnovers — namely interceptions. I think I could live with that. Did you watch the LB drills today? He legit might have been the best at catching the ball today, the others were brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanS Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Leighton Vander Esch pretty much locked his way into my top 5 overall players in this draft. He tested like the freak athlete he plays like on tape. Now if only there was a way he could drop to pick 28 for the Steelers to scoop up. He would be the ideal replacement for Ryan Shazier.

If you think Roquan and Edmunds are ahead of him on most team boards gotta like his odds of being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riddick’s versatility to play EDGE definitely played a big part into his stock. Before then I think you go back to 2008-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmunds is just like Barr, Roquan is a lot like Shazier, and LVE is just a freak. The point I'm making is that teams won't hesitate to draft 3 ILBs if the talent is there.

Like I said I can’t argue the talent side. Again though I think there’s a good shot LVE is in the mid late 20’s - still would be 3 guys in Rd1 and an outlier. Like you said Vea and Payne likely gone. 5 QB’s could be gone. Barkley, maybe Guice. At least 2-3 OL. So many EDGE’s. 1-2 TE’s. And we haven’t hit the premium CB position. So hard to predict how it goes in the 2nd half of Rd1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
