So we've managed to create artificial "depth" at Nickel/WSB with a trio of guys who didn't actually play the position. We're like 6 deep at NLB, and virtually none of them past the starter has proven a single solitary thing as a LB at the NFL or college level. see the depth chart thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post someone did a while ago about Deablo and Bradley's resume of moving S's to LB's and having success was impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want a plodder playing linebacker? Deablo is already LB size. That is the biggest adjustment. His biggest strengths are his instincts and physical gifts. He's a safety LB hybrid like Chinn and Dugger. Don't even call him a LB if you don't want to. But he can play in sub packages in the NFL.

You've gotta be talented enough to even get the job in the first place. Love the confidence but I mean come on. You actually think you project Diablo better than Bradley?

All I read before the draft was how predictably we drafted for need *only*. .....and now we're upset because we aren't continuing to draft in the late rounds for need? Whether it is for need or a 6th S we are still reaching. Draft for need as long as they are close to BPA. We get poor value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't agree with the pick that's fine but saying it wasn't BPA is impossible without seeing their board. If he is your #1 player on your board and you take him despite already taking a S in round 2 that is the definition of not reaching and taking the most talented player ON YOUR BOARD. That's BPA in a nutshell. Edited May 1, 2021 by CaliforniaKid7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
