Sorry about the music. Kid has skill but he hasn't played much. 20 years old 5 star recruit.

 

nice upside pick like Cowart. Although I like him more. Hope he kicks Bentley out.

Love this pick. Tons of potential.

BB is killing it in this draft with all these value picks. Such a nice change from previous years where we're reaching for unknown DBs in the middle rounds.

Caserio is gone. So thankful

Looks like he will probably be on PUP minimum or IR. I think this makes sense given a few 1yr deals at LB.. redshirt him and hopefully he's ready to play after a year in the system.

seems like the plan. He can replace Bentley in 22. If he develops he can be a lot better than him.

Agreed, it's a good pick. Especially when they don't have many roster spots.. you can put him on IR and save a spot from this draft. 

 

Dylan Moses was an interesting one too.. went undrafted and the Pats didnt go after him.. Saban must have said he will never amount to anything.

I don't see it with this guy at all. I think people have been overrating Michigan players for years and they see this 20 year old and think that youth+athleticism=homerun. Not good in coverage, gets pushed back and swallowed up on blocks from all type of offensive players, and plays average in pursuit athletically despite his test times. Not a fan of this pick especially with some of the players that were available here.

That's why he was taken in the 5th round. He'll play a part on run defense, and he'll probably make some plays behind the line. He's basically another Elandon Roberts, who played a role well enough.

He will not be on the field in obvious passing downs, unless as a pass rusher.

I just don't think this kid has the ability to play the run effectively except as a blitzer and even at that he seemed overmatched quite a bit for Michigan.

Would rather have had JOK and Zaven Collins with the first two picks then a QB somewhere else in the draft instead of Baremore, Jones and this guy.

He's not a blitzer. I think he's strict run D only. He's a pyscho that is good at finding gaps when OL attack.
