If you play him as a LB, like the falcons did with Neal or Washington did with Collins, you’ll get a lot of production from him. He might have been our best defensive player yesterday and I’ll be the first to criticize him at deep safety. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's run stop ability is a big reason why the Raiders won the game 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see Abram bulk up to 215-220 lbs. and move to LB full time. He has great sideline to sideline speed, aggression, and a nose for the ball. He’s just miscast playing in the secondary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has great sideline to sideline speed, aggression, and a nose for the ball. He’s just miscast playing in the secondary. He already looks like it. He has no problem getting off blocks at his current size. And he's sideline to sideline for sure. Him, deablo, and perryman is a pretty decent 3 IMO. Need to get a real SS and beef up at DT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most quite like Abram but agree he is not a traditional Safety - Moehrig (as an example) has been much more impactful as a Safety, but Abram's ability to get off blocks and hit is pretty impressive.

Every other defensive draftee is having an impact of some level so far. I think Tyree could play in the box or the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, he’s a potential Pro-Bowler at LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I say move him to LB... Deablo, Littleton, Abram, Perryman next year. that's some serious speed , I like the unit. I think White would be fine as a 5th/6th LB and core special teamer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 crazy our defense would have less holes then offense. Would still need DT, SS maybe one of corner since Hayward is old. I really want to see Gillespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
