cannondale Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Someone fill me in on Edmunds. Is he an inside ILB that can move to Edge or an ILB that can take some snaps at Edge ? What's his positional story ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he an inside ILB that can move to Edge or an ILB that can take some snaps at Edge ? What's his positional story ? Versatile .. ILB on run downs, and moves to Edge on occasion on passing downs. Great size, productive and young. He'll still be 19 when he's drafted. I think he could be utilized as mostly an edge with us .. he's got the skill set to be an ideal 3-4 OLB. Here's NFL.com's take. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/profiles/tremaine-edmunds?id=2560062 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 6'5 350 the guy just collapses the pocket, we haven't had that since Raji left. People who think he's just a pure run stuffer haven't really watched his tape, dude can get after the QB at his size. I want a big Linval Joseph type anchoring the middle. Clark is good but doesn't have the girth to eat up blockers and gets worn down. Just imagine how great Clark and Daniels would be playing next to that monster, plus they would be able to use Mike more on passing downs and keep him fresh. You take Vea at 14 and move back into the first and grab Key in the mid 20's like we did taking clay. With all the QB needy teams an edge should be there around the mid 20's. Vea and Key would be a dream day one. NT is not a problem for us. Clark is still very young and improving. He may very well give you what your looking for over the next several years.

I mean I love his athleticism it he scares me if you draft him and want to make him an OLB. Certainly has the tool set but may need a couple years to learn to be an EDGE. 14 is a high pick to use on a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An athletic, premium sized defender who can be effective playing down hill or sideline to sideline, occasionally used as an EDGE player in pass situations or as a blitzer/stunt player. Also could be a matchup weapon against large, athletic TE's in the coverage game. Position doesn't matter to me anymore, that's old NFL. His easiest comparison is obviously the Anthony Barr role as his size/athletic ability are similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen him play a down of football - but he's certainly a good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His easiest comparison is obviously the Anthony Barr role as his size/athletic ability are similar. I only ask because he plays ILB at VT. He doesn’t rush from the EDGE he occasionally blitzes from inside. I love his speed athleticism and ability to cover RB’s in the flat and assume he can run with most any TE. All that said we need to get to the QB. He certainly has the tools but do you see him being able to supplant Clay or Perry any time soon? As an EDGE he may take a couple years to be affective. If your happy with getting someone of Barr’s ability at 14 I’d be PO’s we have a guy that good now in Martinez. Now if you told me we were getting Jr Seau, I’m listening. I think he has tools to be a very good EDGE but it will take a couple years. Do you draft that guy at 14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll you should watch him before giving an opinion for sure. What you will see is a guy who may be just as athletic as Roquan Smith but 5-6” talker and 30-40# heavier.

If he does well at the combine, can he be taken at #14? Absolutely. It's not a real top-heavy class, but it's a solid one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A technician on the other side would be great. Does his game sound a bit like Greg Jennings'? I mean, I'm not opposed to adding him I'm just not using the 14th pick on him and he's going to be gone before our 2nd round pick IMO. It's a pretty weak WR class at the top, and he's probably the best of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're drafting Vea to either replace a DL that graded out top 15 amongst lineman or you're drafting a top 15 guy to play 1st and 10 and 2-3rd and short. Unless Chubb, Davenport, Ward, Jackson and Edmunds are all gone by our pick and our choices are down to Smith, Vea and James, (and I take James there) I want nothing to do with Vea simply from a numbers standpoint. And that's assuming he's even worth that pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you always have the smokescreen angle too. Then you see that Dorsey basically kidnapped Davenport so no one could talk to him. I guess it's just another typical draft year ! Wouldn't surprise me. I just don't see Davenport being the guy the Packers prefer. I think that's Landry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually, I didnt offer an opinion about him other than it appears he'll be taken before 14. Would Gute move up to snag him if deemed the BPA for us? I'd hope so. I'm looking for difference makers - perhaps an unrealistic goal - but my take is number 1's need to make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm not sure I see the EDGE projection that others do. Seems like a natural off-ball LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
