This is an awful pick in the 4th round. I thought Pace takes best player available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafreak Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Measurables: 6’1″ 229 lbs SPARQ: 121.0 RAS: 7.48 Rankings: CBS Sports: #10 ILB (#211 overall) NFL.com: #14 ILB NFL Draft Scout: #10 ILB (#237 overall) Bleacher Report: #42 LB (#354 overall) WKU vs Middle Tennessee (15 tackles, 0.5 sacks, 1 FF) Scouting ReportsLance Zerlein – NFL.comDane Brugler – NFL Draft Scout Analysis: Iyiegbuniwe opted to go to the NFL after his redshirt junior season rather than to return for his final year at Western Kentucky. He put up a lot of big numbers last season (116 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss) but there are some questions about his skill set. He is likely a late-round pick that will be relegated to special teams duties the first few seasons in the league. He has the athletic upside to run in coverage but doesn’t have the size or physicality to take on offensive linemen and blow up running plays. Iyiegbuniwe is a rangy linebacker somewhat in the mold of a “Dollar Linebacker” or in-the-box safety. One scouting report called him “a linebacker in a safety’s body.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true! I didn’t think of that but you are totally correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This has been a weird 4th round so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Pace takes best player available. 1) It’s a 4th round pick. I know he found some good players late but the odds any of these guys are any good is slim to none 2) Ever think that maybe a professional football organization’s big board is *slightly* more accurate than yours? 3) Every publication has called him either a sleeper or a 3rd round value. Maybe Iyiegbuniwe will be good, but he probably won’t, just like the rest of these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMike84 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Just a PSA, we’re into the range now where a lot of RB/WR/LB/DB picks are guys who need special teams value to be worthy of a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike84 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Uh oh, Aaron Leming called the Joe I pick “weird” and that he doesn’t understand it, so now everybody will just parrot back that sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkokot Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 At this point, we literally only have 3 bodies on the roster at OLB... It's a serious concern because we are an injury to Floyd away from having negative pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I don’t really care who they pick because 95% of them will suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team is thin at at least one position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
