blankman0021 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ridiculous athlete. Comps athletically include Von Miller, Boss Bailey, Cam Wake, DeMeco Ryans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 You guys wanted speed. He's a massive upgrade to Joe Thomas and can play in all sorts of packages. Not a reach at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fussnputz Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Sounds like one of those new fangled S/ILB types. Pettine must have something in mind for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess pass rush isn't all that important anymore. We're just gonna keep Wilkerson, Clark and Daniels on the field every play and blitz LB/S hybrids all game long.

Von Miller was my first thought. This guy is that kind of athlete. A little undersized to be an edge rusher though. Definitely more of a ILB that flies around the field. Maybe a Ryan Shazier type.

Still plenty of EDGE talent on the board. Not a lot of guys around like Burks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, another coordinator that has to bring the entire house to get even a little bit of pressure. Rinse and repeat hoping for a different outcome with virtually the same players we had last year who couldn't dream of pressure on the QB much less provide it.

Part of me wonders if they view him as an EDGE. A little lighter than you'd like but that kind of athlete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopackgo27 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Been aching for an athletic ILB for years now, this is it. I really liked him, had us to slotted to take him in the 5th & makes me feel even better about it after they traded up in the 3rd to get him. Brandon Chillar, upgraded Joe Thomas, Mike Pettine has to be thrilled, he has SO MUCH to work with. Sheesh I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably starts as a dime linebacker. Just pure athlete. Interesting pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
