Thomas Davis wasn't a hybrid in the NFL, though. After his rookie season they basically just put him at OLB and that's where he stayed. Had they tried to turn him into some mythical position that doesn't exist he may have been a bust, too.

Having said all of that, it's a damn shame Mike Green has the off-field concerns because he would be a slam dunk choice at #8, IMO.

My order of (realistic) preference at #8: 1. Mason Graham 2. Jalon Walker 3. Jihaad Campbell 4. Tyler Warren 5. Mykel Williams There's an outside chance that Graham falls to us, but it's unlikely. I hope we don't have it in our heads to just take an EDGE no matter what because if Graham doesn't fall and for some reason Walker isn't there the BPA isn't going to be one of the other edge rushers. I'd much rather add Jihaad Campbell and get that stud ILB we've been lacking or even just go offense with Warren than reach for Mykel, Pierce or Stewart at #8. Even if we trade down to around the 12-15 range I feel like Campbell or Warren (or even one of the safeties) would be the better pick if Walker goes off the board. There's plenty of depth at EDGE in this class; absolutely no reason to box ourselves in to taking one in the 1st if the value isn't there

I hate that 2nd round pick.

This might be my favorite realistic mock draft I've done...

I feel like Carter is a safer pick than most players in the top-10 just because he can play off-ball linebacker at a high level, even if he doesn't pan out as an edge rusher.

Yes. Whether I'd actually take the deal depends on what we'd have to give up, but I think we have to call in that scenario.

I just hope they know how to use him properly. If they try to make him an off-ball linebacker that blitzes sometimes it'll be a waste, IMO. He needs to play EDGE, not linebacker.

Very little reason to have too much confidence in Legette, IMO. He cares more about catching rodents than he does catching footballs. Another player who will probably make a fortune as a podcast host/personality after they flunk out of the league.

Traded all the way down with Buffalo. Picked up their 1st rounder next year and then traded both 2nd rounders to move back into the 1st for Emeka Egbuka. Also traded up into the late 2nd for another pass rusher.

Something different; an offensive focused draft. Only one pick used on defense...

Went trade down happy in this one...

And I only want to root for a contender. If no contenders make him a decent offer I'm sure he'll sign elsewhere.

If Graham is there and we take anyone else I'll be pissed. Unless Travis Hunter or someone falls, which won't happen.

Justin Simmons seems like such a no-brainer signing to me right now. He's worked with Evero before and is a good player at a position where we have basically nothing right now. I have to believe this gets done at some point prior to the draft.

I agree with you on the weird combos. I still can't believe they actually thought white jerseys/silver pants was a good thing to try. I feel like if they're going to do all these random combos to change up the look they need to just do a full re-design and get it over with. I maintain that black helmets/blue jersey/black pants would be the best home combo we could have.

It is. No telling.

It's time for a re-design...

We'd probably have to take Mbow in the 3rd if we wanted him, which I wouldn't be opposed to depending on who else is available. I definitely think a developmental RT should be a target in the middle rounds.

Well then we're fuged.
