Those guys you mentioned are ILB at the next level. They will be really good too. We could use any of them and like you I hope we can get one of them later on in the draft. The teams need on defense is great than the amount of picks they have. If they are sticking with the 3-4 base they will need another ILB and a OLB that can play DE in 4-3 packages. The front 7 is far from complete and the secondary will not get every need addressed this offseason. The talent is just not going to be available when we are picking I'm afraid. -
There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin. Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami). I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things. You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount. Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc. Great hands, great attitude. I take him in the fourth. Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever. I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge. I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far. Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him. When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents. -
Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does). The kid's got a shot; he's just going to need it somewhere that's going to aim first before firing him off.
