April 25, 20205 yr 22 minutes ago, jsdarkstar said: what I got from his Highlight video. Fast going to the sideline. He's good at making the open field tackles. He can tackle the tight end. Not sure about his pass coverage skills or his ability to stop the run. Pretty raw. Needs some coaching up. But FAST.

And his momma literally didn't let him play football as well. You wrong for this lmao.

Probably a good thing the Hurts pick provides some cover for this guy, because IMO this was way too early for this player. The Eagles had met with him early in the process, but I think he'd have been available at #127. He'll play ST next season, but this reminds me of a reach in the Pumphrey/Hollins sense. He can't be as bad as those 2 guys, can he?

I'll never get this image out of my mind... I can't stop laughing lmao. Hydration Specialist. Watching his highlights now thinking he's screaming on every tackle.

April 25, 20205 yr What bothers me the most is that the Eagles seem to be more prone to drafting "Project" or players who will take time to develop over impact players more often than not. This kid is young, raw and a hybrid type of tweener. The defense needs players to contribute right away. We don't want more confusion about where to be on the field. With that said, this pick has high upside and is an athlete. You see it on film, and the way he moves. He is fast. So, I hope that athleticism translates to turnovers, tackles, sacks etc.

What impact players are finished products coming out of the 3rd round?
April 25, 20205 yr 2 hours ago, 20dawk4life said: Stewart Bradley - 87 Kendricks- 46 Hicks- 84 And technically Marcus Smith was a DE/OLB for Louisville so - 26 Marcus Smith. Yeah that’s true. He was a linebacker.... I think Chip Kelly purposefully ruined that guy cause he hated that pick and Howie so much. Don’t get me wrong Smith sucked, but the one thing he was good at in college was rushing the passer and Chip basically made him do everything, but that in the pros . Matt McCoy was selected 63.
April 25, 20205 yr 10 hours ago, LesGoEagles said: Yea i dont know anything about him, but his tape looks good. Good open space linebacker , but can he help the run game n hold up 16 games Really good coverage ability. That’s huge. Weird thinking a LB taken at the end of the 3rd round is my favorite pick so far. 😕

April 25, 20205 yr 10 hours ago, JayEcho said: He looks bad in this video. He shows his speed by running down guys. That’s like the only positive. But his diagnosing of plays is junk. He pretty much had 2 tds thrown on him in zone because he took too long to know where he was supposed to be and didn’t get his depth. and there were a number of plays where he hit the guy that was in front of him but didn’t even try to disengage or even read where the ball was. He would hit the guy in front of him and the runner would run by his area while he’s trying to win a one-on-one battle. Forget the guy you’re fighting with. Disengage and go get the guy the ball! this dude needs work. Maybe there’s some other games where he didn’t look so bad. Otherwise..... Special teams ahoy!
April 25, 20205 yr 11 hours ago, Outlaw said: That’s Edwards job. This kid can take that Malcolm role where he can play multiple places in the back 7. Super athletic, and good instincts. Yeah he can do a lot of the same things that Dugger or Chinn can make. Similar athletic monster tweener nickel backer type that defenses are looking for now. Would have preferred Willlie Gay in the 2nd, but this is not a bad pick and he was projected to go exactly in the late 3rd early 4th.

Yes but this was pick 103, so the statement earliest LB since McCoy is wrong. There's been 3 kind of 4 LBs selected earlier than 103.
April 25, 20205 yr 12 minutes ago, Devaster said: Wonder if they move him to Safety. Doubtful. There's a lot of LBs in the NFL now around his size. He will most likely fill the Jenkins role of LB, while using Mills to replace Jenkins safety role.

April 25, 20205 yr Just now, EazyEaglez said: McCoy was a 2nd round pick. He was pick 63. Correct. So this is not the earliest we took a LB since McCoy. We took 3 or 4 LBs earlier than 103.
