He turns his head around for the ball? 😮

I hope he has his act down looking surprised to find no safety help when he gets beat on a big play 🙂

So what you'd rather they invest in bargain bin LBs?

We have 5 round 6-7 picks. We couldn't have gone up to get Cox? It's just a huge letdown. I'll get over it. Not excited for this pick at all. But oh well.

A good portion of CBs dont.

I was making fun of our CBs

Exactly, some CBs are too afraid of getting burnt by turning trying to look for the ball.

I mean yeah I'm surprised they didn't package up some picks to move up... But perhaps they didn't like the shoulder injury?

Depends, maybe we have the coaches that can actually develop projects for once and put them in a position to succeed

That's the only reason I'm giving any of these guys a chance.  

If Schwartz was still DC this guy would probably be awful and never improve.  I'm hoping the new staff actually develops these players. 

Anyone remember those huge dollar DVD bins at Walmart? Thats what I think about when I think about our Secondary lol.

ABC draft coverage on Zech:  athleticism, good at getting turnovers, weak in coverage, plays special teams...development project, roll the dice and hope for the best.  That sounds like Howie's draft strategy alright!

A CB that is considered to be "weak in coverage” makes me hella nervous.

Oh perfect. A coverage guy who's weak in coverage. Lmao.

Solid pick where he was taken. I have no issues with it.

That’s a pretty impressive list he’s on.

No issue with this. Hadn’t heard of him, but some experts seem to really like him and I’m fine with him at this point.

Yeah it is. I mean look he's not played against the same level of talent but still.

 

 

This team is never gonna get serious about LB are they?

That is one of those things you just need to make your peace with.

It's just not worth investing big time picks when you can get a Wilson for almost free..

Eagles - We don’t need Linebackers on the D

Cowboys - We ONLY need Linebackers on our D.

Lucky to find anything more than a depth player in the 4th round. Only thing we can hope for is he becomes more than that. Hoping for anything else in the lower rounds is wishful thinking.

I hope this kid develops enough confidence to at least contribute in dime coverage.

Nope.

There's gotta be a happy middle ground lol. 

Glad to know some have him highly regarded.
