Draft Diamonds:
Negatives:
Tremaine doesn’t have great instincts and I believe part of that is due to his young age. He can be a little slow in his decision making as well as be lured in by misdirection plays. Edmunds will have to try and strengthen his upper and lower body strength. (That will come in due time as he get’s older and his body fills out.) He will from time to time have a bust in man coverage from time to time, Which isn’t due to his lack of playing ability. It’s more due to his mental mistakes.

Can be a step slow to diagnose
Lured by misdirection

Patience is lacking
Races ahead of plays and voids his leverage and run fits at times

Average base strength and high center of gravity create issues holding up at the point of attack
Needs to be quicker to punch in order to maintain clearance
Mental busts in man coverage hurt his team
Takes time to process moving piece
Pro Football Weekly:
Instincts are still developing in coverage — prone to getting fooled by play action and misdirection (see first quarter of the Miami game) and will have trouble locating the ball at times. Sometimes gets lost in space. Plays too shallow sometimes and doesn’t cut off enough of the field.
Bleacher Report, Matt Miller:
NEGATIVES—Still learning the position and will take false steps that his athleticism covers up.—Can be late to react and is more of a catcher than initiator as a tackler.—Needs to continue getting stronger to take on NFL blockers.
