He's a 3-4 inside Linebacker so protected by both the nose and the mike playing inside next to him. Interesting to see what the Cards do with him now that they have moved to a 4-3. I'd venture to guess they are going to move him back to safety. Also he is 6-1 211, James is 6-3 215. These are completely different body types. Sounds fancy on paper, but just not the right fit for what we do.

That Jackson score is a red flag, but it is all a part of the process. With the agent situation he is definitely not helping his stock. Nothing has changed though. No matter what, if you draft this guy you are going to have to alter your offense to fit his skillset. And he needs some time to develop. Those two things are true whether he runs a forty, aces a wonderlic, or his mom is a maniac representing him. He's a great athlete, he needs time to develop, and teams are going to have to be all in on him to make it work. That is all still true.

It seems like Janis has some interesting potential and just didn't get a chance to play in Green Bay. I'd love to have him in.

I feel like Malachi Dupre could be something but who knows. If this is a minimum salary benefit guy it's fine.

Now that's more like it

Yep. A 10 cent brain and about 100 extra lbs

I'm with you. Owa Odighizuwa is infinitely more interesting than Fede.

I'm guessing John Elway? JaMarcus Russell, Kyle Boller were up there

Nice! You win!

As long as his wife plays tight end I'm good

Davis is a much more proven player. So no, He is not better. Will likely be cheaper and maybe has some upside. Minimum salary type player.

I don't see the logic of taking the best safety in the draft to become a MIKE linebacker. Just makes no sense. I know Deion Jones, but it is a totally different frame than James. It's not just about weight, height is a factor as well. 6-1 222 is way differnt than 6-3 215. Plus he has us passing on Evans and LVE... I know that teams spend a lot of the time in nickel. If I was playing the Bills and they had a 6-3 215 pound MIKE, I would load up on tight ends and jam the ball down their throat, rendering their nickel defense useless.

Interesting, but ridiculous. 215 pound 4-3 MIKE? Not sure going to work in the NFL. This would be a terrible draft.

Was OBJ smoking with you? Was there a hooker and a white substance?

Probably helps the Patriots the most. Just because. But it is a fair point that we were a good tackling team last year. It certainly doesn't help that safety from the Saints who blew that tackles against the Vikings. It also may have saved Rodney Harrison from CTE.

Poor man's Shaq Lawson. Similar size and such, a 4-3 base end basically. Fits teh mold of the typical McDermott end. Likely a depth player. If they went ahead and signed like Kony Ealy, I would think someone was on the move. This not so much.

Ok now I'm even happier we didn't hire Anthony Lynn.

I guessing Saints, maybe Rams or Raiders.

One of these guys will be there, it's just a question of which one. I'm guessing Rosen or Mayfield at this point, and I am okay either way. And I think this is what Beane meant when he said "striking distance."

Same. I don't hate it. I like OBJ, the problem is can you sign him long term? If not it isn't worth the risk. Honestly, in the back of my mind, because obsessions, I have to count all the stuff we traded for Sammy Watkins too...because we should have just taken him at nine.

This. So take solace in the fact that he is usually pretty off guys. The one thing, we are likely not getting a quarterback without a trade up, and I don't think he usually projects trades. So linebacker, corner seems likely. The true question is...did he have Mason Rudolph in first?

Beane talked about post draft cuts the other day. It makes sense to wait for that time and keep a bit of that money aside for one, a little nest egg for someone who is good that shakes loose.

I still don't love him and I don't know if I buy it, but if they think he is Drew Brees, and will win from the pocket, I'm good with it. Trusting the process.

Man I hope the Jets or Broncos don't kill him. I mean I know he had a run in with the cops, but that seems excessive.

But did he say process???
