two big guys.  i'm getting this guys jersey. he's gonna make this defense a top 5 unit next year.  nobody is running on us. nobody is throwing on us.

Ive only seen him in highlights and against Pitt...but one thing I will say I like aside from the obvious size and athletic ability stuff is, he plays with solid fundamentals when doing things like tackling.

My first thought is 19, a boy playing against men.  6-5, 250# with speed.  Yeah don't worry about him after all.  That video, he is a day one starter for our D

Just listened to Greg Cosell on WGR.  Among other things, he said Edmunds is a great talent at this point, not a great player.  Certainly brought me back to earth a little and made me wonder if he will be a season opening starter??

He'll open as the starter, but he won't be the QB of the D yet. Plays will come through Alexander or Hyde imo.

Can LB's wear jersey numbers in the 40's?

 

Can he wear his same number?

 

Yes I believe so. Jarrad Davis wore 40 in Detroit last year. Tanner Vallejo wears 40

Unless Maine makes great strides in camp, I think McD will likely use him situationally (ie. in coverage or as an edge rusher).  This will give him confidence to build on for becoming an every down LB.  IMO, he's still got work to do mentally before he can take that next step.  He did guess too much in college which put him in bad positions.  Of course he made up for it with his athleticism but that quality will be mitigated somewhat in the NFL.  The bottom line is he's young, teachable, smart....he has the capacity to learn and get better....and you just can't teach his size/speed combination which is what enabled him to be drafted in the first round.

 

For those expecting him to be a day one starter and hit the ground running, I'd temper those expectations a bit.  Give him some time and I'm confident he wont' disappoint.

Maybin's problem was that he was undersized.  Edmunds is not.

Maybins problem was not that he was undersized. His problem was that he was  a grossly overrated football player

who was drafted by one of the dumbest franchises(past tense hopefully) in the league--your Buffalo Bills.

The other stuff is true, but his biggest problem is that he was small.  He bulked-up for the Combine to get to the 250# range but couldn't maintain it/strength.

sorry i think it was that he just wasnt a good football player...if he were naturally bigger he still woulda flopped. they drafted him based on a semi-season where he had a string of sacks because of poor defensive scheming by the opp coaching

I don’t see the comparison in Maybin. I see more Ray Lewis and Urlacher then anything. If that’s the case, then get your beer and popcorn ready fellas, cause it’s on!

He bit on play fakes too frequently in college but that's something you can coach. He is arguably more athletic than Keuchly. I have no doubts about this regime's ability to build a top defense.

I love this pick!  Edmunds might transform this defense into greatness.  So

 

Hughes-Kyle-Star-Murphy

Milano-Edmunds-Vallejo?

Hughes-Washington-Lotulelei-Lawson

Milano-Edmunds-Alexander?
