Allen makes up for all of Edmunds sins ATM so let’s ride. There's Vander Esch again. I'll need to watch Edmund's more closely this weekend.

LVE was playing rinky dink football throughout high school.

But a slight move would have been feasible in comparison to a second trade “up” Well, we went from 22 to 16, you’re talking about a 2 pick difference to get ahead of the Cowboys and take LVE, so it’s hard to know what kind of compensation change that would create.

The parcel is price is on the folks that get paid...it would be a hard argument to trade up for Edmunds instead of LVE.

I think that the prevailing thought in the lead up to the draft was that LVE was a more refined pick, while Edmunds has a higher ceiling. 1 minute ago, Commonsense said: The parcel is price is on the folks that get paid...it would be a hard argument to trade up for Edmunds instead of LVE. If we’re judging based on 3 quarters of a season, then yeah. I’ll wait and see. Also, at the time, Edmunds was universally viewed as the better option. Edited November 30, 2018 by whatdrought

I’d say that thought needs more of explanation. LVE is older but his trajectory was second to none late last season. 1
whatdrought Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Just now, Commonsense said: I’d say that thought needs more of explanation. LVE is older but his trajectory was second to none late last season. LVE was seen as a solid linebacker prospect who had the chance to be great. Edmunds was seen as a physical freak who could be dominant at a whole other level. I’m not arguing that that was a correct assessment, but rather that it’s what was believed of the two. I think what we’re seeing so far this season is that Edmunds is less instinctual and is learning how to play in the middle, while LVE is more fluid and thus producing better right now.

Not true, and I’m not judging by tonight’s game. As I said earlier, has Kamara got outside of 55 all night? Catching or running? The answer is no. Kamara is the most dynamic threat in football. Sure, TG is better through the tackles etc. but AK41 is legit and he has spent four quarters under the watch of LVE. 1

Heck, it could’ve been tremaine. Hard to guess but they got their guy and I do trust mcd with linebackers

stevewin Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Maybe a combined 140 years of experience for the refs is not necessarily a good thing...
