They must be thinking he is a Milano clone. He is almost the exact same size— sort of your converted safety type. 

Interesting. I thought Milano was like 240 lbs

[Clyde Smith]

Kid is a pick off artist.

[Milanos Milano]

Can he cover Kelce. If yes, this was worth the pick.

And Parham and Rhyan go next. Chenal and Tindall on the board. Several TE. Nick Cross.

 

Bernard. Wow. Worse than the Basham pick. 

 

 

I was actually more excited for the Jake Fromm pick.

I'm glad I wasn't up they making the pick.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Coverage linebacker 

 

Special teams guy

Could he play a similar style to Jamal Adams?

I think so...but he's a great coverage linebacker so I think that range will translate well to safety aslt some point

The only thing I can think of is Bernard and Cross were looked at for the same position. More for a big nickel TE stopper than a traditional LB or Safety. Might have just preferred Bernard over Cross and others.

Worthy rationalization. I respect it. But sometimes you just gotta own disappointment.

I was happy with the draft until this Beane dropped this turd pick into the punch bowl. Parham should’ve been the pick and went one spot after us

Seems like this guy's future is on special teams

What a pick for a 3rd rounder

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I think people might be not realizing how the modern game is changing. 250lb LBs are about to be dinosaurs. If you can get 10lbs on this kid and keep him clean with the Dline, he can probably be the Edmunds replacement. Especially if he plays as fast and as decisive as these scouting reports say….that’s the modern day/future NFL MLB mold right there. An almost Safety size player in the middle just flying around and making plays in the pass game. Sounds like this kid is the anti Edmunds and that’s probably what most of us have been accidentally asking for. A instinctive guy that plays fast and doesn’t just think and move like a robot out there.

[Freddie's Dead]

Parham should have been the pick.  This guy could have been had with one of our 6th round picks or maybe even a UDFA.  There's no highlight reel for him on youtube, and no one has him listed as a day 1 starter.  A real reach in the 3rd round.  A true WTF pick.

[ScorpionZero]

Maybe he's so good he'll make our linebackers better.

That’s all fine and dandy, but if he can’t cover Kelce, it’s not really helping us much.

Big safety ?

 

 

 

Yeah, my thought was he may be used as a hybrid? He's good in space so maybe he'll shadow opposing TEs. He'll definitely contribute on STs, at least initially.

What about it?

 

Complete defensive breakdown showed that we need fresh, speedy blood on that side of the ball. No more Levi Wallace running 10 yards behind Kelce, no more AJ Klein missing in the middle of the field, no more ancient defensive ends.
