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

I am going to take a wild guess and say no

Nothing to say. They probably didn’t have any highlights for him since he was a 5th/6th round prospect.  

 

They couldve at least shown the pick..... that is something.

Don't like this pick!

[RocCityRoller]

Was underwhelmed. He is SAF size. Maybe he is Milano's backup and takes snaps from Siran Neal?

 

Kind of a Hybrid Big Nickel/ SAF/ Coverage LB role. We do run a base Nickel, and he is noted as a Nickel LB.

 

Could be a hunter/ rover in the middle of the defense. Cover TEs?

 

Will want to see what role he is in during the preseason.

 

Have to think better value was there at S/ OL/ CB and a few other LBs. But he does fit the Bills Defensive scheme.

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 

I cannot believe Parhum wasn’t picked.  Reminds me of Epenesa pick with Dobbins going one pick later.

They spend months putting the board together.  This isn't a random pick.  They obviously have an idea what to do with him.  They don't intentionally throw away picks.  I trust them.  

 

That said, I've been doing mock drafts for months and I never heard of the guy.  Probably because I wasn't looking for linebackers beyond Muma.

[CapeBreton]

I really didn’t think our third rounder would be a guy I never heard of but I guess they know what they’re doing so I’ll let it slide. I would have preferred a combo of Chad Muma/Rachaad White. 

[ScorpionZero]

Honestly, we shouldn't beat him down. Give him a chance, he could be somebody special, we just can't see it.

Interesting. I thought Milano was like 240 lbs

Agreed. Milano seems bigger than he is, and he plays bigger. But he is only 220. 
 

i think this Bernard is going to be similar.

His RAS  puts him the top 11% over the past 35 years.  His only drawback is size.  Like a super sized safety & OLB hybrid.

Coverage linebacker 

 

Special teams guy

 

 

We need someone that can cover Kelce. Can he do it?

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

Coverage is one of his strengths

Tre was a consensus 1st rounder.  This guy is an undersized LB that will be lucky to replace Matakevich. 

 

 

Tre White was a consensus 2nd rounder.

 

He was CB1 in that class IMO...........but no, he was not considered a likely first rounder........let alone a consensus one.

Or Basham with Humphrey going a pick or two later

Milano was a 6th round pick where this guy should have been picked.

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.

More likely a Milano replacement in a couple years…

Should've just drafted Nakobe Dean
