    Interesting you bring Nelson up. Here’s Stephen’s opinion on him

     

     

    Ballard does seem to favor the defense as opposed to the offense. Our defense obviously needs more work, but why bother when adding a seemingly automatic pro-bowl guard to protect your franchise pro-bowl quarterback will put you in contention? 

     

    Dont get me wrong, I like Smith, Chubb, and Edmunds at 6, but I don’t see passing on Nelson as an option. There are however a lack of top tier linebackers and edge rushers in this draft. 

     

    Welp, only can wait and see (2 days might I add)

    The thing with Edmunds is he can move and play any linebacker position ask. I can see him roaming around making plays where ever needed.

    This is true, but he can only be in one spot. We need another guy to stand along side him, so might as well get a guy to fill in the Will position. I like Edmunds in the Mike spot on base defensive plays. In nickel he can even stay in.

    A ton of the film I watched of him no one even attempted to block the guy. The lineman just looked lost and allowed him to blitz in unscathed. The gut is talented, but I dunno.. I'm just not sold on him.

    Missed assignments happen when you run 4.5 speed past on an inside blitz. It will happen less, but Smith should make an impact. We just need a good Mike to go with him.

    There are no guarantees, to me Edmunds is the bigger risk, although he does have a lot of upside.  I disagree about Smith not being good enough against the run, he is a 3 down lb imo, he is good against the run and can cover TEs.

    Roquan has more immediate upside and less risk, I agree. If we can get LVE in the second round, I’d be hyped. Perfect selections and additions for our lb corps. Mike and Will

    Please enlighten everyone on why Smith is such a bad pick at 6th overall.

    I don’t think he’s bad, I just have my concerns with him for his run stopping ability. He isn’t strong enough in the box and definitely isn’t a Mike. He’s a great will with a strong Mike backer to help him support the run, but I’ve seen too many plays of him getting completely blown up by interior lineman.

     

    It won’t happen every play, but I’d rather have Edmunds at 6. Risks are there for both, but if Eberflus would rather take Smith, then I’d rather have Smith too.
