And Urlacher being drafted 9 th in the 2000 draft isn't saying much. Look who was drafted 1st overall that year. The talent in this years draft is by far way better than 2000. This years 2nd round will have better talent than the 1st round of 2000. And Urlacher wasn't the first LB taken in the draft.

Urlacher was a consensus All American and Heisman Finalist. He was legitimately one of the best college players in the country with the production and film to warrant getting drafted at 9 overall.
Edmunds is just over an inch taller and ran the 40 .05 seconds faster than Urlacher, but Urlacher benched 8 more than Edmunds and jumped 5 inches longer in the broad jump.
So he isn't really more athletic than Urlacher was and doesn't have anywhere NEAR the college production that Urlacher had. What makes you think he'll be a better player than Urlacher?
Edmunds 2 years one position. 213 tackles, 3 forced fumbles, 10 sacks and an interception.
Urlacher 4 years 2 different positions on defense. 442 tackles, three interceptions, 11 sacks, and 11 forced fumbles.
Urlacher IMO had the easier competition as well. ACC- Mountain west

He's already a physical freak, dude is just a little raw from a decision-making standpoint, but that should come in time with more experience and good coaching. Look how good he is already and he doesn't even know how to play the position hahaha.
-
And he probably won't hit peak physical form for about 2 years. That's scary. Urlacher was 2 or 3 years older than Edmunds coming into the league and that's his comparison. IMO he will be better than Urlacher.

His birthday is May 2. He'll be 20 a week after the draft. He still had 3 years of college play, just like everyone else in this draft. That whole age thing is completely overblown. Most of the players being evaluated in this draft were 18-19 when they played..
When drafted, Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds (19 years old) will be the youngest player selected since Louisville DT Amobi Okoye
u/TheFencingCoachMar 29, 2018, 6:24 AMAmobi Okoye was selected with the 10th overall pick by the Houston Texans in the 2007 NFL Draft. He was 19 years, 10 months, and 18 days old, and the youngest player ever drafted.
Virginia Tech LB Tremaine Edmunds is expected to be a 1st round pick in this upcoming draft. If selected in Round 1 (as expected), he would 19 years, 11 months, 24 days on April 26, making him the youngest player drafted since Okoye.

Edmunds is and will be the youngest player ever drafted into the NFL I believe. He's 19 yrs old. The awesomeness and the mistakes we've seen was from a 18 yr old kid. He's a monster. That's our future MLB. We have Eberflus to put that Midas touch on him.IMO if it wasn't a QB frenzy this year he would go top 5.

Can we make a deadline for GM's ? IMO if it's taking this long to get a GM to select a team then it's possible we will be waiting for long periods of time for draft picks to be selected as well. No since in dragging it out if we will be deciding as a group on some of these picks anyways. I could be wrong but last draft other members had to decide picks on behalf of GM's that took the day off. Any thoughts ?

I'd take Edmunds over Smith.

But the more film I watch on different prospects I truly think it will be a mistake to pass on Tremaine Edmunds.

# 6 Denzel Ward.
* Out of all the position groups based on need and immediate impact. IMO the secondary is 1 star cornerback away from being a complete high impact group. NO FLY ZONE
Q. WILSON M. HOOKER
D. WARD. C. GATHERS
N. HAIRSTON M. FARLEY
* Ward & Hooker also have prior chemistry together for whatever that's worth.

We have seen so many different opinions about the draft that it is mind boggling. I just hope that just everyone that is truly a Colts fan realizes that we can have different opinions but in the end we have to trust our owner, GM & coach to decide our future. Don't get so caught up in what YOU want to happen & realize that as a fan we have to rely on them to make the choice for our team. The theme that I am trying to get across is If you think your an expert on what we should do, you should send you resume to the NFL and stop whining if you don't get the picks you think we should have. I truly believe that as Colts fans we can have this in common.

I don't know if anyone else listens to Adam Shefter's podcast, but he interviewed Chris Ballard during the NFL meetings and when talking about the trade he said he didn't talk to teams farther down because he want's to stay in position to get top talent or how he described it "A premium player". To me that sounds like he wouldn't want to make another trade like with Buffalo because it would push us out of the position to get what he believes are the Premium Players.

For what position ? If you want a true MLB it's Edmunds. If you want a true OLB it's Smith. But only one can play both positions at the NFL level IMO and that's Edmunds. And how is it obvious ? One has a high motor and moves fast to the ball with no hesitation. The other gets blocked off the ball 20 yards down field. Roquon for a pancake eating contest is the obvious choice. Imagine him running into Nelson at the NFL level... Spatula , shovel , pooper scooper, paleontologists.
