Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 with McDermott preferring a 43 with quick and agile LBs, Ragland seems to be poor fit. But what if he was switched to Defensive line? He has the size to play DE right now and if that doesn't work for him it wouldn't take much to bulk up to be a 3T inside pass rusher.

CSBill Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think too soon to know what he can or cannot do in the NFL. Give it some time, but you may be on to his best fit as that hybrid outside LB/DE role that is used today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Ragland seem a poor fit.....we haven't see the defense ...we haven't seen Ragland play.....he's not a DL either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Reggie is a MLB , run stuffer, Preston Brown is also and still on rookie contract. Give Reggie enough time to recover from knee injury then decide if Preston needs to be traded before deadline or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 with McDermott preferring a 43 with quick and agile LBs, Ragland seems to be poor fit. But what if he was switched to Defensive line? He has the size to play DE right now and if that doesn't work for him it wouldn't take much to bulk up to be a 3T inside pass rusher. He actually played some edge rusher with his hand in the dirt at Bama. He should get a chance to see what he can do at MLB and in various packages. If he's not effective at LB in passing packages, then seeing what he can do as a pass rusher in those packages is certainly worth looking into. The team might find some additional value there.

4merper4mer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) This was a Rex pick 100%. The rest of the NFL passed on him because he was a great college player who does not fit in the NFL. A different mold but the same idea as a Michael Sam or Dat Nguyen or Tim Tebow. Completely wasted Rex ego pick. Edited February 26, 2017 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Why do people think Ragland is slow and not athletic? He played heavy at Alabama and still could chase down players. He was 259lbs. He lost weight and was looking fast in practice. He got down to the mid 240's. He may lose more weight, who knows.

Big Hurt Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That's a horrible idea. It is like to ask Ray Lewis play LB. In what universe does this make any sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Ragland is going to be a beast at MLB. This is nonsense. Preston Brown will be his backup, Spikes is gone. The real question is who are our other 2 LB's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott's defense requires a MLB that cries when he gets hit hard. Ragland won't cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
