JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 What's the sell on Reddick? Wasn't he arrested for assault not so long ago? March 2015 (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/haason-reddick?id=2557887), but compared to the recency and dire nature of some of the other reports on similarly ranked prospects...

CommonCents Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 March 2015 (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/haason-reddick?id=2557887), but compared to the recency and dire nature of some of the other reports on similarly ranked prospects... Sure, I just wouldn't lead off with the word "character" when advocating for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 What's the sell on Reddick? Wasn't he arrested for assault not so long ago? I don't fully understand it either. He has a cool name, and played well in the senior bowl. However he played at Temple (American Athletic Conference) and played about only 60 percent of the defensive snaps.

harmonkillebrew Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm curious as to why you don't see Reddit as a top pass rusher he has the natural Bend and explosion off the staff that is extremely rare he has a motor that is always a hundred percent he has the ability to not just bend the corner but also uses hands and convert speed to power when you see all of those traits that are exemplified on the tape and then combine that with his athletic measurables at the combine it's extremely easy see why he would be a top-10 pick in my honest opinion like I said before he just seems like a slightly more inexperienced Von Miller or Robert Mathis or Cornelius Bennett But id also love reuben foster Glad some people are actually talking the merits of Reddick, which was the point. He's an interesting prospect, but is not being drafted as a DE or 3-4 OLB, his college position. He was a Safety when he first got to college, but was good at pass rush so they used him there. But he is projected as a 4-3 OLB in the pros. And with his 4.52 speed and coverage abilities, he seems to be a good fit. I do think that position change will keep him out of the top 10, so threw in the trade down option. But really I'd take him at 10. What do people think about going OLB with our top pick and not CB or WR. Most seem to discount OLB as a top need, but who else do we have that fits?? I think its a huge need for McD's defense. CB can be filled by a cover 2 guy in the 2nd. Darby is our #1 man, when we need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilzfancy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 IMO, he's a Ryan Shazier clone, take him at 10, and don't look back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
