BuffaloRebound Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 He’s basically the LB version of Clowney and we got him at 16. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Some important caveats but, wow, this guy's excited about Edmunds! Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm so much more excited about Edmunds than Allen. He looks like a star in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Murray Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I think he could be an absolute beast. The downhill steps point he makes becomes a little moot when you consider he had a large amount of tackles for a loss and was a Butkus award finalist. He did attack, and was successful. I think his ability to cover makes him a prototype for the modern NFL, and also makes him very dangerous blitzing as he will switch from cover to blitz keeping everyone guessing. i think a tremendous pick, and was happy to pay what we gave up to go get him (was not thrilled wit hthe draft capital we paid to move up for Allen) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The factor that excited me most learning about him is that he is only 19. We have so much potential if we groom and coach him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Incredibly excited about this pick. I think we got a more athletic Anthony Barr, and cannot wait to see him lead our defense. I've heard people say he is a bit raw, but I think he will produce quite well in his first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the chances of Edmunds being a star are greater than Allen's. But as a fan, I'm hoping we defy the odds and both turn into stars.

Bray Wyatt Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 this is our kuechly, this guys coverage ability at his size is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I believe Lorax will play the mentor role with him and teach him how to study run schemes, coverages and how to be a pro. Could be a good thing in first year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some bad habits at LB, though, and won't be able to make up for them with raw talent at the pro level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the question these days always comes down to: how much time do they get to develop? This isn't the 80's, where high draft picks get five years to grow. And that's really what Edmunds and Rosen need. Will they get it? Or will someone pull the plug after three? Or even dumber...will people decide they're busts irrespective of performance because they cost too many draft picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because once they change coaching staffs and schemes, all of these picks are on borrowed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's really what Edmunds and Rosen need. Will they get it? Or will someone pull the plug after three? Or even dumber...will people decide they're busts irrespective of performance because they cost too many draft picks? With fans, especially around here, they will be called busts after the first pre season game, or future all pros depending lol One thing this coaching staff has that the others didnt, is that they got the playoff monkey of their backs, so it affords them more time. Both of these picks scream long term thinking to me, and with how Beane and McD seem to be in lockstep, I think they will try to be patient. But who knows how quickly these guys learn, and how quickly they may be forced to play due to either injuries or lack of talent ahead of them.
