ndirish1978 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) He's a rotational edge player with good speed who was a 3rd rd draft pick by the 9ers in 2015. https://www.prideofdetroit.com/2019/2/19/18203968/2018-detroit-lions-roster-review-did-eli-harold-add-enough-to-keep-him-around We could maybe be looking at him to play SAM as a backup too?

HappyDays Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I remember him, he was projected to go in the high 2nd round but fell to the 3rd. Wasn't he an OLB coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Definitely don’t think he’s here to play end, this is a great pre draft signing to fill a role in case they can’t land who they want in the draft. I like Beanes aggressiveness and backup plans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy has his shoulder checkup this week or next week I heard. He won’t sign anywhere until then but I think there’s a chance he comes here 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) 49ers drafted him to be a 3-4 OLB so size / speed (4.61 40) there to be SAM possibly? Maybe backs up Zo (played SAM in 24 starts in 16/17 with 49ers) or competes for backup DE. Was a backup DE in Detroit last year with no starts . Availability and versatility in a depth player is a good thing! He did sack Tom Brady twice vs Pats last year! Beats the Pats LT Brown badly here!

Mat68 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Lol my 4th DE in Madden. Good Height, Weight, Speed. Outside of him in the game dont know much. Imo brings more to the team as a pass rusher than Yarborough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I kind of like all these 1 and done contracts for younger players with starting experience. Doesn't lock us down, counts towards comp pick calculation and if we find a gem we have a ton of cap space to re-sign. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBillsFan Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Really light for a DE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really see OBD looking to try him as Zo's backup this year. Some amazing #s at Combine in 2015. Good edge setter versus Run at SAM per 49ers reports. Basically a one year audition. 4.60 SEC in 40 35.0 INCH vertical 123.0 INCH broad jump 7.07 SEC 3 cone drill 4.16 SEC 20 yd shuttle 11.81 SEC 60 yd shuttle http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/eli-harold?id=2552494 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 For all those saying he'll likely play SAM for the Bills: I doubt it. When the Bills sign players, they tend to list them on their little publicity graphics as the position they will play for the team. For instance, Maurice Alexander, even though he's primarily been a safety in his career, was listed as a linebacker. The fact that Harold is listed as a DE leads me to believe that he'll be playing DE. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Solid get -as are all the FAs signed this year. Still need another one and if we can sign one before the Draft, it locks in DT @ 9 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played SAM more than DE in league - and if he is just depth nice to have a dual backup on game day roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an outside linebacker for the 49ers, but they play a 3-4. As such, he was an edge rusher there. He was then, if I'm not mistaken, strictly an edge rusher for the Lions in their 4-3 defense. I'm not saying he CAN'T do it in the NFL, but I don't think he ever HAS done it. Edited April 10, 2019 by Logic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he CAN'T do it in the NFL, but I don't think he ever HAS done it. Just a case of semantics here my friend. Harold, 24, has made 24 starts in the NFL and has never missed a game. He’s played in multiple schemes, from 3-4 outside linebacker to the strong side in a 4-3 defense. With the Lions, he’ll be in Matt Patricia’s hybrid scheme, allowing him to play multiple spots. He was on the roster bubble in San Francisco and was in danger of being cut, so the 49ers saw it fit to acquire something in return rather than outright releasing him before Week 1. Harold started both of the 49ers’ first two preseason games this year as the coaching staff got a long look at his game. Mark Nzeocha will help replace Harold at Sam linebacker, but in today’s NFL where nickel packages are essentially the base defense, his loss won’t be a huge blow for San Francisco. There is a SAM position in a 3-4 and that is where he played for 49ers with 24 starts in 32 games. Same position Zo played in Rex's D. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
