SCBills Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Sneaky how they used Kyle Brandt to try and hype us up for the most underwhelming pick of Beane’s tenure. 2 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) extract from Beast - Brugler - rated him 4th round - number 12 LB First Team All-Big 12; Led team in tackles; Missed one game due to knee injury; Team captain; Sugar Bowl MVP STRENGTHS: Plays with plus speed and range … moves well laterally to track the football up-and-down the line of scrimmage … trusts his eyes and diagnoses quickly vs. the run to fill (Rhule: “He’s just a great football mind.”) … resets his vision well to adjust his movement patterns on the fly … has the foot quickness to give blockers the slip … alert and active in zone coverage with smooth coverage transitions … flow-fast blitzer who finished his career No. 3 in school history in sacks (16.5) … adequate length and tackling strength with room to add bulk … wants to be a strength coach after his playing days and invests in his conditioning … disciplined by nature and was a senior captain (head coach Dave Aranda: “When I think of the heart, soul, and character of our team, I think of him.”) … productive with a pair of 100-tackle seasons on his résumé. WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal size by NFL standards … adequate vision, but his anticipation is lacking … tends to see the ball through a straw and must do a better job locating impending blockers … doesn’t have explosive hands when attacking blocks … overaggressive downhill and can get sucked up too far or out-leveraged on the edge … reactive in coverage and can be caught flat-footed in man-to-man … battled through several injuries in college: suffered a season-ending fractured shoulder nd torn labrum that required surgery (November 2020); broke his right hand that required surgery (November 2019), but didn’t miss any time; missed one game as a senior because of a knee scope (September 2021); redshirted in 2017 after breaking his foot … didn’t play on kickoff coverage in college. SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Baylor, Bernard was the weakside linebacker in head coach Dave Aranda’s 3-3-5 base scheme and played mostly to the field side. He consistently filled up the stat sheet with 8.4 tackles per game over the past three seasons, and both of his head coaches in Waco (Rhule and Aranda) were eager to praise his leadership and integrity. Bernard is always involved in plays because of his play speed and inside-out range, showing the ability to unlock and accelerate in any direction. He tends to be too reactive at times and doesn’t have the play strength or heavy hands to quickly dispose of blockers at the point of attack. Overall, Bernard is undersized and doesn’t have the anticipation of a playmaker, but he has disciplined eyes and athletic range to cover space, projecting as a fourth linebacker and potential down-the-road NFL starter Edited April 30, 2022 by First Round Bust sp 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don't know what to think (I never do) - but special teams is too often overlooked as a reason to prioritize players. Having a leader & impact player in that unit could be big reasoning here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Interesting. we drafted a LB with great instincts and decisiveness that knows how to work through traffic. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEBills Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Total McDermott pick Baylor’s coach Dave Aranda is a close buddy of McD. I think this is a poor pick being the third round is early for him. they must have been worried he would go prior to our fifth round pick. However, last pick McDermott got Aranda’s insight on was Tre White as he had been Tre’s DC at LSU. So let’s hope they know a lot more than we do!

buffblue Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Won't lie, this is a very disappointing draft so far. It seems the attitude is "We have Josh Allen, so who needs playmakers on offense. And while we're at it, let's draft a 5th rounder in the 3rd." Are we becoming the Packers of the AFC? 1 4 3 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
