Rd 3, Pick 89 (25): LB Terrell Bernard, Baylor

[RyanC883]

just an awful pick.  could have traded down and got him.   Tiny, oft injured, most project him as a pure ST player/backup.  With other OL and WR on board this is off. 

[Jerry Jabber]

Sounds like he’s a good tackler and has good cover skills. Seems similar to Siran Neal.

Is he the 3rd LB if Bills play more 3 LB sets? Seems like he could put on some extra muscle... probably can cover TEs pretty well.

 

 

More teams going to 2 TEs this might be a very savvy pick - Big Nickel guy that has elite coverage skills and play in the box.  

 

Faster on defense right?

Nobody can cover a TE like Kelce

Oh yeah? How did Denver and Cincinnati do it? 

[Rock-A-Bye Beasley]

Now I'm actually mad we didn't trade up for Jameson Williams

I really like the cover 1 guys. 

 

They don't like the pick either.

I think this pick replaces Matakevich. We’ll see how he develops. Athlete with leadership skills. Instant special teams guy.

Not true. No one had an issue with him going in the first round

That is completely different than “consensus first rounder”.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

He’ll go to the Matt Milano School of Linebacking.

I think people might be not realizing how the modern game is changing. 250lb LBs are about to be dinosaurs. If you can get 10lbs on this kid and keep him clean with the Dline, he can probably be the Edmunds replacement. Especially if he plays as fast and as decisive as these scouting reports say….that’s the modern day/future NFL MLB mold right there. An almost Safety size player in the middle just flying around and making plays in the pass game. Sounds like this kid is the anti Edmunds and that’s probably what most of us have been accidentally asking for. A instinctive guy that plays fast and doesn’t just think and move like a robot out there.

This is a great point.  The game is changing and defensive SPEED is key to slowing down today's offenses.

The people last night pretending 4th rounders don’t make the roster may now have their illustration.

Do they like him as an eventual safety as well?

Kind of makes sense.

 

Not really. If we wamted a Safet we could have drafted Nick Cross.

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!

That’s quality insight… much appreciated

Not with a "he"

[Joe Marino]

Could have traded 3 6th roundes into the 4th to snag him

But that’s not answering my question though. Can he cover TEs like Kelce. 

Who knows? How many linebackers in the NFL can cover Kielce? He’s virtually the same size as Milano, faster, and was 11th in the nation in coverage stops.

 

I’m willing to wait and see before passing judgement

[Rocket94]

I found a film where guys are raving about him. Have to root for the guy and unleash him!
