Don't know anything about him, but from what I read, he's absolutely terrible 

Juquan Johnson wasn't exactly inspiring on Sunday either.  I'd probably take the athletic first round upside over him anyday, because he did not look like belonged on an NFL field at all.

Know absolutely nothing about him. Assuming he's terrible if they would cut him as a recent first round pick? Any potential left in him that maybe McDermott/Frazier can unlock?

They didn't pick up his 5th year option, so he was only going to be around for half the season.  They tried to trade him & couldn't.

If you were mad at edmunds for the friendly fire hits that have hurt his teammates, you should vote no on Abrams 😜 

Cause the guy has hurt himself and multiple teammates more than once trying to obliterate whoever has the ball. He would need a specialized role for any team that wants him.

Played on one of the hardest hitting college Defenses I've ever watched at Mississippi State.   He, Jeffery Simmons, and Montez Sweat were absolute beasts in that defense.

 

That said, in terms of coverage, and angles he takes to ball carriers he probably is about as good as Jaquan Johnson but not much more.

 

Needs to add 15 lbs and play hybrid OLB.

Huge difference is Abram is an outstanding athlete with great speed. He needs coaching.

 

Joquan Johnson is a 4.7 speed safety. He can’t keep up.

Mike Mayock: Enjoyable on TV, but a legendarily bad NFL GM.

I never even understood why people liked this guy prior to him becoming a GM, unless it was simply because he wasn't Mel Kiper. Thought he sucked as a draft analyst and also as a commentator for Notre Dame games on NBC. And as you mentioned, he has to be one of the worst GM's in NFL history

He's a downhill thumper who has been a major liability in coverage...

Kind of what we need at this point. A guy that can play 3rd line backer to shore up this horrid run game. 
 

What this defense really needs is a guy like Tre White that can cover his side of the field. A shut down corner opens up so many possibilities for the defense and actually helps with run defense immensely.
