BeastMode54 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 This is from Rotoworld. I knew nothing about him, but Wisco has great lineman and it seems like he was on his way to becoming a top guard. Why not take a chance on a guy to see if he can regain some form. Edwards started 45 games for the Rams over the previous four seasons after being selected with the 169th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. He performed at a high level for the Rams during his first three professional seasons before seeing 2022 derailed by injury, and would likely challenge for a starting guard or tackle position if signed. Also, last year was the only year he had issues with injuries 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his 2 full seasons as a starter 2020: pass - 64.4 run - 68.8 2021: pass - 70.7 run - 65.1 His overall grade during those 2 seasons was better than both Bates and McGovern. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'm not saying PFF is all that, one way or the other, but good to know. In 2020 he had 90% of the O snaps, and in 2021 he had 100% of the snaps. Kind of puts the injury thing on 2022 in perspective. He played well enough in 2021 to get himself an "NFL Proven Performance Bonus" for 2022. Then got hurt. Thanks again for the info.

If brought in, he’s legit competition, at the same time, the injury questions maybe make him cheap. More competition the better on the O line. I liked Bates a lot at the end of 2021 at LG. But he seems very so so last year at RG. What kind of money do you think Edwards is worth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he stayed healthy and his play was consistent, he was probably in line for something like McGovern got. So he has to rebuild his value.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Looks like he had a great year in 2021, playing 100% of the offensive snaps all the way through a Super Bowl victory. Got concussed last year and shut down. Should be ok with an entire offseason of recovery as well. Could be a sneaky huge signing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Yes please, I still think there is upside in Edwards. I think he has some RT flex as well. He played outside in college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was on is way to becoming one of the better guards in the league. People want competition for the interior guys, to me this is legit competition if it happens. Just turned 26. This. He wasn't great in 2022. Which is likely why he is still out there. But had he hit FA last season he would have been one of the first guards signed. Could be a classic Daryl Williams buy low scenario. If he returns to 2021 form he is better than Ryan Bates. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
