I believe this guy can replace Jaylon Smith by end of the season. Unlike Jaylon he is a true ILB that can stop the run and cover in space.
He's a hot little fireplug!

This could have been a good thread if you could resist the hyperbole.
The chance of Jaylon being replaced is extremely low and the probability of Jaylon being replaced in 2020 by a rookie UDFA is basically zero.
I've watched everything I could find on Bernard.
He is not a wow athlete but he was a very good football player in college.
He has a good understanding of coverage and he often plays takes on and sheds blocks from OL in the run game.
Brugler had him ranked #14 on his off-ball LB list and projected him as a 4th to 5th round pick.
Bernard in some ways reminds me of Anthony Hitchens. Both are only about 6' tall and neither have wow type athleticism, but both are very effective football players.
For those that don't remember, Hitchens was a Cowboys 4th round pick in 2014 and developed into a very solid LB.
- He signed a 5 year, 45M contract with the Chiefs in 2018 and was a starting LB on the 2019 Super Bowl champion KC Chiefs.
The writing is already on the wall, why are they switching his position on defense.
If your franchise QB can get replaced with a blink of an eye so can any overpaid Defensive or Offensive player.

Grow up. Dak did not get replaced.
OLB is a premium position in new D-Coordinator Mike Nolan's defense.
Nolan likes big OLBs that can play right up on the line but that can also handle all normal off-ball LB duties.
one was rated as a top 5 LB before his injury and since recovered and showed he can play at high level in the NFL. the other is an UDFA who just signed...
So much that they are moving him to a different position. Dude is a bust.
How does he play football though?
