6'4" 220lb rook with high ceiling.
Is DO playing behind Clark on the depth chart, if he puts some weight on does he compete with Sam?
Trying to figure out where this rook stud competes and finds his role early.

Seems like they plan on moving him around and playing him in a number of spots. From what I've gathered, I'm guessing he ends up in Kearse's role before its all said and done.

Gonna be fun to see what role the “Heat Seeking Missile“ will play here. I dont expect to see him rushing the passer much but his prior experience at playing in the secondary should make his coverage skills top shelf when asked to drop back in coverage

Maybe, but Kearse is in a solid position, he owns that role currently.

Sort of what I was thinking. Eventually will replace Kearse but right now I think he's gonna be playing some linebacker.

He does. And signed a not so bad contract. If he keeps playing well I can see them bringing him back. Safety market seems all out of wack with what he got and what CGJ just got.

Thats my opinion early of DO, he can run better with big fast hands TEs than anyone on the roster.
Its a bold claim, but I believe he actually can be.

He’s a Fa after this year

Yep, and Jabril Cox better figure out a way to back up LVE quickly or he will be cut this camp.

Man I'm rooting for him....but I just felt like we needed linebacker help last year and they wouldn't even put him out there. If he makes it out of training camp then maybe that means they feel better about him than I thought.

Eventual starter. Might kick Cox off the roster. He's gonna be a good one. I'm sure DQ has a plan.

He is a saftey/LB combo in the.mold of Kearse. Quinn likes that type of player. He has molded this defense to his scheme over the past three years. Now a bigger, versatile deep DL that he can use in different fronts. A LB/DE combo in Parsons to use as a chess piece. Long, tall DB field with ability to roam, couple of them.can play man and press. Bunch of safeties that can drop or play close to LOS and blitz.

Flexible, rangy, attacking and looking for turnovers all the time

Apparently the story with Cox is "one step forward, two steps back." They don't trust him.

No doubt. Kearse is great in that role, but he signed a 2-year contract last spring. Lots of big contracts coming up. Will the front office extend him if there is another promising player on the roster?

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Sort of what I was thinking. Eventually will replace Kearse but right now I think he's gonna be playing some linebacker.

Agreed. Camp and preseason will tell us alot about how they plan on using him. They could certainly use the help at linebacker depth for now if that's the road they plan on taking.

Anyone want to suggest not putting too much on his plate, in some cases it's too much for these players a la Jalen Tolbert????

No

Overshown has lots of raw athleticism. His upside is very high but I expect there will be somewhat of a learning curve his rookie year. My expectations are he will need some time to adjust to the pro game. Maybe by mid-season we will start to see some of his potential.
