Damn he closes fast. Those long levers of his really help close the gap even quicker.

You were right about him being the pick. Kudos.

Here’s hoping that you are right about him.

I hope he’s a stud. I do like a lot about him... I just hope he can take on and shed in the pros. He certainly has the size to do so.

I always knew the guy from Blue Mountain State would get drafted

Thanks. Good read. Still not a big fan, but I am open to learning more

Between the physical ability, character makeup, and tape I would say that late first round is probably about right for Vander Esch. He’s still a pretty inexperienced player having just played 11-on-11 football for one season as a starter, but that only makes his production in 2017 all the more amazing to me. He strikes me as a hungry player who will take the underdog mentality that led to him walking on at Boise State to the NFL and that should serve him well. He profiles as a true 3-down linebacker

The defense got better tonight. Particularly the pass defense. LVE is the prototype MIKE in this scheme and its a crucial position here. I think you will be seeing him alot in deep zones this year. I really see him helping our Safety play.

I think the disappointment in the pick from some has more to do with just missing out on Edmonds and James and thats understandable. But we got a big peice to our defense and we still have our 3rd round pick we wouldnt have if we moved up

Marinelli is trying so hard to bring that garbage Tampa 2 back with this pick. Big guy that can move and cover deep middle.

Thanks for the info. Although I was not to thrilled with the pick mainly I am concern about his toughness and able to shed blocks. However, I do like his instincts which is something you can not teach. Hopefully he becomes a great player for us.

Kris Richard is in charge of the back seven in the defensive passing game.

It was Matt Eberflus' job the previous two seasons.

True. I am more upset that we did not get one of them and they were so close to us. Oh well hopefully LVE can turn out to. E a good pro.

Yeh so the Defensive Coordinator doesnt scheme and tell the passing game "manager" what they are trying to do? Got it.

This is my biggest concern. There is no replacement for experience. His size is a big plus. I think he compares to Rolondo McClain in that regard, but I think McClain was a lot more physical. I can't really complain about the pick, because there wasn't a lot available, and I didn't like any of the WRs or S left.

The best wr in the draft was on the board we took the 4th best LB

Growing up my parents use to tell us how they loved it up there. I guess they had some great memories there.

Yup, and we need speed on our defense, and we got speed at LB.
