Myles Jack Strong safety?

[stilltheguru88]

I think hed be the best strong safety in the nfl immediately. Thoughts? And hes played the position before.

Nope... hes' a 4/3 MLB....or a Running Back.

Be a complete waste

Q: What position do you think Myles Jack will play in the NFL? Outside linebacker? Strong safety?

A: I think he’ll stay at outside linebacker, maybe in a 4-3 scheme. His coverage ability is his best attribute, and that’s a premium skill at linebacker in today’s NFL. I think keeping him in the front seven is a better way to utilize his versatility, but he’s certainly a viable candidate to play strong safety too. It might depend on what the team that drafts him needs more badly.

Sideline to sideline speed and coverage ability at Lb doesn't translate to Safety. He's 6.1 and 245lbs.

Hes played between 225 and 245. Sean taylor was 6'2 235.

Jack has the athleticism & tools to play in pretty much any scheme...but I think he would be a great fit in Marinelli's scheme at MLB. Brian Urlacher played as a hybrid LB/S in college (3-3-5 scheme). He also had 6 TD's on offense & 5 TD's on kick returns. Similarly, Jack impressed on offense at RB...has covered the slot, and is outstanding in coverage from his LB position.

Urlacher played a good deal of his NFL career under Lovie Smith...who utilizes the same scheme as the Boys do.

More impact playing closer to LOS. Can cover TE or RB easily and disguise blitz. Great 3 down LB.

 

[stilltheguru88]

To be honest, I watched some clips of him at lb and he looks weak at the POA.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Didn't we move Lee to wlb to save his body? Jack looks smaller than Lee. I dont get it. Urlacher was huge.

Frankly, I don't see that at all. There are times when he plows into the OL and they just stagger back. He delivers a jolt.

Look some more.

I think some of those was from true sophomore year. 2014 he was built almost like a RB. If you see the one from this year you notice a significant increase in body built and power he delivers.

That would be a waste. Su'a Cravens is the only top OLB I would move to safety.

Yep...Urlacher was a big dude...owning a somewhat rare blend of size, athleticism & instincts for the position.

Unfortunately, Lee has been prone to injury since his college days. His last severe injury basically occurred on a non-contact play...with his knee buckling and giving out before Martin engaged him.

Some guys are seemingly capable of holding up & playing well despite a smaller stature. A recent example from this past season would be Kwon Alexander, who at 6-1/228, started 12 games for the Bucs at MLB and notched 93 tackles, 3 sacks, 9 passes defensed, 2 Int's, and 2 forced fumbles.

Some of the smaller/more athletic guys can also use speed & instincts to navigate blockers & make plays.

Have seen Jack listed in the 240+ lb. range.

I like this outside the box thinking but I'm not taking a first rounder with knee injuries.

would you have taken Gurley last year if he fell to the Cowboys spot?

Jack can play Strong Safety but he will be going higher than a SS normally does in the draft. LB's are worth more than SS's. If you draft him to play SS you are probably paying too high of a price for a SS but if he ends up being a really good one it is worth it. Noone wants to improve the secondary more than me.

Su'a Cravens is another LB that could play SS. This draft has some really strong SS possibilities but they are all likely gone before the 3rd Rd.

Give me Karl Joseph out of WVU who is rehabing an acl late in the draft.

I like him with our 3rd round pick if we miss out on Cravens, Cash, Bell, and Kearse with our 2nd.
