AT PICK 19,HE BETTER BE.

 

[coult44]

Would be so nice if he's a day 1 starter.

BARRING INJURY,HE WILL BE. You don't draft a guy that high to use him as a back up. IMO..you draft elite players in round 1.If not,its a failure.

A lot of crow will be ate.

[Sydla]

He looks IIke a pretty good blitzer like Smith was.

Wonder if Sir Rod will loosen up his blitzes this year?

 

[JoeKing]

How does this kid compare to Luke Kuechly?

 

[Bowdown27]

Hope this kid learns from his all pro mentor Sean Lee lol stay healthy we can have a very good one

we wont know until we see him in a real game. We can watch all the college tape in the world..it doesn't guarantee anything.

I mean yea kinda.... Would you say the same thing if you were a team drafting a QB in round one? What's the difference? MLB is the quarterback of the defense. I hate that type of thinking. The best way for any player to succeed is to let him learn a year under a capable veteran and then Take over... Taco was horrific last year. He was thrown on to the field because of this type of logic. Same with Byron Jones. Both of these guys had NO reason to be starting other than there weren't a lot of ither options. We are in the same position at LB where there really isn't anyone else because we have one great LB and another one who's on one leg. LVE is gonna start but it's not the smartest move if you have other guys.

Yeah I was excited for Derwin but I really am happy to have LVE as well.

Someone needs to explain to Rod what a blitz is first.

 

[lostar2009]

Last year it was Jayron correct? I'll keep my Kool aid in the fridge until the movie start.

Cause he can fly sideline to sideline and has a nose for the ball? I'm guessing.

I admit - I'm hyped.
Jaylon's brace is off and has a year under his belt... Lee is Lee and this kid.

I'm ready to watch.

I wanted Vea but no complaints about this kid.

yes. This is a win now league,period. Its not the same as when we drafted Troy..yes we started him because he was drafted 1 overall..but we actually sat him for a while too. Now if that happens,the guy gets cut or traded,which almost happened to Troy. Look at Watson last year. The kid started a ton of games,then got hurt. Look at Kizer in Cleveland. They drafted him high,started him..now he's gone. May be out of the league in another year. The moral of the story is YES...for better or worse,when you draft a QB,more times than not,that player will start at some point in his rookie year. You see it every year. Maybe its not always fair or right,but that's reality. I expect my round 1 player to come in and start and be a difference maker day 1.
