When do you take Reuben Foster

[Setackin]

Just trying to see what the consensus is. He has a big attitude or at least maturity issue, and is fairly garbage in coverage. But hits like a bulldozer, is relentless and brings a football attitude and toughness that this Def hasn't had since RW 2002-2005

Personally I wouldn't even start thinking about him until the 4th or 5th, I just don't think he'll last long in the NFL. Injures will build up on him, already has a shoulder issue (and knee I think).

I wouldnt do it simply because whats lost in "value" is that you will wind up depending on a player that may at some time wind up missing a large chunk of time to suspension.

2nd. That is when Dallas takes the high ceiling "if they can just get over [insert issue]" types.

I still take him in the first. He's a top 5 talent in this draft. He never failed a drug test in college and had no drug red flags prior to this diluted sample, which he owned and personally told all 32 teams and the media himself. His being in the drug program is overblown, which as a first time offender is only a 90 day intervention, which is cleared if he is clean for 90 days.

He's an impact defender and has no real weakness. He's great against the run, a good blitzer, and despite a lot of what I read here, good in coverage. He's a complete and instinctual LB with the aggression the unit needs.

He'll be gone by the time we draft.

All the information that came out in regards to Rueben Foster lately, will still not effect Foster's draft status and will still go top 15 in the draft.

Yes, Weed is still banned in the NFL but that's not going to stop players from using it. Not now and not never.

At 28?

I'll respectfully disagree.

 

[Shake_Tiller]

Given his talent, if he falls as far as 28, his perceived issues most be awfully serious (a Gregory-like plunge). I would stay away. If the issues are deemed manageable, he won't be around to pick.

Please share a link to what ur talking about lol tackling a WR who just cause a 15 yard pass doesn't make him good in coverage.

If he if garbage in coverage, then even with perfect character, he shouldn't be a 1st round pick. In the modern NFL, a LB has to be good in coverage.

I'm not sure how good/bad he really is in coverage. Reports seem mixed. He looks like he has the speed but maybe not the instincts.

I've got him going to the Bears....2nd round.

I think the Bears would be thrilled to add Jonathan Allen DE Alabama And Reuben Foster LB Alabama 1st and 2nd round.

Come back w/ Brad Kaaya QB Miami in round 3....

They double up in the 4th w/ Gerald Everett TE South Alabama / Adam Bisnowaty RT Pittsburgh

5th round...Chad Williams WR Grambling St.

The steelers love their lbs. If he's there when they pick I'd be really suprised if they didn't take him in the 1st

I can see that too.....Tomlinson might think he can corral that type of player...and maybe he can. But it kind of seems like the Steelers take less risks than most teams. Shazier and Foster would make a nice ILB tandam.

 

[StarBoyz83]

It's hard to answer for me. Tired of Injured and risky guys. But he looks like a beast.

 

[haleyrules]

lol. Dare l say...the 2nd Rd...

 

[Gaede]

I'd consider him in 1. We need difference makers on D. Rarely do you have a chance on one at 28.

He doesn't have a history of these things. Unlike Gregory.

Honestly...If he's on the board come next Thursday night....I might be breaking out in a cold sweat. The guy is just a good football player. I would have never imagined a month ago he would be slipping this far down.

I just can't see Jerry swinging for the fences again so soon after getting burned by Gregory.

A LB corps of Sean Lee, Reuben Foster, and Jaylon Smith could be legendary (when healthy)

Most likely. Probably won't be an issue for us.

winter just ended and last I checked, they didn't need ice-scrapers in hell....so no, I don't want him...
