What's so bad about an axe murderer if he can get 15+ sacks? Just don't let him bring an axe to TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, if the guy falls and is bpa you would just pass on him? Say he is there in the 3rd round, Nah we have Bolton.... In the first 3 rounds you are looking for guys that can play a significant number of snaps out of the gate. It's a necessity with Pats contract. With Gay, Chenal, and Bolton we should have one of the better young LB groups in the league moving forward. Would you really want them to draft a guy who's basically injury depth, in round 3? Or do you want someone else coming off the field so Campbell gets snaps? That's a lose lose. Contributors on rookie deals are the most valuable player asset in the league outside a franchise QB. They've invested two 2nd round picks and a 3rd at LB and they all look like they can ball. I understand BPA. But I think we all know by now that it's really BPA at a position of need. oldtimer and mex 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, I am not thinking this will remotely happen, but Chenal was no bar burner or played a lot. Upgrading any position if we can should be a thing we do. oldtimer, arrowhead and Palangi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the best OT, EDGE, WR, or even S (if Thornhill isn't extended)? Would you take a QB if he was the best player available at #31? No, but would you take the 8th rated OT over a 3rd rated say at LB? Again, Chenal could be upgraded. We can do this all day. Do we take the 10th rated safety over a 3rd rated CB because it is a position of need etc. Palangi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the player but we have far bigger needs for a day 2 pick than to replace or back up an off ball linebacker when we already have a plus level starter there on a rookie contract. mex and Palangi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chenal actually fits what Spags has historically looked for there like a glove. Further l, in the modern game, the Sam is only gonna see the field in base, so about 20% of the time. Break it down further and Chenal has the ability and potential to also play in Sub as a secondary rusher. What Campbell does well is not what Chenal does well and vice versa. In Spags system, Campbell is a Mike not a Sam. Also while Campbell did test very well... SEMO and oldtimer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird because campbell does run support well, is a tackling machine and very good at it plus has range ro drop in coverage if asked to do as a sam. He has great size for a lb and can fill gaps easily. MLB have all of these traits so again, I doubt we get him but having him as an upgrade and then back up if an injury to Bolton ever happened would boy be the worse thing for us.

Opportunity cost my man. You're looking at the 2nd round for him. That means you're not upgrading at a more important spot with one of your premium picks. Pass rusher, offensive tackle, safety, receiver, nose tackle... all need immediate help. If we want to repeat that means smart drafting. Now if he falls to late day 2 or early day 3 you can consider it. But that's not gonna happen. Even then I would only consider a Will at that point and only if you're not gonna resign Gay. Personally I don't think Campbell has the man coverage chops to play Will at a super high level. Palangi and jetlord 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s because Chenal plays a different spot from Bolton. chenal plays there over hang backer over TEs. Bolton is MLB. using a 2nd or 3rd rounder a guy that would be a back up and really only get on the field if there is injuries would be bad Draft management. That should be more 5th or 6th rounders oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's more of a zone defender and is too stiff for man. Plus as you say the speeds not there. Great athlete, like the player, but the team need is not there.

jetlord 10,209 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Why, in the above posts, do they have KC picking 30 and the Eagles at 31? Must have been published before the SB. JSN would be a good addition, but I'd rather have a DE or OT if available rather than another slot receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Doesn't matter. Unless he just tanks the 40 at his pro day his combine puts him out of reach. WRs were pretty disappointing overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
