He will have to show much more on defense than he did in college or excel at special teams to make the roster.

He wouldn't drop to the 7th if coverage was his only issue considering Sam LBs often come off the field or are used to rush the passer in pass situations.

He struggles with things you may not be able to teach. That is why he was still there in the 7th.

Coverage isn't his only issue though. As I listed above. And yeah Sams come off the field? Not sure what you are trying to argue here.

You said coverage was his main liability. So why would 32 teams pass on a "day one starter" for 6-7 rounds if his biggest liability is something he would rarely be asked to do in the first place?

I know coverage isn't his only issue. He has poor instincts against the run also which is why he went in the 7th rd.

I hope one day he becomes a perennial pro bowler, but with his current level of development, the odds of him being a starter this year are astronomically small.
