Quote:I think everyone falls in love with these new analytics stuff, and it certainly "pops" when you see that huge number or that huge web like you see with Beasley. But just like when it comes to arm strength with QBs, sometimes...having "good enough" is "good enough" if the guy has the feel for the game and the work ethic to improve. I've mentioned this quite a few times before, but Fowler's measurables compare favorably to Chris Clemons...the guy who the LEO was created for in Seattle.

 

i know, I already wrote up all of this in defense of Fowler a couple of times, too. If it is true that a lot of UDFA level athletes like Clemons was can be successful as a LEO, perhaps the position is kind of like the way the Seahawks/Gus Bradley late round mold of CB is, and we can just ignore the position until day 3 and find a quality fit. Who knows.
