Quote:For his first season I could see him rotating with Fowler at LEO, and being a key sub for the Pass Rusher package (Lightning?). Let him learn how to do one thing for his first year which for most rookie pass rushers is a learning year with reduced production anyhow. Ain't nothin' wrong with having lots of Pass Rushers and keeping them fresh.

 

Absolutely.

 

I will definitely be interesting in seeing where Spence is projected to go over the next few weeks. A week ago, he could've easily been had in the 2nd, then he moved up to the late 1st, and now he's moved up again. Production wise, he is easily worth the pick at 5, but Dempsey and O'Halloran were just talking about how serious teams view/viewed his off the field problems. I absolutely love that Gus was able to spend a week with him to really get a feel for the kid.

 

Still think best case scenario would be to get a guy at 5 (Bosa/Ramsey) and then move back into the 1st to get Spence.
