Imagine a draft of Miles Jack at 5, shoring up the need at OLB for speed/coverage, a guy like Dodd or Lawson, should they somehow fall to round 2, and then Killebrew at SS, it would be hard not to look at our Defense and get pretty excited about it.

 

I'd be excited too, but I'd have tempered expectations on the rookie impact. Even for a box safety in this scheme - there's a learning curve. 

 

I still have a small glimmer of hope in Cyp playing better when more dedicated to the box. But, yeah,  his tackling has been too inconsistent and he's taken some bad angles and missed some gaps. 

And we really have no clue about Sample since his, wait for it, "sample-size" of film is so small.  

 

While a guy like Killebrew may be an immediate upgrade - I'm still leery of using a third rounder simply due to what I see as more pressing needs. I'd not dislike the pick if they go that way  - I'd only wonder if more urgent fixes could have been addressed.
