This pick makes a lot more sense to me than the Tanner Lee pick. Could potentially earn a spot working on special teams.

This pick has me hyped. I think at worst he will be a top special teams player for us.

This is my 3rd favorite pick behind Harrison and Chark. Granted I know nothing about this guy, but it has me hyped too. The kinda player that can make a name for himself in this league. (Not to jinx it, but I did feel this way about Larry Hart too... Eeek! - Lemme Live)

Awesome pick. Very athletic thumper with a great work ethic.

The SAM competition will be Jacobs and Brown. Jacobs profiles much better there and is real good at shedding blocks. Blair is still quite talented though so I wouldn't rule him out.

We need more special teams guys and he seems like he has a good chance to stick there.

Steal of the draft! This guy is straight up Telvin Smith's twin. He plays like a wild dog. He's out there knocking helmets off, and de-cleating guys. Scores TDs and gets turnovers.

He killed Pitt by himself. Totally wrecked that game. He's a game-wrecker. Cannot believe he fell to the 7th round.

Wow. Our LB unit is gonna be insane. Plus Brown back, with Jack and Telvin.

I wanted him in the 4th. That's how much I believe in his potential. The fact that he fell all the way to the 7th is astounding to me.

Oooohhh Myyy Lawd! Dude looks strong. Just think...he's gonna be knocking some TE's and RB's out of the game.

Glad he's on our side.
He is faster than Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette.

Idk much about him. Any idea why he dropped so far?

Sure looks like a STRONG-side linebacker.

Well he definitely has a future in bodybuilding if the NFL doesn’t work out. They said he played a little fullback too. We needed a new ripped Greg Jones style enforcer on the team.
