Would you draft Shaquem Griffin?

The guy had 3 ints before moving to LB. 

I remember we drafted a guy who they said would never be more than a KR specialist.   Turned out to possibly be the best receiver ever pound for pound.  

Pedigree football and a chip on his shoulder.  If he was there with our 2nd third round pick.   He'd be a Panther.

In the second round? Heck no. He at worst will be there in the 3rd since we have 2 picks i would think about it but more than likely would trade back up into the 4th to get him. And would i draft a one handed LB who broke the 40 yard dash combine record? YES. beyond that he has proven he can make plays he's not soft. He was a conference player of the year. And he could possible play that slot hybrid we have  been trying to do with shaq but he isn't really that good at. Absolutely i want him on my team tho. Norris has been foaming at the mouth for the guy since before the combine.

As a specialist on D, and and ST guy, he is worth the 3rd. He will be a difference maker even if he plays only 25-30 snaps a game. Worried about durability as he starts with a club every day. We know guys can be top D players with a broken, clubbed hand, so can this kid. My concern is like bounty gate, someone will aim to either take out the good arm,  bully him from his left side, or funnel him left into the line at the NFL level.

 

Honestly think a team takes him in 2nd. The form, athletic ability, and eats sleeps breaths football all point to a guy who will succeed I'm the NFL if put in the right role. Some coach will go to bat for him, point to the combine, and NCAA production as why the arm isn't a big deal.

For those who missed that UFC/Auburn bowl game interested in watching this kid play against top college competition, spend 10 minutes and watch this:

 

The speed obviously translates to the field which that’s a good thing. I think he can be a very successful positionless player in the NFL on defense. What I mean by that he reminds me of Shaq Thompson, Sua Cravens, and Deone Bucannon. Once TD retires Shaquem could definitely help ease that loss a little.  He could definitely take over in our sub package whIch he also has the ability to add a passing rushing element from blitzing as well. I’m all for taking him as early as the 3rd round.
