LB Charles Snowed out of Virginia

Anyone else really like this guy. 6'7" with tons of length, athleticism and speed. He would need to have a scheme fit for him, but he looks like he'd be a monster linebacker in zone coverage with the ability to rush the passer and play the run on the outside. He'd certainly have to have special packages to take advantages of his traits, but the guy has the instincts and freakish ability. Having him behind our line, and the blitzes we could bring with him and dropping Burns into coverage, and vice versa would create a lot of opportunities. I don't care whether he is a scheme fit for 3-4 or 4-3, to me he's just a weapon you figure out how to use. In the 4th round he'd be a steal IMO.

He was a hell of a College football player - always stood out when the Canes played him.

I'm not sure how he projects to the next level though - I suspect he's going to get bullied, but who knows. 

That said if I was a 3-4 team I'd take him to play OLB in the third round.

Really interesting prospect. Off the ball LB with ideal edge rusher length. His evaluations are probably all over the board across the league. He's one of those guys who could end up going a lot higher than most think because it's easy to see how a team could have him valued pretty highly. Other teams are going to be nervous about his height and the relative lack of comps for off the ball LBs.

He reminds me of Simmons from last year absent the ability to play some man coverage, and I don't think Simmons is being asked to play as much man in the NFL as he was in college.  Snowden just plays a lot like him in the box, and I think he'd be a great value.  He'd be great covering running backs and TE's coming out of the backfield in zone coverage. He's so big and long, he'd immediately deter a QB from making short passes in a quick passing game. He'd just erase a large part of the middle of the field and be a monster in the flats.

Get him on a pro team weight and nutrition program for a season and you can build your own monster.

If he made it to the fourth or fifth round, I'd have to take a chance on him.

Sheesh put him on special teams and make the other team's punter wet himself at each fourth down snap.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
