And he looked amazing doing it. 'Guessing' coming from a player that young is another word for natural instinct, and they neutered his play by putting him at safety in the role he was in. They wasted one year hoping he gets that magic in another position and are probably wasting more upcoming. Just dumb.

Maybe he shifts back to something more like the Joker role he was in his rookie year and gets back to excelling. At the moment though his talent appears to be somewhat wasted.

I've got to agree. His instincts make him a better linebacker. My only worry is that his build might be a bit slight for the role and I'd worry about his durability there.

Still, how he played at LB was spectacular and once he left that position we suffered.

...says Phil Snow, on the advice of Steve Wilks

Let me say for the record that I respect the hell out of Steve Wilks.

And with that said, I disagree with this decision.

We’re gonna trade down and draft Nakobe Dean or Lloyd aren’t we? What do we have…two linebackers on the entire team who can play significant snaps?

Chinn is naturally a strong safety who should play in the box most plays like Kam Chancellor so this makes a lot of sense. He is not a coverage FS like Earl Thomas so as long as we don’t play him in that role like we did last year then I’m happy. He could play LB sure but he fits better at SS.

He was an impact player at LB against the pass and the run.  I think in today's game you need someone like him at LB to cover the TE.  He just seemed to fade into nowhere last year IMO.  

He had 107 tackles last year but the only time I remember seeing him was his interception (only one of the year) vs Buffalo. Big change from his rookie year where he was frequently in the middle of things.

In Chinn's rookie season when he lined up at LB often, he had:

  • 1 interception
  • 5 pass deflections
  • 2 forced fumbles
  • 2 fumble recoveries
  • 1 sack
  • 5 QB hits
  • 117 combined tackles (68 solo, 49 assists)
  • 2 tackles for loss

In his sophomore season at safety:

  • 1 interception
  • 5 pass deflections
  • 1 forced fumbles
  • 1 fumble recoveries
  • 1 sack
  • 5 QB hits
  • 107 combined tackles (75 solo, 32 assists)
  • 6 tackles for loss

After being moved 10yds further away from the line of scrimmage, Jeremy Chinn had only 10 less tackles (but 7 more solo tackles), 1 less fumble recovery, 1 less forced fumble, and 4 more tackles for loss.

I get that folks love their highlight reels, but how can anybody be claiming that he "disappeared" when the stats clearly show otherwise? Hell, he improved his TFLs while being 10yds further away from the line of scrimmage! 😮

We have to go over this everytime a S of ours puts up ghost stats. You know it's a bad thing when your cover S puts up 100 tackles right? And that it always because of shite lb play right?

He should be at lb 

Also just check where most s get drafted compared to lb ... Says a lot

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
