The clip mentioned he was a linebacker and moved to DE.  Could we move him back to linebacker?

This is what I was thinking. With that speed and athleticism he wouldn't really need to put on weight to play linebacker.

This is the pick I hate the most. Yeah he has speed but lacks technique. I feel like the players with good technique do better in the nfl then your players who are great physically.

I’m a big fan of length at the DE spot. I don’t know that there were better players available and I guess he’s new to the position so maybe technique can still be unlocked

I'm just happy we're actually picking elite athletes with potential instead of players like Gaulden and Armanti Edwards.

Armanti won at least one game for us and did stay in pro football for a long time. 

This is the pick I dislike.

The guy has motor issues. He has technique issues he's worse than the Miller kid we got from Bama.

I mean I’d argue that he had one of the worst coaching staffs in all of power 5 football.

When I was watching Willis (Liberty) play Tech, Barno stood out quite a bit (which he should against G5 players).

He didn’t have the production that Marquise Haynes had in college but a lot of their flaws are similar… undersized, has no moves in package (only speed), non-factor in the run game, etc…

Personally I attribute his “motor” issues to just being on a downright horrible VT team the past two years. I don’t think he was in a great situation to be developed.

With his athleticism I think he gives Pasqualoni a lot to work with.

As he gets older he is naturally going to put on weight.. So I like the fact he will do it under the supervision of a pro staff..

    • Damn Logan Jones had a good day too. Was high on him coming in as he anchored that top Iowa line and is a fire plug inside. He's gonna be 25 to start the season so maybe he slips into the 4th but I doubt it, even if C isn't a premium position. His play on the field was top notch and the combine boosted it again. Arm length is about the only knock. But guy is plug and play at C.   This is a loaded class at C. Need to grab one. 
    • Bryce will be permanently replaced by a draft pick. There's not another Sam Darnold out there to save us. Tepper is going to see this throw because he dumped Mayfield and Darnold too soon. He's going to give it 1 more year before he will sign off on dumping another 1st round pick qb. Thats the cold hard truth of it. It doesn't mean we can't get younger and much better at the backup position. 
    • Maybe I should have used a different word and saved that for me. I want someone that has something impressive about them.  Someone that has potential to supplant a guy who is producing 25th best type of numbers. 22nd, 27th all that bottom third neighborhood.  I don’t know where that will come from it just can’t be from even a 4th round pick this year IMO. Unless FA is crazy productive.    I’ll give Bryce a better than bottom rating for his playoff game. Well above low twenties. But at least half of his games were bottom third level. Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of them were.
