Bear Hands

At the end of the day I can only hope for the best. Let's see what he looks like under Evero.

I'm enjoying the banter from both angles on this. The folks defending Morgan might wanna dig up some draft threads the last couple of years though. Ease up on the holier than thou a bit.

Brooks can play but 100% on Legette and this pick. 

Brooks can play, but his blew his knee out at the end of the football season.  Probably 2025 is when we really would see Brooks back in form.  Most guys aren’t a Peterson freak show.   They take time to get back up to where they were.

interesting, literally every weakness is coaching related. I guess they feel he didn't have good development at uk and they can provide it. He is Shaq's replacement, so he won't play much this year anyway. 

He will watch a ton of film, learn from the two vets in front of him, play special teams--remember, the focus is on developing him.  I wanted Wilson, but this tells me Wilson is not what he appears to be.  Hate it for him, because he can ball.

Purely speaking positional impact drafting RB and LB early in the draft has me nervous

The Ravens always value off ball linebackers early, seemingly they take one in the top 2 or so rounds every year. They are always regarded as one of the best drafting teams. I wouldn't worry too much.

Morgan was a big part of the worst rostered teams in the league for the past few years, this shouldn't surprise anyone. Pointless trade downs instead of just drafting BPA, drafting injured players, and reaching on RAS scoring players.............basically Fitterer 2.0.

Trevin Wallace

LB, UK

6-2 / 241 LBS

Grade Analysis

No grade analysis available.

Rating: 70.80 (Part-time contributor)
Pro Comparison: Kaden Elliss
Summary

Trevin Wallace is a stocky-ish but springy off-ball LB. Fast when he wants to be but really struggles beating blocks to the football. Will overtly avoid blocks to take himself out of the play on a routine basis. Not around the football much in coverage but demonstrated a keen sense of sinking in zone and has the athletic chops to run with TEs and RBs in man. That type of plus explosive athlete. Just doesn't always fully tap into it. Hip fluidity is good. Quality tackler. Rare to see a miss on film. Just needs to play with more authority/passion when tracking the football against the run. Has the explosiveness to be a stud blitzer but way too timid in those situations. Flexibility is lacking to work around the edges of blockers. Flashes of athleticism to be a good three-down 'backer in the NFL. Needs to crank the intensity tracking the football.

Strengths
  • Serious juice to the football when he sees his target
  • Fluid enough to sink in coverage
  • Awesome tackler
Weaknesses
  • Has huge problems beating blocks / tries to avoid them
  • Needs to play with more passion and energy

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
