This is a good pick:

LB Corp of Davis, Beason, Anderson

with depth of Connor and Norwood. Very solid group. The depth is what I like. If, God Forbid, Beason or Davis goes down, we have players to plug in and hopefully not have too big of a drop off.

Not to mention the possibility of a coaching change and the movement to a 3-4 next year, in which Norwood is molded for.

i have a feeling they're going to try to fit him at DE. but if they keep him at LB i think he'll right away challenge connor/anderson.

I think he's an eventual project at DE tbh. So don't judge this as OMG ANOTHER LB WTF just yet.

not sure about playing at DE but he will be predominately a pass rusher. could add a nice element to the defense. having him and thomas davis on the field at the same time could make for some nightmarish situations for QBs. we might do some 3-4 on passing downs instead of the 3-2.

project player, best fit for a 3-4 OLB

what fox loves on defense: someone who can play multiple positions. insurance for if Thomas Davis isn't the same after his injury.

Norwood can't play Davis's position, so I don't see how that is the case.

i feel bad for james anderson. so much potential and then we draft dan connor and now eric norwood. oh well though, such is life. norwood should immediately compete for the remaining linebacker spot. i can't believe if beason and davis both go down we can still have anderson, connor, and norwood in the game. good night ... our team rules.

From what I've read online... he looks like a Meeks type small/fast DE in a 4-3 instead of an OLB. Apparently he was a beast at SC, played all four years and stayed healthy.

Ding,ding,ding. we have a winner. You are exactly right. This is Meeks continuing to build his style of defense. Quick and speedy. Last year he had to install his system using the guys we already had. This year he gets his guys, or at least some. Small, quick guys with monster motors is Meeks, not the bigger, slower guys.

Will Meeks system succeed?? Guess we will see.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
