Tress Is The Way Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) And for anyone saying it's a reach, I say no. It's a perfect complement to what our division rivals did. Sheagles and Gnats took two small WRs that will most likely be slot guys. So we take Jamin, a high motor, high character, non flashy LB pick. Reminds me of Kerrigan in a way coming out. Just makes sense. A need is not a reach. Edited April 30, 2021 by ZarG3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Acre Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 1 hour ago, 50yrSKINSfan said: Not thrilled with this pick. Sure the guy is a good athlete but he was not rated in the top 20 or even the top 40. Why do we need a project at 19? How many O linemen did we pass on to get him? Every team that needed a QB got one except us. I'm confused. You sound like what's called on politics boards, a concern troll. Not rated by whom? The comic book guy on The Simpsons? The talking head who lied about quitting his job if Jimmy Clausen (did i get it right this time?) didn't pan out? I'm about to make some "your mother" wisecracks so I'll just ease up from here. Two former LBs running this team -- head coach and DC -- wanted him and knew he wouldn't be there at 51. How much does Bruce pay you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the disadvantages (or perhaps an advantage in this case) of reaching 80 is that new names often become a blur. There are so many posters here that I often get confused or can’t remember who said what. So I often react to what’s in front of me rather than historical context. Your point is well taken all the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was apparently the top ranked D player on our board, which does surprise me with the CB’s there, but heck, let’s see how it plays out. You're saying that because he's from the UK We've got our Kuechly ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbothwel Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Am I the only one seeing the parallels? - Underrecruited freak athlete with limited tape. - Willing to play any position/role to help the team. Special teams ace. - Quiet, serious demeanor that you can tell loves to grind Terry McLauren? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes he gets it wrong and puts himself out of position. That's his biggest flaw. If he fixes that... he's going to be special. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max21 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Really really glad we got a linebacker, no more seeing Bostic 10 yards behind Saquon/Zeke. When Fields started to fall it made me a bit excited we had a chance, so any pick at the time was somewhat of a disappointment. After waking up I feel good about it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely are showing a trend lately with some of our earlier picks, taking guys with high character and explosive athletic traits but very limited college tape. So far it seems to be working pretty well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 looking around, the worst I've seen Davis ranked is fifth of sixth best LBs and the guys ranked ahead of him in those places didn't get picked in the first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 PFF graded him out (81) as the best LB in the conference and his tackle numbers and interceptions ranked with the best. It would be objectively wrong to say he is only about measurables. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be objectively wrong to say he is only about measurables. Either way most seem to think he has room to grow. That combined with already being able to move Bostic makes me happy. Darrisaw would have been nice, but between his surgery and Davis upside I can get behind this pick. Several guys with injury questions went around this pick as well. I like that raw is the current negative vs injury concerns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrepDC Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Rivera gave some great insight in the press conference. One of my favorites is when he spoke about, in the process of scouting, going from pro day to pro day. He says that they pay attention to who's showing up where, and the Team paid attention when all the LB guys (coaches and scouts) showed up to see Jamin. Also I noticed how he continuously speaks of Jamin's character and background. I can tell that he feels he has his next LB apprentice. Mayhew spoke about a few things as well. My favorite point was him saying that Jamin loves and enjoys the grind of football. You have to love it and with his potential, that mindset opens up the possibilities. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very. It’s all strategic. Even things like body language and perceived interest if they are at a workout are very large parts of the strategy of the draft. These guys for have a beer or dinner and they feel each other out. Dropping kernels of truth alongside false opinions to get a gauge how the other guy feels, sometimes looking for little things like raising of the eyebrows. For some coaches it’s very heavy psychologically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF had him ranked 41, but they're dog**** at projecting players out of college. They had the Chargers last year as draft losers for drafting Justin Herbert. Think about that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
