I’ve heard of him - but only because he was always hanging around near the top of best available when I would do the mock simulations. NFL.com draft guys did a couple of blurbs on him and others as the new breed of run and chase ‘too small’ LB’s that are perfect for the new NFL.
He’s a ST guy day 1.
Holy Shit - We got Justin Fields!

Eagles grabbed their 2018 Mike Mamula in Josh Sweat.

It feels like they’re not trying if the guys ceiling is ILB4 and special teams

I get the sense that Pace/Fangio don’t see the long-term answer at Edge anywhere in this draft.

Seahawks drafted both Griffin and Dickson. They won't be able to protect Wilson but they're going to be fun as hell to watch on ST's.

Seeing how far most of these EDGE guys fell - it seems like most teams are thinking the same.

That’s quite possibly the dumbest fucking draft take you’ll ever see.
His own fucking publication had a 3rd round grade on fellow FCS DE PJ Hall.

We just drafted a guy in Fitts who was literally injured in every game he did (and mostly did not) play at Utah.
Ugh.
Ugh.

He may as well retire and Pace should probably be lined up and shot for wasting a precious, invaluable 6th round pick on this obvious bust.Hiphopopotamos wrote:We just drafted a guy in Fitts who was literally injured in every game he did (and mostly did not) play at Utah.

I didn’t say he was a bust - seemingly he has a ton of potential - but this kid has literally been injured every time he steps on a football field.
I think I would have rather spent the pick on a high upside kid who can stay on the field but needs more coaching/focus.

Fitts was a top 10 reqruit. I’d say he has potential.

Tell that to all these buffoons on twitter and around the Bears intertronz who are furious that Pace isn't drafting obvious 16-game starters/Pro Bowlers in rounds 6 and 7. You'd think he'd cut the throats of their children when he took Iggy in the 4th.

NFL Network giving Pace love for this draft. Guess Hub should let them know that their love for ‘3rd round talent’ Balil Nichols.
