You have to catch him to block him. As much as we make of Edmunds combine, don’t forget that Smith ran a 4.51.

That .03 seconds on Edmunds 4.54 will make all the difference between blockers catching him vs. Smith.

There are plenty of small, fast LBs. Most of them don't have Smith's college tape either, so I'll admit that. But small, fast LBs often get washed out of plays and then eventually out of the league.

Duh. That wasn’t my point.

In Roquon Smith, I see the next Derrick Brooks. He will come in and perform at high level from day one.

He is the perfect WILL for this defense. Ever heard the phrase "spill to the WILL" ? That is the way this defense will be run. This, he's too small and gets swallowed up by blockers nonsense is complete bullshit. If everybody else does their job the WILL LB will be uncovered almost all of the time.

Cato June wasn't half the athlete and didn't read plays nearly as quickly as Roquon, and we won a SB with him at WILL.

Cato June played at 209 lbs.

And Cato June is still to this day being dragged down the field by Fred Taylor.

My comments about Smith being too small are when looking at him as a MLB.

Edmunds is high risk/high reward. Not saying the Colts won't roll the dice with such a player, but I personally would prefer a safer option. Too many of these project / physical freak types don't pan out or live up to expectations. Barkevious Mingo

-Chargers have "legitimate significant interest in Lamar Jackson."
-Josh Allen wont fall further than Arizona.

Josh Allen is going too 5, probably top 2. That makes me take everything else with a grain of salt.

If one of the big 4 slides significantly I think it will be Allen. Accuracy is a pretty damn important thing for an NFL QB and there seems to be plenty of questions about his.
