No way you draft him at #2 overall. Garrett and Allen are the 2 best players in the draft and to me it isn't close.

I agree Garrett Allen are deff 1-2 worthy , there's a drop off after that

I'd love to have Foster, but only in a trade down situation.

Not sure any other NFL team is really interested in trading up for Mitch though. Seems really meh.

Foster is not in Willis or Kuechly territory. Good LB but he is a main beneficiary of Bama's beast mode DL.

talk about being the beneficiary of an elite supporting cast. has he had to make a single tackle on his own during the entire game?

The Browns and 49ers are sitting in the cat birds seat. You are lucky to get Garrett or Allen. Both are studs.

Agree. I was not blown away by his performance today.

If you remember back to when we last drafted an ILB out of the SEC (P. Willis) it was a player that was pretty much the only blue chip player on the defense. Offenses could focus their efforts on dealing with him and he still excelled.

Foster has a bunch of rock stars around him and still doesn't really stand out.

I'm really impressed with the way he's played all season.

This game is the Cherry on top for a great player.

If any trade back scenario comes up, we should take this guy.

This. Foster will not be taken in the top 10. It's not happening. Very good LB and an all world thumper but his coverage skills are lacking and you just don't take a guy like that in the top 10. He is no Pwillis or Kuechly
