Tremaine Edmunds - LB - Virginia Tech | Page 76

TheNef77 · 2017-12-29T03:46:34-08:00

Nice prototype LB Height: 6′ 5″ Weight: 249 lbs Draft proj: Late 1st to mid 2nd round (Dec 2017) Would draft him if he fell to the NO pick or our 3rd. Would love to replace Coyle with him to have him a Foster work together upfront. He's still raw and you catch a few mental mistakes that coaching and vet guidance can clear up (watch the WVU film). I think we have the staff to help him reach his full potential here.

MD and I were so wrong on this kid. Neither of us thought he had elite instincts. Can't get 'em all right, but you gotta be man enough to admit when you're wrong. Kudos to the job he's doing. For the sake of Frank Gore, I hope he helps them go to a Super Bowl. If the Niners aren't in it, then I hope they win one for Frankie.

Performing like one of the top LBs to come out in the last couple years. Showing his elite instincts weekly.

He's playing at a very high level as MLB for one of the best defenses in the NFL. Only 20yrs old to

His combination of elite athleticism and instincts is incredible. Already one of the very best LBs in the game.

Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds became the first player in NFL history with two seasons of 100+ tackles by the age of 21.

He didn't miss a single snap through Week 16 this year and was the QB of the league's second-best scoring defense. A complete stud.

He & Warner are already the best LBs of that class by a comfortable margin. In regard to Edmunds, it was clear on tape leading up to the draft as well.

But people overthink it.

Didn't hate didn't love...some people had him pegged as a edge rusher and that simply wasn't true.

Also imo having a ton of tackles and playing every snap doesn't = real good. Example Jordan hicks.

Not saying he won't be or isn't just not a great stat to conclude anything imo

Goddamn the Chiefs worked this guy all game long. They kept throwing out cheese and he kept chasing it. Just completely lost while in coverage.

Bills drafted Tremaine Edmunds in the first round. Fred Warner was a third round pick that year. Good thing we got the 19 year old super freak.

Reminded me of Richard Sherman in the SB. A sitting duck.

He is going to test off the charts at the combine...however, he doesn't have great football instincts, nor great football intelligence. In nearly every game I watched this year, he makes one really bad decision/mental mistake that causes a HUGE chunk play. He will collect tackles (he is a very solid tackler) and flash at times due to his incredible athleticism. However, overall, he is NOT a first round football player to me.

Spot on.

Bills fans basically regurgitating his entire pre-draft scouting report.
