Pro comps, don't agree with all of them and it kind of shows how thin this draft is

Some of them are laughable and make absolutely zero sense. He's also using the same exact comps for multiple players which seems redundant.

I closed the tab as soon as I saw Travis Hunter being compared to Champ Bailey.

Comping Jalon Walker to Kyle Van Noy is interesting because I agree that's how Walker should be used . KVN was a guy that was considered a bust until Belichick got his hands on him and showed the league how to use him. I think Walker needs to end up in a similar situation with that with that type of defensive mind.

Is Saleh that type of defensive mind?

You might be right, I've got a little faith with him adjusting his philosophy away from Cover 3, and embracing Kocurek's wide 9.

However he's more of a motivator than an innovator

Yeah, I'm not saying Saleh is incapable of being that type of defensive mind. That's just not his philosophy. He comes from that Seattle tree where they believe in keeping things simple to allow their players to play fast and attack.

It's true, but he does adapt to trends and to his players. I think he could do it, I have more doubts they can overlook the size concerns.

Yeah that one caught my eye. We've both been saying he's needs to go to a defense that will use his skill set properly. Get creative with those exotic blitz packages. Flores in Minn. maybe McDonald in Seattle. The DC in Miami.

Saleh is a good DC, he's not running things like Bill did.

Ive been saying that he needs to play in a Belichick style defense. Would be a good fit for Flores and the Vikings.

He seems to be as high on Tyleik as I am. As we sit here today he may be my pick if we trade back into the 20s. Which we won't

If he gets passed the Chiefs at #31 I'd be shocked. There's no way he runs the Gauntlet at the start of Rd2 either.
