Solid tackler and high energy...I'll take it!

 

[Ruminator]

That's twice as nice! I mean, Tyrice Knight.

Classic will that goes sideline to sideline and that is known for his tackling. Probably will not be asked to start right away but a nice player to have, and to develop for a year or two.

First pick I’m not sold on. I don’t hate it just not feeling like it’s going to be a long term starter here.

I don't really get this pick in this position. They know more than us though.

Backups and depth are nice though too

Like I said, don’t hate it just not excited about it.

Why did Trotter fall so far (and by extension, that we didn't pick him)?

He's just not that good.

 

[Ad Hawk]

thanks, Mael.

So, this is one of those cases where his draft value # is recognized by teams as not accurate? Guess so.

 

[Echawks]

idk.. at this point it is just names lol

For some guys, their college production doesn't translate to the NFL. I think this happens frequently with off-ball linebackers who are smart and technically sound but lack the measurables. For Trotter, he plays smart and he is technically sound, but he lacks the height weight and athletic traits to be successful at the next level.

The media scouts don't always see the projection from college to pros as accurately as the team scouts and NFL coaches do.

That makes a ton of sense. Great post, ST!
