2020 Positional Draft Talk - ILB

[TheSkeptic]

It is strange that the same people who have been super critical of the Gary pick because he did not play a lot as a rookie are OK with drafting a player who needs to switch positions.

Gary didn't need to switch position, yet still didn't play, Simmons will never come off the field, 3rd and short, long, doesn't matter, Simmons will still be out there, what will you be saying if Gary is still rotating this season, I'd put Gary at MLB before I'd watch him shine pine as he did most of last year.

Sorry, I was talking about the Wisconsin kid, not Simmons

Oh, still, I think your grading of Baun is a little tough/off, just because he's a bit light to defend the edge against the run, he still has edge rush ability, so while he'll have some adjustment time at ILB, it'll be OJT , he's dropped into zone coverage plenty, and he is a good tackler, so imo (and those of others) he'll at some point be a fine MLB, it's the ceiling that will get him picked in the first round,(maybe) about the same reason we took Gary at slot 12.
