Forget Roquan Smith, if we go linebacker in the first Tremaine should be our guy. He can do it all. Would be perfect at Sam next to McMillan.

Looks great on film. Not sure this team would pick him that high IMHO I have a feeling they are going to go free agent with the Mike position. He does look like a great prospect.

Be careful of this dudes videos, he’ll show five plays and rewind it 20 times, and talk for twenty mins..
I’ve watched a lot of his reps now, and you need to do that to get a full repertoire of his strengths and weaknesses, and while he’s got the measurables we all want, size/speed ratio, imo his diagnosing skills at the linebacker position are below average, his vision, awareness and instincts, that whole package is subpar..he’s only 20 but I just can’t take that risk on athletic ability if the instincts and ability to diagnos isn’t there, nfl coordinators and qbs will make him look silly..Surfs Up 99, Irishman, rafael and 1 other person like this. -
so, he'll for sure be the pick is basically what i'm hearing. sounds like he fits the LB'er mold of this team.Surfs Up 99, jboogie, dolphin25 and 1 other person like this. -

He's 19. You do what you want with him as a prospect. He can be moulded into a SLB very easily. Watch the tape and he diagnoses well, he's an athletic marvel, he can cover tight ends and you can watch him redirect and run with slot receivers. Very few linebacker prospects have EVER looked like this coming out. He's Planet Theory at LB.

I have a feeling this is the guy I'll want with our first round pick come draft day. Him or mincah. I'e spent the last week looking into him and have come away impressed

Draft Tremaine Edmunds and put him at SLB. He has the size and athleticsm to match up with and cover any tight end. Not that complicated really, we just have gone to long with undersized and not very athletic linebackers. That is why we can't cover tight ends, not our lack of some hybrid alignment.Redwine4all and dolphin25 like this. -

“Shaquem has more career INTs, PDs, FR, FF, and TDs than a lot of the top LB prospects in this draft. And he did that in basically only 2 years.
Shaquem Griffin - 3 INTs - 16 PD - 5 FR - 4 FF - 1 TD
Roquan Smith: 0 INTs - 3 PD - 3 FR - 3 FF - 0 TDs
Harold Landry: 0 INTs - 6 PD - 1 FR - 10 FF - 0 TDs
Tremaine Edmunds: 1 INT - 5 PD - 1 FR - 3 FF - 0 TDs
Dorance Armstrong Jr.: 0 INTs - 8 PD - 3 FR - 6 FF - 0 TDs
James Hearns: 0 INTs - 5 PD - 2 FR - 9 FF - 0 TDs
Jerome Baker: 0 INTs - 4 PD - 3 FR - 1 FF - 1 TD
Jeff Holland: 0 INTs - 1 PD - 2 FR - 5 FF - 0 TDs
Lorenzo Carter: 0 INTs - 1 PD - 6 FR - 6 FF - 1 TD
Kendall Joseph: 2 INTs - 1 PD - 1 FR - 3 FF - 0 TDs
Rashaan Evans: 0 INTs - 5 PD - 2 FR - 2 FF - 0 TDs
Oren Burks: 5 INTs - 21 PD - 2 FR - 1 FF - 2 TDs
Malik Jefferson: 0 INTs - 5 PD - 1 FR - 2 FF - 1 TD
Leighton Vander Esch: 3 INTs - 6 PD - 1 FR - 4 FF - 0 TDs
He also had more sacks than all but 1 of them (Landry). He is undersized to play a pure DE/pass rusher role... but in the NFL he is well suited to play WLB where he run, chase, and hit. He's an aggressive and versatile defender that is a fantastic blitzer and great in coverage.”
Let that sink in for those who think he’s a 6th round backupSurfs Up 99 likes this. -

Only part of his game I don't like is that he is a little undersized and he misses tackles too often. -

Doesn't matter what you believe in or what you think you may or may not see. This "hybrid nonsense" (aka decades old strategies, formations and personnel use) is about being able to matchup with today's offense's; plain and simple. And that means finding defenders than can cover modern TE's and offense's extended usage of the slot and other system's.
A base 4-3 is fine for roughly 25-35% of today's NFL defensive snap counts. The majority, by and large, is played in hybrid pass packages of Nickel and Dime personnel. Roughly 65% of all defensive calls are done out these packages.Irishman, Puka-head, danmarino and 1 other person like this. -

Just looked, we haven’t taken a LB in the first round since Marco Coleman in 1992, if you don’t count Dion Jordan who was “technically” a DE.Puka-head likes this. -

I worry other teams can see his potential and understand he’s only 19, we may have to move up two spots to insure he’s still available. Oakland is prob salivating at the idea of picking him.
Roquan is going to be a solid player and may be more nfl ready off the bat but 2-3 years down the road, teams will regret passing on this kid if they do. Monster. -

I really truly hope we are in the market for a true FS. It would allow us to utilize both Jones and McDonald to their strengths as SS, while also letting us play aggressively with our CBs and blitz packages because we would have range in the MOF. And well-rounded OLB, like Edmunds, would be an absolute fantastic add as well.Boomer and adamprez2003 like this.
