idk about Thompson as a LB. His combine numbers and measurements will be telling. Im not sure he has the size to play LB in the NFL

I think Vic Beasley fits in as a prototypical edge rusher in a 3-4 and would be a nice fit for us. He can do it all. He may go HAM at the combine and push into the top 10, I fear.

ETA- did not realize that mock had him at 6. So maybe he's already climbing as he hasnt been as high in the early mocks

People said the same about Shazier and he seemed to be fitting in fine while healthy.

Plus we don't need a thumper(2 of those with Lofton and Hawthorne) or an edge rusher(2 of those with Galette and Edebali, plus Haralson and Humber if they return) at LB. We need someone who can cover. We've been needing someone who can cover. We got slaughtered over the middle and on dump off passes.

We haven't had one since Vilma was healthy in 2010 and you can see how much it affected the defense.

Shaq Thompson is roughly the same size as Lavonte David and every bit the athlete.

I think Thompson is big enough.


Anywho. The way this draft plays out specifically, Schreff, Collins, Kevin White, Thompson. Any of those guys would be perfect.
