Not buying it.

Cunningham's skill doesn't outweigh Foster's skill + violence.

In my opinion, Cunningham plays a little light in the seat. Foster is a prodigious hard-hitter.

I know that hitting hard isn't everything. What I'm saying is that I think their skills are roughly equal, and there is a gap between how violent Foster is and how violent Cunningham is.

The Saints are a soft team. They need more people who can bring the wood on both sides of the ball. Foster is the pick if both are on the board.

I see them as both really good players, but different. Cunningham is like a Sam Mills (not size wise) where he diagnosis and gets in on the play. Foster seems more like a Vaughn Johnson, a big violent player who blows things up.

I wouldn't be upset with either.

A rangy smart athlete > a retarded hard hitting speedster.

Foster isnt a playmaker. He just has the occasional big hit. How many strips/picks did he have at Bama?

If Cunningham and Foster are both there at 11, and we like Cunningham, we need to trade down.

If the same people who evaluated Anthony at ILB are evaluating the same position for us this year I will pass on both and take a DE.

Foster doesn't seem visceral enough to be making calls in the NFL as a MLB, especially in in a 4-3.

Cunningham has a lower ceiling but low-bust potential.

Some mocks have cunnigham available in the second. Probabaly a pipe dream but that would be amazing with a DE in the first.

I would totally take Cunningham in the 2nd instead of spending the #11 pick on Foster. Go D-Line Saints!

I'm certain zach is going to be a several pro bowl kind of guy if healthy.

Not sold on Bama boy. So hard to evaluate them.

Cunningham graded well for PFF but... I just see WAY too many arm tackles in his film.

Reuben Foster is a much more violent tackler, which presents its own concerns but, has better form than Cunningham

There's an issue with nearly every ILB in this class


I really like Alex Anzalone as a value pick in the 4th.. Again, he's really risky

We can not afford to risk the MLB pick with Anzalone....We need to address the position in FA or use 1st or at least 2nd pick.

I like 2nd pick then

There's just too much 1st round talent with this year's pass rushers to reach for a MLB

Reuben Foster is Stephone Anthony 2.0 waiting to happen. Zach Cunningham is the next Kuechly

Yea, Steph was a beast at Clemson and killed it at the combine. He's proven to be a dead head.

Foster is already rumored to be retarded and was also an absolute animal at Bama and will destroy some numbers at the combine.

Happy?

It doesn't matter.... Whoever we pass on will be an elite 12 time pro bowler and future HOF. The guy we pick will be a bust
