[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 770421"] My bad. I didn't study Edmunds' tape. I just looked at a few of the plays you pointed to. You'll note at post #70 I indicated that one play you pointed to indicated that 4.8 preliminay time might be suspect. So, yeah, I suppose his Combine time justifies regarding him as a top prospect. But to be honest, I had put that exchange out of my mind because of the low priority I put on expending a high pick on the ILB position. I believe you have to roll with Jones to do what he was drafted to do in the box safety/ILB hybrid role, particularly in a simplified, attacking style of defense that we are expecting. Now, if Petine's intent was to play a traditional 4-3, I could see Edmunds as plug and play at OLB. But if that was the case we'd have parted ways with Matthews who would be a guy without a position, we'd have gone looking for a 4-3 DE instead of signing Wilkerson, and wouldn't be interviewing Vea. As an aside, I do not understand the interest in Vea. It looks like DT overkill. Had Wilkerson not been signed and the intent is a 3-4 / 4-3 under mixed scheme I could vaguely see Vea. The patchwork secondary needs attention compounded by Clinton-Dix being in a contract year, Williams' age, and considerable cluelessness on King's part in his rookie year. There isn't anybody on this roster you can point to as a slot corner, a particular sore spot in past seasons. OLB/DE depending on scheme, a WR, maybe a safety would make more sense in addressing the secondary. [/QUOTE]
