He's not good enough in coverage to demand a pick that high. Now, his inexperience is certainly a factor in that but there's no guarantee that he'll markedly improve in that area; just having the physical speed is far from a guarantee that a guy can cover. If he doesn't improve in that area then you've got a terrific run-stopping linebacker but that's not worth the 14th pick. He just hasn't shown enough to be counted on as a centerpiece in a defense as bad as the Packers.Value later in the draft is almost always better than early because, despite everything, there are no guarantees in the draft. Landry though should easily be the Packers pick at 14 if he's there (barring a guy like James, Ward, or Smith falling). He was a GREAT pass rusher in 2016 and was hurt in 2017. Prior to getting hurt this year he was really good too. So I don't see any reason that he isn't the guy everyone saw in 2016.</blockquote>
