    My mock draft - verdict

    I would draft Grant at #16, Sinsay, so obviously I would be thrilled with him at #33. I also have a little higher thoughts on Umanmielen than most. Overall, if Grant or Mykel Williams are not available at #16, I would be fine with trading back. To me, the difference in quality-level between...

    No, it doesn't highlight it, but I agree with all the rest. I mentioned in my first post regarding this how teams should not draft off-ball linebackers in the first round because of expected ball production. It should be for other reasons.

    Six of them signed bigger contracts when their rookie deals were up. 18 either signed small or average contracts, and most of them are on practice squads with their third, fourth or fifth team, if they are not completely out of the league. I will stop here. You obviously don’t do any research...

    I thought your point was that the 5th year option played a role. But since you don't, we agree.

    Well, if that is the point then you are highly underrating the development with the salary cap. Or just how it works, for that matter. Also, while a general manager need to think ahead, it seems irrelevant to me to plan for what might happen five years down the road. Or as @Cbus cardsfan...

    Well, they probably keep it in mind, but I highly doubt that it matter much in drafting a linebacker. Even the highest paid off-ball linebackers don't cost that much compared to premium positions, so if an off-ball linebacker is good enough after four years, no team would have any problem...

    My point is that contract-stuff doesn't play into if people thinks it is a good idea to draft a guy like Jihaad Campbell, and thus, it doesn't make sense to compare them to contracts for other linebackers. It is not a matter about premium position or not.

    I don’t think you can use comparisons to other first-round picks. As I mentioned, I think that many people’s perspective is because of what an ILB - or even other high-quality players at non-premium positions – can bring to a team. And some people (fans and teams) want that enough to use a high...

    He can become a big playmaker and tonesetter. I personally don't value that higher than quality play from a premium position, but many people do.

    I completely agree with your point, Cbus, but I think people react to the fact that it would be the third first-round ILB since 2020, and since it is not a premium position, that might seem like overkill. I also understand that perspective. I do think it is a bit different with Campbell, though...

    What Player and/or Positions Would You Hate at 16

    Any offensive position would make me cry.

    Yes, Frye would know that, but I think we talked about Campbell. :)

    They would likely use Campbell as a traditional linebacker in base defense, and as an edge rusher in their nickel defense. He would never come off the field.

    Frye comes from Ohio State. Campbell is from Alabama.

    He had surgery after the combine, and his status for the start of the season is in doubt. There is a lot of talk that he could slide to the end of round one, or maybe even all the way to round two.
