I don't know if he'll get killed inside. He's been a MLB at UCLA, I'm sure he know what he's doing. And he's bigger than Perrymen. As for Anthony, what I keep reading is how bad he is in coverage. Haven't we dealt with that from our MLBs for years now? We need a MLB who is effective in space. Kendricks is also considered one of the 10 safest draft picks in this years draft (along with Jalen Strong) per NFL.com

i like it but all i can say is raise the knee red flags

Jean Sifrin - TE - Massachusetts

at 27 years of age he could end up being our mr irrelevant pick

jjasso007

He would totally be our Mr. Irrelevant. But he's 6'7, big hands, and, from what I've read, is hard to tackle. He's going to drop a few passes, but for a 7th round pick, and the intangibles he brings like his height, I'll take it. Here's another video from one game which puts his goods and bads on display

Why not.... seems to drop balls on occasion too, just like Grambeaux!

Kendricks is a play maker. size does worry me. but of the smaller ILB in the draft he is the best one. Anthony is all about upside when it comes to pass defense. something he did not really do in college. the blitzed him a ton

and yet my mancrush was there again...hmm?!?

I added a bio of Dupree. This kid is perfect for the 5 technique DE. He was the 2nd fastest of the DE/OLB only to Beasley by lessthan 0.03 and he outweighs Beasley by more than 20 lbs(240 Beasley, 269 Dupree). Read about him in the post I submitted.

Dupree is better suited to a 4-3 defensive end weakside (lined up on the outside shoulder of an unprotected (no tightend) left tackle...

When Steve Sidwell nearly perfected the 3-4 some twenty-five-plus years ago, we had three big, tall defensive tackles, ends whos' role was to just occupy blockers and protect, allow our big, fast 6' 2" linebackers, Sam Mills excepted, to come in and make plays...

Guys like Jim Wilks, Tony Elliot, Bruce Clark, with Frank Warren, Jumpy Geathers rotating in, keeping all the big guys fresh...

When three big, fresh men with depth rotating can occupy five, six blockers on the opponents offensive line, you've won the line of scrimmage...

Let me repeat, you've won the line of scrimmage and the advantage is there for your big, fast linebackers to annihilate the opposing passer, rusher and create those fortuitous turnover opportunities...

Beasley, Harold, Mauldin are ideal OLB candidates for a 3-4 front...

Ray, Gregory, Dupree are your Chris Doleman/Dwight Freeney 4-3 defensive ends to try to create havoc on passing downs, but can be beaten when you run against them...

Was really excited when Payton stated he wanted to move to the 3-4 front, and have been equally disappointed in the effort, pace and personnel moves to get the defense to that point...

Drafting Dupree, Ray, Gregory is a step backwards...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I guess you missed the part where it states that this kid is equally adept playing both the run and the pass. Also remember the name Wayne Martin? He wasn't a big DE like Frank Warren, Jumpy Geathers and the others(about 6'4, 285), but he has well over 70 sacks playing for us. The thing I'm saying is this, the 3-4 Sidwell ran is different from the one we currently run. This one is more attack from the D-Line, under Sidwell it was more read and react. Dupree would fit in.

jeanpierre

Fan, did in fact read the reports, and another dozen as well, on Dupree and know what the film and my eyes see...

Now whatever is recorded for posterity (college playing weights, heights) and seeing those guys up close and personal, I can tell you as a first account witness that Wayne Martin with regards to physical frame was waaaaay bigger than Warren, Geathers, Wilks (maybe)...

My point is that you get big, mammoth, space-eating monsters to occupy blockers and allow your 6-2/6-4 linebackers to zone-blitz randomly and attack the passer/rusher...

And we've really not run the 3-4...at least, not yet...and that's because we don't have the personnel...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
