Overshown is fine but if we wanted a guy like him why not move up 5-10 spots for Simpson?

Pure laziness.

Overshown was a late third/early fourth type. We got him where he should go. But he feels like Cox all over again. Athletic, former safety, long but a lot of times looks like he doesn't know what he is doing.

We could have nailed this draft with two picks that made sense.

This is a pretty big FAIL.

Day two has not felt great. Not overly important positions and we picked guys that certainly weren't great value.

We could have made an impact on this offense on day two but instead we sort of drafted non impact guys.

Changed DCs like 2 or 3 times during his college career, so that certainly didn't help.

From Brugler:
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Texas, Overshown played the SAM linebacker position in defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski’s 4-3 base scheme. After moving from defensive back to linebacker under Chris Ash in 2020, he learned a new scheme under Kwiatkowski in 2021 and expanded his role as more of an edge presence in 2022. Overshown has the frame of a lean, oversized safety and creates plays with his sideline-to-sideline range and attacking mentality. A see-ball, get-ball type of player, he diagnoses well and keeps his eyes locked on the ball carrier, but not the climbing blocker ahead of him and will struggle to sift through traffic. Overall, Overshown must continue developing his strength and awareness within the flow of the play, but he has above-average speed to be an energetic run-and-hit pursuit player with upside in coverage. He projects as core NFL special teamer and subpackage rush/drop linebacker.

Sounds like Trenton Simpson who we definitely had interest in, but seemingly not enough to move up about 7 spots.
