Yeah I mean if he comes back full strength it's a huge get. If he doesn't, you burned a fifth round pick. In the fifth you're taking a shot on talent that may or may not be good enough. We aren't taking a shot on talent with this pick, the talent is easy with him, the risk is on the injury.
Anyone know which disc was eliminated? Lower, middle or upper?
If he was 100% healthy I would've definitely taken him in the 3rd, maybe even in the 2nd. This pick really helps tie things together on a somewhat uneven day 3.
Tyron had it I think.
That's who I was thinking but wasn't sure. Clark is a starting LBer if he can recover fully. Sounds like a pretty good guy. LVE is a one year bandaid to give him that chance

He is a really fun player to watch. I just try not to watch too much and get excited because I know there is a chance that he is never that type of player again. I realize he could be. This isn't like watching Jaylon Smith's college highlights and thinking he will return to that form. But spine issues are something that makes me nervous in just assuming he will be back to normal in 6 months. If all he does is miss half a season and we get this player in the NFL? That's a huge get. You don't draft a guy because of the impact he will have for the first half of his rookie season. You draft a guy for the totality of what he can do for your franchise. Especially outside of the first round.
I liked Dean as well but at the end of the day some of his critics may be correct…Jordan Davis commanded so much respect, all he has to do is see ball, get ball. Clark was much more productive tackling and he did not have the benefit of Godzilla at nose tackle.
And he'll be behind Davis in Philly, but not the other 3 first rounders Georgia had on their DL.
Carter was probably the best player on that Dline. That's kind of scary.
So what are you saying? Howie Roseman bringing in Godzilla and Dean is nothing to be worried about?
Sometimes there is a disconnect between what teams think of a player and what the media thinks of a player. Clearly the media had a much higher opinion of Dean than teams actually did. On draft day we tend to find this stuff out. Teams aren't stupid. They didn't pass on Dean for no reason.
Were there better options in the UDFA market? I mean there is a bit of difference between taking on a flier like that or using a first round pick.
I am not challenging the options. Just saying they quite honestly comfortable with setting a camp battle. I guess I better watch me some more Farniok.
Yeah I would have drafted a day three guard that I could toy with playing center. No idea why Salyer went so late but I would have definitely taken him and seen if he could play center or push McGovern.
