Little harsh, but still...
Here’s BonifayRam...
This defense must replace a starting OLB'er who had outstanding speed in Samson Ebukam plus a very solid pass-rushing DE reliever in Morgan Fox. Question #1 ...... how do you expect to do that with a one-legged Terrell Lewis?
It's about past time that Snead brings in & provides the 30 yr old (in May) Aaron Donald some aid in producing a pass rush from the draft. I don't really care if the pass rusher comes in the way of drafting an OLB'er..... or a DE! but a legit pass rusher is my top need in 16 days!
It's about time Snead figures how to draft pass-rushing ER's..... would you please review the below list of Snead's drafted ER's since 2012. Question #2 You tell me if any of his selections have consistently contributed during a season in providing a pass rush?
Terrell Lewis
John Franklin-Meyers
Ogbonnia Okoronkwo
Trevon Young
Justin Lawler
Samson Ebukam
Ejuan Price
Martin Ifedi
Michael Sam
That's a nasty list to have on his resume.
There are 9 names on that list with no obvious hit.
It's too soon to say on Terrell Lewis. We need to let that pick play out at least another year.
But what is obvious is that they haven't put a high priority on finding an edge rusher. Of those 9 names, you have one 3rd round pick, two 4th round picks, with the rest being late round picks. It's not too surprising they have no established star.
We'll see what they do this year but I'd be kinda surprised if that position is where they focus.
