So I’m wondering how much the metrics change with Spagnuolo running the defense now?
Dorsey/Sutton always targeted 6’0 minimum height, length and a primary skill of being able to play press man. Spagnuolo is more multiple in coverage. Will he and Veach be as stubborn about measurables?
Baker is a good case study here: the dude is 5’10” at best, but he is fluid, smart, and steps up in run defend. This kid has some DAWG to him - I love his game. He lacks physical measurables that would have been non-starters for a Dorsey pick. I’m intetested to see Spagnuolo’s influence in this regard.
Personally, I’d love Deandre Baker or Byron Murphy as the Chiefs 1st round selection - can’t go wrong either route. I also am really intrigued by DE Jaylon Ferguson. I like the safety Adderly, but I’m not entirely sold he will have the impact these others will have.
