It is a CONDITIONAL pick.. not sure what the conditions are, but it could be based on snaps, etc..

So just for anybody who's like "who is this guy," he's a dude who did everything very well out of Alabama -- and only really lacked really good speed.
He's amazing in run defense, and is pretty good in coverage. He's big for an ILB (250+ lbs) but he's more than a thumper. He does have three down versatility. Although, if you just make him a thumper, you've got a hell of a thumper. This guy is like an additional DL on the field against the run. He's very fundamentally sound -- this is not a John Dorsey "coach them from the ground up" kind of guy. His only mark on him at this point is how well he recovers from injury. That's pretty much it, folks. And KC's got as good a trainers' room as anybody in the league. Get this guy healthy, don't cut corners with him, and he's a starting-caliber LB in a year. Edit: Oh, yeah, forgot to mention, he's a heart-and-soul type character. He's someone the locker room follows. |

Moves like this make me less and less worried about Dorsey's departure. You can always improve your team. This move makes a ton of sense.

'Can't' would be strong.
'hasn't' seems fair. Alabama just generally doesn't ask it of their LBs so you're going largely based on skill-set and hoping you can teach the nuance/instincts required of the position. Until I see it done, I'd have a hard time taking it on faith. I think he has some decent tools but he isn't that kind of freak natural athlete that DJ was (or Foster, IMO). He strikes me as more of a Kendall Beckwith or maybe Raekwon McMillan type. To some degree we're just a bit spoiled by DJ so I may be asking more of him than is truly fair. Not many LBs are natural in coverage and we just happen to have one of them. So trying to find another one like him is like trying to find another Tony Gonzalez who can catch AND block. We got lucky and managed to do exactly that with Kelce but that's not a common thing.
