Hindsight
Speed and age played a huge role in this position’s scouting and it shows. I didn’t know how it would all shake out. I was very surprised to see only 2 linebackers in the first 30 picks, and that’s what made me go up and get the last fast round one talent. Also was shocked to see Louis go that early with his speed, he was my pre-draft 2nd rounder. The bad players with round 2-3 grades like Austin Romaine (now a Bear) and Jaden Dugger make me glad I got aggressive to get my starter. All in all, decently scouted.
