I'm perfectly fine drafting him third day for all the reasons you stated.first two days let's go for all pros.

Our best shot in drafting an All Pro appears to be in the 5th round based on our history lol...

Here’s the thing... with a player like him... it gives you so much defensive flexibility. If he’s your WLB... you can run the same personnel for both base defense and big nickel by being able to flex him out into the slot. His twin is a CB, and he’s great in coverage himself... with 13 PBU’s on 42 targets. He can be a chase, hit, and blitz monster, and can cover. A little bigger and 2 hands and the guy is a 1st rounder.

I don’t think he’ll make it to Day 3. But if we are somehow able to get him on Day 3... we’ll be laughing all the way to the bank at the rest of the league. We shouldn’t wait that long though...

McDonald is slotted to do just that next year. Do you want to cut McDonald to draft Griffin

We're moving McDonald to WLB? Who's playing Safety along side RJones?

what is wrong with having a cheap back up?

different players do different things, we have holes everywhere.

That's the 50000 dollar question. I am assuming we are drafting one or getting in free agency.

Nothing. That' what I see Griffin as

We are really moving McDonald to full time WLB??? Was that announced somewhere?

”Shaqeem Griffin is a cheap backup”

By Prez..

Should be interesting to revisit..

Folks don’t seem to realize that this kid has hi level football instincts running through his veins.he sees things develop faster which gets his body into position to make plays..that’s how you overcome size..

Last player that was undersized with comparable instincts where lots of folks told me he wouldn’t be great..Tyrann Matthieu..

We want play big nickel more. Were in nickel or dime 65 % of the time now. My understanding is we will be in it more next season...maybe 75% or 80 %. McDonald would be the safety that drops down replacing the wlb

Well... the only thing about this is that our personnel package would give away our intent to roll out a big nickel look on a particular play. Griffin being a LB... can keep us in a base look or a big nickel look.

Most likely, we’d use a combo of both. That said... if we are actively intending on being more in big nickel... I think adding a player like Griffin would present even more value than if we weren’t.

Give me Derwin James and Shaquem in the draft and I will be a happy man. Our locker room needs a culture change. To me, that wins games more than anything else. You have to want it more than the guy you're up against.

Folks worry about his size, look at how thick that kid is..

Awesome piece on Shaquem. You can’t read this and not want him on your roster in some way or fashion...

Absolutely Surfs. It is so important to instill confidence throughout the entire roster. If it were up to me I would Morpheus ("Don't think you are, know you are") the players every chance I'd get.

Lol @ Shaq not getting an initial combine invite. Good for dude.

4.3 is pretty sick. Same as his brother ran and he has 30 additional pounds. I think he might have worked himself into the 3rd round

You changing your tune on the player?, you were pretty rough on him a month ago.

Shaquill: “Hey Shaquem, I ran a 4.38!”
Shaquem: “Hey Shaquill, I ran a 4.38!”

Wouldn't it be sweet if we used the pick we got for Ajayi on him. He really is a prototypical S/LB tweener. That said after the combine I think he gets picked earlier, maybe our earlier 4th would get it but I could see a team with an extra third take a chance.
