Seemed like a “this guy at worst can be a great special teams player and develop into more”
Edited by Carl Spackler on November 20, 2025, 16:25:42
Meanwhile he often can’t even get on the field on special teams and we’ve had 4 LBs play over him? (Edmunds, Edwards, Sewell, Jackson, I imagine Ogbonbimiga will eventually be 5) Think it’s both the Ravens and the Eagles who use consensus measures as part of their drafting process. It’s because if your scouting has an outlier opinion on a player, your scouting team is probably wrong (and/or you should wait to take the player because he’s probably not as high on other boards).  Previous Message He was not going to be expected to play this year. Now the question would be if you could have gotten him a round or two later.
