NFL Draft Pick #149, Justin Jefferson, LB, Bama (the Flacco acquired pick)

[OconRecon]

This is the pick acquired from the Bengals in the Joe Flacco trade

The worst pick of the draft so far. An undersized LB who gets caught up in the wash and out-muscled. There is a chance he is converted to S or plays a S/LB hybrid type of role. Or maybe he is a future special teamer. Either way, very meh pick.

D pick for me.

This late all I see is a ST'er and a backup.

Capehart, Jolly, Coogan, Prunty, Jackson... all available. Guys who could help this team more and faster.

I wonder why Coogan has slid this far? I don't get it and it makes me think something is up about him.

That’s some fun tape!
Looks like AB picked “a good football player” vs getting hung up on measurables.

 

[jaydog]

He's a developmental guy that will make the team as a ST'er.

He's not ahead of Carson and Quincy Williams, for sure and since we are in 2 LB sets almost all the time...

 

[OconRecon]

Likely a “upgrade the bottom of the roster” guy.
AB talked about it in one of the pressers.
Like maybe, this guy replaces Musaranis-Arnold

 

[The Haymaker]

or..he could start? who knows? LB get hurt. especially good ones.draft a bama LB any rd.quality
u need great depth. I wanted another LB,RB & CB for those "injury positions" in the draft.
OT-isiah world udfa would have been nice.34+ arm length,
RB-220+ seth mcgowan,7th rd. cant have it all..

Football player. Bet he makes a solid place for himself on this team.

Saw this review:


Round 5, No. 149: Justin Jefferson, LB, Alabama: B-, Jefferson is a heat seeking missile linebacker who has a background in jiu-jitsu and kickboxing. He’s undersized and he reminds me a lot of Nick Bolton. Cleveland can figure out sub-packages to get Jefferson on the field and use his athleticism, there’s potential here
