Dude is a goddamn machine.

We're building a mean defense.

Five linebackers entered the draft between 2019 & 2021 with a 90+ athleticism score and 80+ overall score. All five were first-rounders: Devin White, Isaiah Simmons, Devin Bush, Jamin Davis & Kenneth Murray. Chenal & Channing Tindall are the two qualifiers from this year's class.

The guy is really big at 6’3” 250 and ran a 4.53. Very good tackler

They got tired of watching Neimann get his ass kicked by OL

Like him? I love him. He's a fucking beast. Might be seeing some LB coming off the edge this year.

But people told me the Chiefs were ignoring the defense.

I had kinda dismissed the idea of picking Chenal all together. Because I assumed he'd be gone in the second and was somewhat redundant with our current starters. But good pick if spags has a plan to use him.

I guess the team finally got as tired of watching missed tackles and soft defense as we did.

Let's go.

Ehhhh.....

First pick I've been underwhelmed by. But as a Badger fan, it's probably coming from the same place when Mizzou fans hate on their own

(From Dane Brugler’s top 300 abbreviated write up):

58. Leo Chenal, LB, Wisconsin (6-3, 250)

Chenal has outstanding eyes, aggressive flow and feel for run-blocking development, which allows him to play ahead of climbing blocks and pile up tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage. Though he has the range to hold up in coverage, his questionable fluidity and ball skills are a cause for concern. Overall, Chenal has room to grow as both a cover man and blitzer, but he has exceptional run instincts with above average key-and-diagnose skills and contact balance downhill. He compares favorably to Jordyn Brooks as a prospect.

From PFF's rankings

36. LB LEO CHENAL, WISCONSIN
Chenal is going to thrive in man blitz-heavy schemes. He packs a punch as a downhill player, as he can light up offensive linemen with ease. His 94.1 run-defense grade wasn't too far behind Micah Parsons‘ (94.8) PFF college record.

How DARE YOU!? Retract this statement immediately even though it is too late and you will be hated forever for implying that this pick was not perfect. DAMN YOU!
