Pacheco is very strong for his size and is an exceptional pass blocker, but that doesn't mean he won't still get thrown like a rag doll by Leo Chenal pic.twitter.com/GFuRQu7RqC
I believe Chenal is our MLB of the future. He's smart and is very good at shedding blocks. Bolton and Gay's strengths are playing in space. Chenal looks like a rich man's James Lauranaitis, Rams all time leading tackler. [Reply]
Players we drafted in recent drafts at least last couple years show no fear and will give no mercy. Even with rookie mistakes I believe this is a better defense than last year and teams won't like getting punched in the mouth but nothing they can do about it. Tenacious D [Reply]

I think the two highest ceiling guys in this draft are Chenal and Kinnard. Everyone else has solid player, but probably not all-pro vibes. Which is great. But I could see Chenal being a stud ILB like Luke Kuechly, and Kinnard could be an all-pro RT if he gets his weight and mind right. [Reply]

Chenal is my favorite player and IMO, the only high ceiling player they drafted. Everyone else seems like high floor, low ceiling type players. I feel like I'm one of the few that aren't in love with their draft. I understood all their picks but I'd have gone a different way with most of them.
That being said, I don't think Chenal has the coverage skills to become a Luke Kuechly type LB. IF Spags plays him and puts him in a good position, he could have a Micah Parsons type effect. Just attack downhill with him. My fear is that Spags doesn't like rookies because his system is unnecessarily complicated and he won't see the field much. [Reply]
People tend to be overly optimistic sure but thinking that Leo is the only pick with a high ceiling is so dumb I'm tempted to think it's a troll post [Reply]
