Tremaine Edmunds; 6-5 253lb, 4.54 speed.

mattb78 · Mar 5, 2018

8 overall may be early for him as he is an extremely raw player, but the Bears would have an extremely interesting and versatile LB corps if he became a Bear. He is shooting up draft boards after the combine.

-Son of 2 time pro bowl TE Ferrell Edmunds
-6-5, 253 lbs, and he is only 19 years old
-Absolute freak athlete
-30 tackles for loss and 10 sacks over his last 2 seasons

-He can cover receivers, can rush the passer and is strong inside the box. Truly a do it all player. Has ability to add more weight and muscle to his frame.

"Good luck with your player comp on this one. They don't come like him. I don't think there has ever been a linebacker that has had his size and speed. You're better off comping him with a basketball player." -- NFC regional scout

Can he read and react at an NFL level?

Icemanx · Mar 5, 2018

I think he will make a great addition to whatever team gets him, I just do not think it will be the Bears unfortunately.

I would rather draft Edmunds than trade down. I would rather draft Nelson than trade down.

I’d be happier than a pig in shit if we got him, Chubb or Nelson

Ohhh man would it be great to get Chubb, no way in hell he is there at 8 tho. He is gonna be a great in this league.

Chris Sojka · Mar 5, 2018

I’m know it’s unlikely. But hear me out.

Luck needs protection, Browns need a QB and could use a RB. Multiple other teams could trade up. Including us jumping up to 6.

Just saying... if trades happen and Indy trades out to 10 so a team can take a QB it could set something off that allows Chubb to slip to 6.

Jumping up to 6 is not gonna be easy, would require next years picks and that would hurt our future, but Chubb would be worth it tho.

Take Edmunds at 8. Line him up as a OLB opposite of Floyd. Bears will be loaded. All kinds of speed.

I would be happy with Edmunds at 8.

Edmunds seems to fit in to what Pace likes to do in the first. The upside is huge with him but obviously a risk. I can see him being the pick at 8.

Yeah Pace loves drafting players like Edmunds. I am hoping we get him as we can get a great receiver in round 2 and FA of course.

Edmunds just might be the most athletic player in the draft. A Pace kind of first rounder.

Les Grossman · Mar 5, 2018

It would be nice to get a consensus blue chip player one of these drafts. We always seem to be drafting just a tad out of range. Last year being the exception.

gallagher · Mar 5, 2018

Yeah this has Pace written all over it. He goes for high upside athleticism in the first hoping for a home run, and then looks for solid guys with high floors with his next pick (except for Shaheen I guess).

and honestly, I am 100% okay with that. Swinging for the fences when you have the largest talent pool to choose from is a legitimate strategy. It's not like a guy like Edmunds will be waiting around in the second round (or Trubisky, or Floyd for that matter).

He has hit enough with later round picks that I am fine with him rolling the dice on high ceiling guys in the first round, as long as they are good character and hard working young men.

Yeah I completely agree with you there.

I guess I’m the only one but I don’t like Edmunds at #8. He plays like an ILB to me despite his height. I dont see him as an OLB/Edge rusher any more than I saw Urlacher as one.

He’s only 20 so I get that excitement but if its a pick between Edmunds and say Nelson, I’m more in camp Nelson because I feel he’s more of sure thing and would provide bigger improvement to the team.
