My friend who a Buckeye said just wait. He said same thing about Devin so I don't really trust his opinion.

Picking a 4-3 LB for what was perceived/assumed to be a base 3-4/hybrid isn't a reach? You don't think pick could have been better utilized with Spriggs?
kiper:
15. **Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State
One of the best athletes in the draft, Lee is explosive in his movements and can cause problems in the backfield when he reads the play early, because he can get there faster than just about anyone. He needs to be more consistent as a tackler in space and in taking on blockers

13. Darron Lee, OLB, Ohio State (91)
Instincts/recognition: 2
Take-on skills: 3
Range vs. run: 1
Tackling: 3
Third-down capabilities: 1
What he brings: One of the better space linebackers in this class, Lee is a rangy run defender who shows fast eyes and quality recognition skills. His best value as a prospect comes on third down, where he has the athleticism to match up in zone or man coverage and he is an underrated blitzer. While he is undersized and will never be a strong point-of-attack defender, Lee is an ideal fit for today's game and should quickly develop into an impactful weakside linebacker.

in a 4-3, no?
You mean the fifth tackle, who was projected by most to be a second rounder? No, he's not a reach at #20. The guy projected around #15 is the real reach.

it doesn't say 4-3 or 3-4 lmao
It says BUST all over it
If Rex had taken him at #19, he would have been a stud who the Jets missed out on getting.

And SMALLER, so maybe we can play Pop Warner with a bunch of f*cking grammar school kids.
We're a base 3-4 team that took an undersized 4-3 OLB in the first round, and I do mean strictly a 4-3 OLB, at 6' 1"/232 he'll get devoured in the 3-4
How does that make sense?
If Bowles refused to switch to a base 4-3 after we drafted L. Williams, when it was a no brainer, why will he do it now?
