It could be but will it? We'll see. He will be given a shot at ILB and never be in on Murray's spot. HE will be expected to be a top Special Teams player. He is a project player and being drafted on potential period. I don't care for fans acting like its a brilliant pick and to have any concern about the pick fans are clapping back, because as a matter of fact either way. We. Just. Don't. KNOW.

I think you got it wrong. He's going to be a starting LB. He's still learning the game but he's quick and fast enough to cover TEs. Also a sure tackler.
Murray is a goner after this year. Chargers declined to pick up his 5th year option.

TT’s R3 record of horror speaks for itself, 100% agree with you. Most years we have to rush to the deep archives to figure out who the fuck it is he drafted. Woods wasn’t on any R3 or R4 lists. Henley was - i think TT is on it with this pick. Our LB play has been bad for many years - he and Staley swapped Tranq for Hendricks and added this piece in case K9 plays like 2022 because we can’t live with the middle front 7 unable to read and react and attack what the offense is doing. LB problem fixed!

To those that think LBs don’t matter in modern football, i just laugh. old school 255 lb beast LBs without speed don’t matter as they are too slow for today’s game. These are the modern football linebackers that do matter. Henley gets his mass up to 235 and he will be an absolute warrior, a steal!

Wood approves of this observation...

Prefer a better backup to Linsley honestly. One that can also play all IOL if necessary.

My priority:

WR/KR
RB
TE
C

For whatever reason the other teams are passing on these bulldogs and Philly just keeps picking these puppies up Rd after Rd. Defense is filled with dogs. Crazy. Howie isn't trying to find diamonds in the rough. He keeps it simple and just takes dogs.

Yeah, he's definitely not an ILB.
He'll be expected to run down plays all over the field.
Hopefully he shows good instincts in camp so we don't have to watch Murray another 17 games.

I know, right? Pick the best players from the best teams.
It's worked out for Philly.

Let Georgia do the scouting and recruiting for ya.

I'm not sure why haven't sent Murray packing already. The guy's a total bust. Just because he's on his rookie deal? Sounds cheap-o to me. Boot his useless butt to the curb and move on from that mistake.

I wonder what that feels like?

Roschon still available...
