Five forced fumbles for KK.

Nothing beats a strip sack.

The knack for forcing turnovers is HUGE, and not everybody has it. Looking forward to Kennard knocking the ball loose.

Bosa had a knack for forcing fumbles. Takes good spatial awareness, decent arm length, good hands, and ability to get in the back field. I thought we'd miss that element after Bosa left so good we picked up a prospect with some potential.

Good.
Not too worried about him getting in trouble at 1am outside of some strip club.

I guess we can dispense with the notion that Harbaugh won't add a DE on the lighter side to the roster! Kennard is recorded as weighting 254 LBS...

Ya I'm guilty of this.
I was exclusively looking at big Edge types but that's not the case.

I don’t think 254 lbs should be considered a light Edge. I think once you get down to 240-245 lbs, that’s a bit light. I thin KK coming in at 254 lbs is a good weight to start at the NFL for an Edge. With his frame, he can easily put on another 6-10 lbs and not lose his athleticism. I think he comes in next year at 260+.

I was good at that.

I think this might be the oldest crop of draft picks in Charger history?

He’s right in the middle between Rumph (244) and Tuli (267)

But as I pointed out before, he’s a year older than Tuli who is entering his 3rd season.

Rumph came in weighing 235 pounds, if i remember correctly

That was a theme in this draft for the Bolts: older players.

Tre Harris, Jamaree Caldwell, R.J. Mickens and Trikweze Bridges are also older than most of their draft classmates.
