Pick #22 of the 2018 NFL Draft: ILB Rashaan Evans, Alabama

thats exactly what happened

 

This is a Super Bowl winning pick for us. Dude is a beast in all aspects of the position. Look for the Mighty Titans to make a deep playoff run this year!!!!

 

As much as couch GM's love 40 times, the proof is in the tape. With all the guys who injure themselves training for, and at the combine, I'd prefer he not run it and be 100% healthy after being drafter a Titan.

After a night to sleep on it, I think I love this pick even more. Find a solid OLB in the second and then I don't care what they do the rest of the draft lol. S could be good too though.

 

If he gains 25lbs he won’t be the same player. We needed to add speed to this defense and that’s what he brings at 230.

 

Agreed! He clearly didn't have any problems tackling people at his current weight so I don't think he'll need to put on all that much for the NFL.

 

Obviously you have not seen this kid play. The tape doesn't lie.

 

Love that we know that this is a guy we really wanted. If we would've just stayed at 25 and took him we might have felt like we settled for the pick. But you can tell this guy was on our radar at all times. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 

After watching videos of him vs Tennessee, LSU, Auburn, Clemson...

He looks like a 2nd round talent at best. Slow to react, gets stood up by RBs consistently and doesn't make sound tackles.

Really, the only thing he seems great at is running directly at the QB. Avery Williamson seems more sound... as hard as that is to say.


Always risky taking guys like this from Alabama- where the rest of the defense makes him look good.


BUT... Zach Brown didn't look good at this point either, and he turned into a quality player. (just not with us) So you never know.


Hope he fixes his tackling and bad angles. Seems he was product of hype for a couple of hard hits, while he's generally inconsistent.

 

They need to put a positive rating times infinity on here for that post!! lol

 

That's because he was on the bench learning behind the seniors on the team and only had 1 season as a starter. haha Big difference between that and a guy that had 3 seasons as a starter with inconsistent results from one season to the next.
