    So DW being a guy (I think) 5 yards = 2 yards just like 2 inches = 6 inches?

    Wasn't he pretty much an OLB/Edge prior to last season?

    Yeah, he was. Similar to Haason Reddick from 2017 draft, except Evans made the move inside in his final college season, whereas Reddick is trying to do it at the NFL level. Without much success so far.

    Here are Bob McGinn's sources on Evans -

    RASHAAN EVANS, ILB, Alabama: 6-2, 232.

    Played sparingly in his first two seasons and then split time as a junior before blossoming as senior in a starting role. “I’d take him over Roquan Smith,” said one scout. “Tough, explosive, physical. More of an outside guy (in a 4-3 defense). Does a little bit of everything.” Didn’t run at the combine but clocked 4.68 at 230 last spring. “Really a good football player,” said another scout. “Strong, good tackler, instinctive, good pursuit angles. Always around the ball. Drops easily. Can run with the tight end across the field. Explosive up the field as a rusher but needs technique development.” Scored 24 in first shot at the Wonderlic but one team expressed major misgivings about his ability to handle a pro system.

    Consensus draft position was between mid 1st round to mid 2nd round.

    DW was probably the one source who had something negative to say.

    That torn peck had me concerned when we signed Rak, but I still loved the signing. Look at Stafford, was hurt a lot in his early years but then stayed healthy. As long as they don't rush the groin, I'm sure he'll be fine.

    Tony Pauline seems to share my feeling that the Titans were targeting Vander Esch

    Tennessee Titans: The Titans lost out on the player they wanted when Leighton Vander Esch was swiped off the board three picks before them, but they had a solid backup plan in Rashaan Evans. Harold Landry and Dane Cruikshank were both great value.
