I wish Kyle Louis was 6'2" (he's 6'). He'd be an ideal Mapu replacement that can also give you Elliss reps as well as the run and hit type reps they might be looking for from Khalil Jacobs. But at just under 6', can he be considered a TE eraser?

Anyone watched tape on this guy? Could be a UDFA target maybe

he has the best 10 yard split of any linebacker ever apparently. I've seen some clips and he's an impressive blitzer but I'm not sure how good a linebacker he is beyond that. I'd be more interested if we'd shown some interest.

Fair point although Tight Ends can jump too.

Mapu replacement.

Does he play well in 5 ST units?

Did Mapu do anything else?

manxman2601 said:

He played defensive snaps as a hybrid nickel safety/linebacker. Not a huge amount of snaps for sure, but there was some.

I suspect that one of the players that elevates for the Practice Squad would do as well in that role as Mapu.

manxman2601 said:

I'm thinking that role gets expanded with the right draftee. The safeties they've been looking at do seem to have nickel flexibility.

borderline UDFA? More like borderline day 2/3. Probably 4th round.
