I've made my position known on Kincaid.
But I'm really starting to come around on Brooks. My real question being - do we truly need to use a 2 on him? For a guy from a non power 5 school who didn't even get a combine invite?
I guess we'll find out, but he seems like someone that could slide to us in the 3rd.
Herbig seems like a particularly poor fit, TBH. I'm not sure where a 235 lb edge w/ solid but unspectacular athleticism functions in this defense. He's a technician as a pass rusher but not someone I think you can just split out wide and send on a straight rush. In a 4-3 he's, at best, a sub package player and really you'd probably just be better served with a more stout DE and the occasional blitz from Gay/Tranquill off the edge.
That doesn't seem to make sense to me at all. Herbig projects as most likely a 3-4 weakside OLB. I don't see him here at all. Some of the same questions that surround McDonald here surround him and he doesn't have the standout athletic traits that McDonald has to offset them, IMO.
I'm fine w/ LaPorta in the 2nd and Brooks in the 3rd w/ a true Edge, OT or WR in the 1st round, but the PFF draft seems like it would be really underwhelming long-term. Not a fan.
