Tremaine Edmunds - LB - Virginia Tech

In that recent mock, I have the San Francisco 49ers trading down with the Buffalo Bills and selecting Leighton Vander Esch. This won't be the case if Tremaine Edmunds is available when the Niners are called to the clock, as he is the player the team covets.

If the Niners draft Edmunds, how many times will KJ Wright be brought up during Saleh's post-draft presser?

I prefer to not take a LB in round 1. But I need to see this forum if we take Edmunds. It would be glorious.

2. TREMAINE EDMUNDS, Virginia Tech (6-4 ½, 251, 4.55, 1): Third-year junior, two-year starter. "I said he's Brian Urlacher because of his size, speed and range," said one scout. "Anthony Barr is a good comparison. He does anything you want. He can run, he can stack, he can use his arms, he's got eyes and he's a great person. A slam dunk." His father, Ferrell, played tight end for the Dolphins and Seahawks from 1988-'94 and went to two Pro Bowls. Has the longest arms (34 ½ inches) at the position. "You like the length and athletic ability and the speed," a second scout said. "Just kind of raw. Just has to hone his game." Finished with 226 tackles (35 for loss) and 10 sacks. Played inside in the Hokies' 4-2 base defense. "He is easily the best athlete," a third scout said. "He will run and he will hit. But I'll tell you what. He has marginal instincts. But he's so fast and so quick that he can recover. He makes a mistake instinctive-wise by taking a false step but he will get off the block and chase the guy down." From Danville, Va.

Aaand here's one from Breer. If this what they have in mind for Edmunds, I can get down with that. People said the s**t about KJ Wright when he came out about being able to move all over the field, rush the passer, etc. Well, Pete Carroll said no thanks to that idea, had him master the Will spot, and now he's one of the best WLB in the NFL. That's exactly what I'd hope Saleh does with Edmunds.
