    This type of play certainly isn't Patrick Queen we need to draft a ILB who can play downhill.

    So… I guess it’s not helpful that his play has gone downhill.

    Could be misremembering but thought I read the league played a record number of snaps in the nickel last season.

    One thing of note is how important communication is as an ILB in the Nickel. People tend to forget that there are a lot of moving parts in both personnel and schematic changes pre snap. Having a ILB who is capable of doing so both consistently and proficiently is key.


    Going to sound a bit crazy but should the board not break Pittsburgh's way, CJ Allen could be in play for Pick 21. He is the drafts best Defensive QB and is quite good at stopping the run. He would fit Patrick Grahams mold of what he wants from both a rock solid player and the central hub of communications to the tee.
