There's more to the game than measurables.
But we are talking about a hybrid player than could function in the box and perhaps play as a LB/SS. That’s not Lecounte. He’s more of a free safety/Cover 2 safety. He’s long-limbed like Mathieu, and is a smart football player but we have that in Mathieu and Thornhill to a degree. Sorenson/Niemann are the guys needing athletic upgrades at their positions based on how Spags deploys them. JOK would be a huge upgrade in that regard. [Reply]

LeCounte can also play slot CB and would be a long-term solution should something happen with HB, who is not getting any younger.
That being said, I'm not suggesting LeCounte is a guy that would be interchangeable with JOK. Two completely different players but pieces that work in this defense, regardless. [Reply]

I think guys like Hamsah Nasirildeen, Jamien Sherwood, and Devine Deablo would be similar fits in round 3 or 4.
I like Hamsah Nasirildeen. He’s got the size and length to cover faster tight ends like Darren Waller. Every team is looking to create mismatches with receiving tight ends. It’s going to take a freak athlete, hybrid safety which we don’t have. [Reply]
