If we hadn’t beaten Philly in that meaningless last game, we would have picked 16. 

would have required Philly to score more than zero points. People forget that.  Even Cooper Rush get them in FG range once, lol.

 

But yeah.  Maybe they never thought Derwin was an option.

seems like almost everyone cleared him from it.  not sure why it became an issue so late in the process.  he played every game last year at a good level.

ESPN tells me he’s a former walk on and one year starter. 

So he got good a year ago?

wouldn't be the first time a guy had 1 good season and got drafted.  I think he'll be good.

 

Maybe would have preferred a trade back...but not mad at this.  Makes sense.

He played 8 man football in HS because of the sparse population.... Had a lot to learn.

If you want to learn about him, here's a good article.

Definitely reached for need and not best player available. That usually has a way of biting you in the ass in the 1st 2 rounds. 

Dont like taking LB in 1st. Usually about 6 or 7 years is all you get before they are too beaten up and decline sharply unless they take 5 redshirt seasons like Lee.
