I disagree with his point. He's better than Davis in this regard, but he's still only average - not close to as good as Cunningham, with regard to instincts, probably not as good as Anthony Walker or Richie Brown. Cunningham sees it and gets it. There's no hesitation to his game, and that why, despite having to deal with more OL, his TFL numbers are better than Foster's. Foster sees it, looks at it, thinks about it, and goes. I'm being a little facetious, but the hesitation in his game is clear to see. He's a run and chase WLB. He should do well in that role, but as Kdawk said, you get that in the 2nd RD or later, and with the added risk, it's hard to justify him as a bargain.
Not to put you on the spot J-Off . . . but I'll take it back to how much you were in on Randy Gregory and that you would of taken him in round 1. Failed test at the combine and a clear first round, potential elite talent, fell into round 2 where the risk was mitigated and Dallas rolled the dice.
Fast forward 2 years later and he's been suspended like every year of his career and faces a year long suspension in 2017. I don't fault Dallas for rolling the dice in round 2 . . . his talent warranted that risk. But in round 1, unless he is a 5 year prospect like Tunsil or Kuechley . . . you better hit on those draft picks knowing you have a potential high end starter and can get him at 4 very reasonable rookie years and a affordable 5th year option.
Had Gregory been smart enough to at least not get tagged with a failed combine test he never enters that NFL program and he probably is never caught up in this mess. He smokes weed, so do many other players, but to not be clean at the combine was the ultimate red flag when it comes to player stupidity and he is paying for it dearly.
I mean does Foster really expect people to believe his water story when half of the combine is on gallons of water to present themselves at a higher weight for teams? Just his luck I guess. Nonsense.
