2024 NFL Draft Day 3 Thread

What abut Curtis Jacobs. How can a LB of his caliber who tested so well at the combine still be available.
I'm surprised he wasn't drafted based on his testing numbers alone - but his tape did highlight quite a few flaws. For as fast as he tests, he plays slow bc he lacks instincts as an off-ball LB. He is slow to see it and struggles to get through garbage or off blocks. He's also not the most physical backer. His best plays were blitzing from the OLB/Nickel position or attacking the line on run plays. LBs with speed are hard to find so i did expect him off the board by now, so maybe medical?
 
Size definitely wasn't a priority coming into the draft. The beef helps when playoffs roll around.
