Mathias Kiwanuka or Winston Justice?

Wrong forum. Kiwanuka at 16 is a reach and he is a 4-3 DE. Where has he shown he can play the OLB in a 3-4? Does he have experience in coverage?

Eh, that's not really true.

A DE doesnt need experience in coverage to switch to 3-4 OLB. It helps, but there are plenty of guys who have been successful with little to no LB experience. It might take longer, and you might have to assign them limited coverages for a while, but it can do it.

He ran a 4.70 at the combine, had the 2nd best shuttle drill and a middle of the road cone drill. That's not everything, but the physical ability looks fine to me.

I dont know that Miami would draft Kiwanuka in the 1st, though. Saban seems to prefer traditional "big" type OLBs on the weak side. I think Manny Lawson could theoretically be an option, but I think we'd be limited to taking a DE/OLB maybe in the 3rd.

what about Simpson? is he a reach? i really like lawson tho and Jackson possibly but i read is negatives are his attitude to go after the ball and i dont want another chambers type of attitude rather a Booker type. Booker is the ima push you out of my way and get the extra 2 yards like Owens and CC is more of the catch and go if not ima go out of bounce WR. i haven't noticed CC evre try to push for more years or oout power anyone.

I say Justice because he could be an elite player at a position that we need better players at. I think Lawson would be an ok pick but a little high at 16 and the same for Ko Simpson. I would rather trade down and get these type of players.

Interesting. I was 200% sure Buffalo was foaming at the mouth over Ngata. I will say this, if Buffalo takes Bunkley and Ngata slips to 16(unlikely, I know) Saban will have a very interesting decision to make

I don't think there would be a decision to make! Welcome to Miami Haloi!!!!!!

Don't see the need for Kiwanuka, not to mention it'd be a reach.
