Don't love this one. Old and knee issues. Baby Clay though, on a positive note.

Was positive for a second there that Schobert was going to be the pick.

STRENGTHS Premium length and athleticism. Played quarterback and wide receiver in high school and lettered in basketball and volleyball. Rangy tackler who is able to shadow the ball all over the field. Has length and arm extension to punch and control the point of attack. Functional strength is good enough against the run. Has length and motor for tremendous tackle radius. Had 80 tackles or more in each of his last three full seasons. Had just five sacks, but often dropped into space. Potential is there to become plus pass rusher. Combines forward lean, hip explosion and long arms to crank up speed-to-power pocket push. Upfield burst covers substantial ground in first three steps. Has upper body turn and shoulder dip to slip under tackles shoulder and around the corner. Dont sleep on his cover ability in space.
WEAKNESSES Missed the entire 2014 season with an ACL tear. Can improve his hand play as pass rusher at the high side of his rush. When edge rush stalls out, has average counter attack. Long-strider who struggles to make sudden inside moves once he gets going upfield. High center of gravity combined with lean lower half make it difficult to play through redirect blocks with contact balance.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 3
NFL COMPARISON Connor Barwin
BOTTOM LINE When it comes to the length and athleticism teams will look for off the edge, Fackrell will be one of the poster boys. His field versatility, coverage talent and potential as a pass rusher could make him one of the fastest rising prospects in this draft and a future contender for a Pro Bowl nod.

Really high ceiling EDGE guy. A little old for my taste and 2 years removed from knee issues. It's solid value, but I think Schobert or Perry would have been better fits. Do not see Fackrell playing inside.

When Barrington said, "you're going to like this one" I thought it was him for sure.

Yeah my first thought was maybe they were going to try him at ILB but he doesn't seem to project there.

So what is wrong with billings. Did he get caught taking a dump in Goodell's laundry basket?

This dude looks like a different body type from any of our other linebackers. Looks long, lean, agile. Doesn't look like a traditional LB at all.

Interesting. I wonder if they're going to use him like they use Clay, playing multiple positions during the course of the game. Pass rushing on early downs and then possibly sliding back to nickel backer on third to cover down field?

He'll be turning 25 in November. But yeah, still a grandpa. (coming from a 26 year old)

The only thing I really don't like is that he's going to be 25 in November. That's a bummer.
