Fwiw, I have no grade on this guy. I'm strictly buying on role/opportunity.
I had not heard of him until the draft.

Upon hearing about him being used as a LB, I got excited.

Then I saw that he was white. #HardPass

Grabbed him in about 5 leagues I had room on my taxi squads.....was thinking the same thing here.
Double plot twist....ther have been and are some pretty good white LBs.

BJ Goodson reportedly fighting for nickel duties as well, been stashing him everywhere I can as he's been waiver in most 12 teamers and a cheap flyer in most others. Think if he gets nickel on top of Mike duties behind that d-line could have a pretty decent year

Bruiser wrote: Tue May 30, 2017 5:27 pm Yeah, good advice on Ellerbe. We've all kinda forgotten that he is still on their roster. I'll probably use my last roster spot on him.
I own Ellerbe pretty much everywhere. I just got him in a startup auction for the minimum $1 out of $1000, and this is a league where you want to start 6 LBs every week and the top LBs went for $60+. He's struggled a lot with different injuries but when on the field he's been very productive, even making actual good football plays like sacks and such, and he played 70-100% of snaps in the games he was healthy last year. He's basically a cheat code the way he flies completely under the radar.

They have a pretty confusing group of LBs with all these new FA acquisitions, but I really like Ellerbe's chances of being their preferred WILL - especially considering his "price".

I'm not anointing Gerry as anything, but I don't screen players with that checkbox. I know you're being cheeky, but I will point to the Patriots and use their example of a totally mixed group ethnically.

As others have said, Campbell's value is only headed down at this point.

Would I be wiser to roster Correa or Campbell at this point?

I'd roster Correa as that ILB spot in Baltimore is a big time scoring position. Higher upside.
Campbell is ultra athletic but like I said kinda slow reacting. there is a reason they drafted Duke Riley so high.
I only play in 16x53 with 10+ taxi size leagues with full IDP. All are PPR and most value return yardage. So my opinions may be skewed To these deep roster leagues.

In the same concept of Nate Gerry playing WLB in Philly, can Josh Harvey-Clemons add a bit of weight and make a run at ILB in Washington? He seems to have similar build to Obiwan, and has a pretty good athletic profile himself. But seems he has character issues. Have not dug too deep in to those yet to see what is in his past. But he was a 5* recruit to Georgia. Not very great ILBs in Washington. Thoughts?

I think he can be an asset to the team IF he gets his head straight. But he's definitely not better than Brown, Compton, Foster, or probably even Speight

I wouldn't write off Craig Robertson in New Orleans just yet. He was solid and Cleveland and did nicely in NO.

Agreed with going after Marquel Lee, he has a golden opportunity in Oakland.

I know lukky is a fan too, I'm really liking Blair Brown. Jack has his knee issue and Poz is getting up there. Telvon Smith is incredible but LBs are always coming and going. Brown to me is as good as almost any LB in this draft.

I think they're better off having Ragland sit in the middle at MIKE.

Yeah, I like Hodges to run free. I could be wrong.

Hey, let's talk Giants for a sec. I just bought a pair of cheap and startable (sometimes) GMen. Jonathan Casillas seems like the easy starter at WLB, but I added a cheap Keenan Robinson too while our offseason roster is allowed to swell. Anyone have inside scoop on Robinson or Goodson at the moment?

I think the best play might be to acquire Casillas and Robinson as long as they are free-ish. I'm assuming that Goodson is a little more difficult to acquire.

That stat crew is so attractive that the they don't even have to play an 80%+ role to produce numbers. I'm expecting to get decent flex numbers out of one of them and if someone goes down with injuries you might have an LB1 on your hands for a few weeks. It's a murky group with LBs that seem to be slated for specific roles; Kennard as an SLB rush, Goodson as 1/2-down MIKE, Robinson as a pure nickel/dime linebacker, Casillas as starting WILL and nickel LB fighting off J.T. Thomas who is coming back from injury....this platoon approach will make it hard for any one guy to get a full set of snaps, but at the current price of Casillas and Robinson I'm clearing a roster spot or two if I can. I want LBs who play coverage/run in sub-packages so I'm probably staying away from Goodson and Kennard, given what we know today. It would surprise me if Goodson develops into an NFL sub-package LB. He probably has the most upside of any of them, but it's a long shot in my opinion.

It's worth noting that Keenan Robinson only signed a one year deal with the Giants even if he had multi-year offers from other teams, so at least he thinks that he will have a decent role this season. And when healthy he drew some good reviews last season as a pure nickel LB. The starting MIKE is open for competition so Robinson might win a full time role, it just seems that Goodson is a better fit for MIKE in base if he is ready to play.
