Devin Bush ILB
Saw some chatter on twitter that the Chiefs might be interested. Talk to me about him?

A little undersized at 6’0” but man does he fly around

Quote:
He can run. Put him in the middle with DOD and Hitchens around him. |
Quote:
Gotta find solid answers at CB, DL, and S still though. It’s tough. |
Quote:
Tag and trade Dee for a 2nd and a 5th, draft as much d help as you can. |
Quote:
He wouldn't work in an odd front very well, IMO. Just maybe not quite enough length to keep guys away from his body and getting driven out of the play unless he developed some of that Derrick Johnson voodoo that allowed him to sidestep blockers. But in a 4-3 he might be an outstanding fit. I mean if you got the right CB prospect at #29 and Bush's height pushed him down into the back of the 2nd, that would be a homerun first 2 picks. I don't think I'd take him with the 1, but he'd be a nearly ideal 2nd rounder. |

Bush won’t make it out of the first unless he runs slow
|
Quote:
He's a better corner, but still don't think he'll get what you think. |
Quote:
Plus I love that he's played under Harbaugh. |

But, he's going to need a contract soon and the Jags may just want to move him. Again, look at the Peters situation. |
Bush is pretty big hitter with plenty of 'tude
|
Quote:
|
I like Tude and hitters but I would make sure he is mentally stable so he won't smack women around or try to blow someones knees out or go out and piss on another teams logo
|
Quote:

It will be interesting to see how he runs, some of those plays he looked slow, some he looks insane.
Instincts look really good. Brings toughness and good motor. |
Quote:
So do you think they can afford to pay him $18M+, Tyreek $18M+, Jones $18M+, and Mahomes $35-40M per year? Cause that’s what we’d be looking at. I don’t see it as viable. |

I have watched Bush a lot (I'm an Ohio State fan), I have never been that impressed with him. I don't see a lot of elite speed, he does great against teams like Iowa, Wisconsin or power offenses, but we have scorched him year after year with Jet sweeps and crossing routes. I wouldn't touch him in the 1st round. And no, I am not a homer that cant stand any Michigan players, I liked peppers and frank clark's ability. |
Quote:
Grow our own. I have no problem with that, really. I don't think we'll sign many FA's on more than a couple year deal (or deals you can get out of after '21) due to Patrick's impending contract. |
Quote:
Bouye is likely the one that'll be going. |

Problem is Ramsey can be very difficult and they may just not want to deal with him.
|
Let's not have any chemistry problems. It's not worth it. 5 years down the road, the lockerroom could probably handle some problem children but let's keep it unified and all pulling together for now.

Andy can handle problems. If he can't, he'll move on.
Ramsey could be had for 3 years without making a big commitment then let walk or tag and trade when he's due for a big deal. |
Bush is my guy. I think he’ll be good at the combine.
Think we’re gonna have to take him in round 1 |
A 5' 11" LB in round one? No thanks.
Players with physical deficiencies (height, weight, speed, etc.) typically start getting drafted in round 2. |
Quote:
I mean is 2 inches going to keep him from being a good player in there? |
He plays aggressive and downhill. I think we need that in the D.

Quote:
What the videos really show is that Bush diagnose's plays very quickly and runs like a safety. He's a stud. |

I’m guessing they put him at MLB, O’Daniel at WLB, and draft a SLB. I don’t think we use a first rounder on a LB if that’s the case. I’m eyeing D’Andre Walker from Georgia in the 2nd for that spot. If we draft somebody like Bush or Wilson in the 1st, I’m going to assume they don’t have much faith in DOD. |

Play bush at the SLB spot
|
Quote:
If we’re going to take Bush put him in the middle, Hitchens at WLB (or vice versa), and keep DOD on the bench. Like htismaqe said, we don’t really have a SLB on the roster. |

O’Daniel - Bush - Hitchens |
I'd love it if Chiefs drafted Bush.
This is probably wishful thinking but.. 1.LB-Devin Bush 2.CB-Amani Oruwariye 2.S-Johnathan Abram |
Quote:
Is this really CoMo :hmmm: |
Quote:
Only thing is..after the combine I doubt Bush will be there when we pick. Abram might be gone too. |
You need a little more weight at the SAM. 240-ish at least I'd guess. you can play WLB light, 220-230-. You're not going to have Tackles, TE's and pulling Guards coming at you due to how the DL stacks up.
|
and I still want Jaylon Ferguson.

Let’s get his jersey when the Chiefs draft him! |
We can only get Ferguson with the 1st if we let Ford or Houston go right?

So why can't Bush play inside and let Hitchens play the SLB

Why can't Bush play SLB?
|
Quote:
He's a little small for it, but he plays pretty fierce and is fast. |
Quote:

Quote:
Put Bush at MLB and keep DOD on the bench with Hitchens at WLB or put Hitchens at SLB. |
So interesting thing here....but take it for what it's worth because it's Wikipedia.
Anthony Hitchens. Quote:
Quote:

I think Hitchens and DOD are our OLB's as of right now, put Bush in the middle. You have some speed at LB then.
Also with all the subs and different fronts they'll do nothing saying Hitchens has to be part of the subs. |
Quote:
That's what always made those Harbaugh 9er teams so damn good. They had badass MLB's who could do everything so they'd just stay in their base d and beat the shit out of you. |
Hitchens would be a viable Sam; not sure I like him as a Will at all. In the middle I think he's passable but perhaps a little less than I'd like to see there.
If we drafted a new MLB, the LB corps seems pretty straightfoward - Hitch as the SLB, Newjack in the middle and DoD as the WLB. |
Quote:
This team isn't that far away from a good defense. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
He's a fine prospect, but he's not a guy I'd be eager to take that high. |
Quote:
He could inch up that high and be a little Hightower ish. I like him a lot, but an added bonus is that he legit plays with a real **** you attitude. This defense needs that. |
Quote:
Asking because I’ve seen you say you would be ok with Wilson at 29. |
Quote:
Bush and Wilson are effectively a coinflip for me at this point though I probably like Bush a little more. I'd just be surprised if the board shook out in such a way that those are going to be my preferred choices. |
Quote:
No matter how fast he runs or how far he jumps, he would still be a reach in the first I think. |
Quote:
Hitchens is probably punching a little above his weight athleticially as a SLB but if you had Wilson and DoD out there with him, you'd sure be able to cover a lot of ground. Meanwhile Bush seems to just be a bit of a guided missile who could be pretty easily manipulated and you could see some pretty gaping holes in the middle with his aggression, DoD's youth and Hitchens mediocre athleticism. I see arguments both ways but in the end it kinda just wants me to take them both off the board there. I don't know that I see either as ideal enough fits to convince me to use a 1st unless our board has just fallen to hell around us. |
Quote:
The problem with the 'reach' analysis is the same as it ever was, especially in the late 1st. You can't extract the kind of price for that pick that I'd need to give it up AND you're not going to have Bush in the late 2nd in all likelihood. So if you want him, you can either get some piddly as 4th round pick to trade back (and risk losing him still) or take him in the 1st. And if that's the guy you truly think best fits your team at that time, then there's no such thing as a reach. I still don't think I'd do it. |
Quote:
Adderley, Baker, Murphy, and even Mullen would have to all be gone for me to consider Bush/Wilson. Thompson too, but from the sounds of it I’m more open to him than you are. I’d probably even take Dexter Lawrence before those guys, but they’re all in my next tier of defensive guys that I’d prefer not to take in the 1st but I wouldn’t hate it either. |
Quote:
Insane as it sounds, I'd still rather take a pure first round talent at a premium position than draft a 2nd round talent that you have a greater need for position wise in the 1st. |
