    For many Dupree is still a bust despite growing into one of the better edge defenders. I’m sure people feel the same way about Leonard Floyd even after watching him wreck Seattle today.

    Edmunds was a C who turned into a B and is a few INTs away from being an A.
    Edmunds got very lucky in his 2 INT's. The ball went right to him, all he had to do was catch it.

    Edmunds is going to be a free agent soon. He needs a good year in 2021, otherwise, someone else can over pay for him. IMO he's the 10th most valuable starter on this defense. I could argue Hilton is worth more, and he doesn't start. This year Edmunds was more assignment sound, and didn't blown any tackles. It must be something to play behind our pass rush.

    I'm pretty sure that Ike dropped about 25 of those. For that matter, most of Minka's picks are balls being tipped right to him. Does that lessen him?

    I think Ike was 3x the player that Edmunds is, but his lack of hands was a drawback for sure. Minka makes split second pays, he's allowed to drop some. Even Rod dropped some. Edmunds went something like 30 games or more without an INT before playing the Jaguars. That's awful for a staring safety.

    People still want to say Terrell Edmunds is anything more than a C pick?

    Grading the draft which is the question and not last night's performance by ANY player? YES, I still give the Edmunds pick higher than C.
