I agree with you. He's an animal, and I would be very intrigued if we took him and paired him with Mosely. Our run defense would be nuts. He just has quite a few red flags with injury and character, but I definitely don't know the specifics and details on those so it's kinda hard for me to judge that.
I guess the main thing that makes me hesitate about taking him at 16 is I feel like ILB isn't a position that you need to take high in the draft, or sign to a big contract as a free agent. ( I know, ironic coming from a Ravens fan- Ray Lewis). But we did already take Mosely that high, and I just think the 16th pick might be best spent elsewhere. If he didn't have injury or character concerns I'd be a lot more for it, but still.
I think a lineman, pass rusher, or wr would make sense for need and bpa at 16 this year. A lot of options, we'll see soon.
All in all, I wouldn't be bummed if we took Foster at 16, but I'm hoping we take Barnett, Davis, or trade back. So much value between 20-100 in this draft. Lamp looks awesome and almost most importantly, I hope we grab Ju Ju in the second.
Thanks though, I know my views on things are kinda extreme sometimes. I just put it out there though, I'm not shy and I love my birds

You make a lot of valid points. I absolutely agree that having another superstar ILB is a luxory more than a necessity. I disagree with the notion that you can have a top 10 defense without an ILB. And to his red flags, though theyr all minor issues its starting to get harder and harder to defend. I mean seriously, how stupid do you have to be to fail a drug test when you know when it is. And to add insult, he then managed to get kicked out of the combine.

as a talent tho, he's defiantly one of the best 5 players in this class. Iv been rooting for Foster all offseason but just the risk of him being suspended may take him off the board. If that's the case then I concede.

i wouldn't mind Williams or Barnett but a trade back would crush me. Who cares if you over draft the guy you like. Only trade back of someone really desperate offers you something you can't refuse.

and don't ever be shy do put your views out there as you normally do! Sometimes we agree and other times we don't.  It's just the way you said it dropped me off my chair lol. we all bleed purple together

3 more days!!!
