Edmunds film break down.

^^ Not too impressive here, gets blocked too easily, gave up a mid to long pass in coverage. Just one game though.

^^ A much better video, his highlights.
Pros. I like Edmunds tackling ability when he makes contact. When he sees a play, and he's unblocked he uses his speed to get there quickly. An athlete for sure. The interception moving backward, then jumping and high pointing the ball was something. Uses his hands well enough to break up passes. Should be very good on special teams. Character off the field is very good. Edmunds should be a good in the box safety. If you have a top NT/DT, a player like this could shine at ILB. Or he will shine on 2nd and long or 3rd down as a nickel / dime linebacker.
Con's. Doesn't get off blocks easily. A tad slow to react, I think, but his speed makes up for that. He played Linebacker in 2016 and Safety in 2017.
I think he's a hybrid of both; he might be better off at ILB. All he would need to do is add about 10 pounds to play ILB. At a safety or in coverage, I have some doubts at the NFL level to cover quicker players. Reports say he's easily fooled, but we won't see that on a high light film. He did injure his shoulder last season. Looked a bit more like a straight line speedy player who can jump than a player who's going to be able to turn quickly with speed. He did not perform his cone or shuttle at the combine, so I think he was hiding something. Did he do any cone or shuttle drills on his pro day? If not, why?
Mayock did not list him in is top 100! Gil Brandt listed him at #87 overall. That means Mayock sees him not being taken in round 1-3, and Brandt sees Terrell Edmunds selected in the 2nd half of round three. If any X NFL GM, Player or Coach who does mock draft had Terrell Edmunds in round one, I'd like to read it.
What the Steelers saw to make him their first-round pick, I'd like to know..
Summary: I liked Terrell Edmunds in round two or three. He can do some of the things Shazier did, and perhaps even match up with TEs in coverage. Not sure if he's instinctive or quick enough to play anything but Strong Safety, and I have some doubts there. I think WR's will burn him on routes. However, if he's in the play that does not have good timing on the pass or zip, his physicality length, and ball skills can produce some turnovers.

Would I have taken Reid over him? Yes.
