49ers’ potential first-round target: Tremaine Edmunds
Roquan Smith will be a tremendous NFL player … and Tremaine Edmunds could be.
At last that’s the assessment of ESPN analysts Louis Riddick and Greg Cosell when it comes to the prospects viewed as the top two inside linebackers in the NFL draft.
As noted here, both Riddick and Cosell went ga-ga over Smith, the Butkus Award winner from Georgia, when asked about their preference. Then, after gushing over Smith, they described Edmunds in more measured terms. The takeaway: He’s a freakish athlete who lacks Smith’s instincts.
