I wouldnt have any issue drafting him at 10. I may even like him better than White. But if its another ilb in the second it has ti be Wilson. No way Devin 1b lasts to our secondnd pick.
He supposedly has great instincts but guessed wrong a lot and got washed out when he didn’t, he wasn’t good. And that’s not even mentioning his lack of coverage skillset.
He might be better being protected behind a 2-gap but he’s exactly opposite of what Fangio has been coaching for decades.
Both Davis and Jewell run mid 4.8’s, we’ll see how that translates in the new system. They can probably just “intangible” their way to succes, I bet.
Edit;
Btw, you people seem to be missing the point, I’m not Pro-Cravens, I couldn’t care less if he makes the team. I said he fits better, he does.

OTOH, Fangio probably had a lot of Jewell’s at Stanford.

I'm hoping with Jewell it was a rookie thing last year, but I saw a lot of inconsistent play from him. Maybe it was being a rookie maybe not. Personally I believe he is the same type of player Davis is, but wasn't close to being as good at that role. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as the backup to Davis if we draft someone like Bush or White.

1. With what money
I'll hope the notion that he was a rookie in a bad system was right, but I also wouldn't be opposed to drafting two ILB's coming up. Based on what we've seen, it doesn't really appear that Davis nor Jewell are really good fits for a Fangio defense. And despite the dislike or indifference for Cravens...he is a really good fit if he can stay healthy.
I have a growing feeling that Elway drafts Lock or Haskins in the first, and for a lot of reasons, I think that may be a good idea. That would take White and Bush out of play for us, but there are still a lot of good ILB options left after the first round. Wilson, Cashman, Hanks, Pratt, Burr-Kirven, Tranquill, etc. Remember...the reigning DROY was a 2nd round pick last year, and if you recall, he played himself out of the first round with a poor Senior Bowl week and mediocre combine. So, quality talent at the position can certainly be had without their first name being Devin.
Well, Elway might cross everybody up and take Lock at #10, but it's wildly unlikely. As for Haskins, how is he going to get past the Giants at #6, and a bunch of other teams desperate for a QB? Murray is clearly going #1 overall to the Cardinals, which means they will have to trade Rosen.
As for ILBs, neither Davis nor Jewell is capable of covering TEs and RBs effectively on third downs. Denver hasn't had a coverage LB since Danny Trevathan left town. Either of the top LBs, White or Bush would be an instant upgrade at the most vulnerable position on the team. If the Broncos stay put at #10 expect one of them to be the pick. Of course, they intended to move back from #5 to #10 last year, until Chubb unexpectedly fell to them so they could do it again.
