Reuben Foster. 12. player. 46. Reuben Foster is the most impressive and most complete linebacker coming out in this draft. He is physical, able to take on blocks or read a play for an unblocked tackle. He has made sure that no one runs on Alabama’s run defense in his time there. <p>But don’t get him confused for a run stuffer only, Foster performs very well in pass coverage. So he won’t have to come off the field on passing downs when he gets to the NFL. He comes from an NFL style defense too so he will know everything he needs to know.</p> <p>And when you call his number to blitz, he will shoot the A-gap to disrupt the quarterback or stuff the run. Foster can even come off the edge at times if you want to do something different. Jerrell Freeman got away this offseason so replacing him should be a priority.</p> <p>While Luck is the leader of the offense, the defense also needs a leader and they lost theirs last offseason. Foster’s physicality would completely change the Colts’ soft-on-defense perception too. The Colts have to stop the run to win the AFC South so this would be a good pick.</p>. ILB. Alabama
