Edds fits schemes that utilize a classic strong-side linebacker role, particularly those running a Cover-2 or Tampa 2 defense with zone responsibilities and a need for run support.
Year 1 rotational SAM linebacker with special teams duties, projects as a potential starter if he can improve his pass-rush and coverage skills.
A team that primarily runs man-to-man coverage schemes or relies heavily on its linebackers for blitzing and sustained pass rush.
Edds projects as a solid, scheme-dependent strong-side linebacker with good size and athleticism but limited versatility in modern pass-happy NFL offenses.
