So the question is why would a Team draft a similar player to one you already have on your Team? Why waste a second round pick? Is it salary related, performance related or a personality conflict with the DC?
Ultimately; Golden got a less expensive player who can be molded to be his Viper.
Terrible comparison in my opinion. Pratt is a big, slow 2 down linebacker that even fell off against the run. Maybe in college they looked a bit more
similar as Pratt was way faster and slimmer then, but Knight is a great tackler and takes great angles. Pratt's weaknesses are Knight's strengths.
