Since our next pick is the one we got from the Pats, it's destined to be genius, right?

would be fitting to use it on a rb, could compare mg and new guy

I somewhat disagree, we have Clay and not much else decent.

Logan Thomas is a project but maybe they've seen something in him they like?

it wouldbe a great feel good moment. If there was any way to make it an outdoor event more so.

Canalside would be a great location. Key Bank arena is your backup in case of weather.

They really need to stop trying to make the draft an interactive event with all the crap with each pick, the only people who are watching at this point are the diehards.

His NFL.Com profile

 

STRENGTHS

Well-defined with muscular arms and tapered waist. Wonderfully aggressive. Heat-seeking missile who looks for contact. Form tackler looking to strike, lift, and bury. Former safety with disciplined vision and above-average instincts. Can get home as blitzer. Reacts quickly to play-action screen passes and reverses. Good straight-line speed and revved motor for extended tackle range. Has some coverage ability in space. Durable two-year starter playing more than 94 percent of his team's defensive snaps. Accelerates through contact. Speed and toughness creates potential opportunities at multiple linebacker spots. Special teams demon with three blocked punts and 24 coverage tackles.

 

WEAKNESSES

Needs to add a little more size to his frame. Can be outmuscled by size. Hand usage is inconsistent. Needs to improve in art of discarding blockers. Just average at punching and shedding to keep himself clean in take-on situations. Bad habit of ducking head into crunching tackles rather than seeing what he hits. Tightly wound with average change-of-direction talent. Can improve his path to perimeter to avoid traffic around him.

 

SOURCES TELL US

"I love watching him on tape. You just know he wishes he were bigger so he could hit even harder. He's not as good as (Brian) Cushing, but that's the same kind of mentality he plays with." -- Northeast area scout for AFC team

 

NFL COMPARISON

John Timu

 

BOTTOM LINE

Undersized for the linebacker spot, but extremely tough and aggressive. A little tight-hipped and might struggle to finish tackles that aren't right in front of him, but he brings as much pound-for-pound force behind his tackles as anyone in the draft. Productive player with good instincts and a nose for the ball. He has value as a 4-3 OLB and a 3-4 WILB, and should become a top contributor in coverage on special teams.
