24?  What year did he graduate High School and why?  Am I missing something?

Let's go Buffalo!

Well, he does have the size McBeane likes.

 

Not sure he has the athleticism though.

He blew up the combine.

4.65 40, 11 foot broad jump, 37" vertical, sub 7 second 3-cone.

I find it hilarious his pro comparison is Edmunds. Instinct and coverage are his biggest a weakness, although both can be over come. 
 

I won’t hate it, he has the agility required.

I’ll take thread titles that piss people off during free agency for 500 Alex.

I won't pretend to know anything about him from watching him personally, but his scouting report actually means his lack of agility and athleticism.

Projected to go which rounds?

I thought he was an instinctive middle linebacker?

Late 1st - mid 2nd

His highlights are incredible. He looks a little small for MLB. As long as he can pass a PED test I think I wouldn't mind taking him at #27.

That’s just knocking him for being a big white guy from Iowa. His three cone was better than Isaiah McKenzie’s. He has the total package.

I didn’t get that reading the NFL.com write up.

I think they mean his straight line speed, which wasn’t great (4.65) but his agility tests were fantastic.

I like Campbell and he did do very well at the Combine but I think he is a little overvalued on this board. I think a good comparison is Leo Chenal - another big 10 LB who blew up the combine - who the Chiefs took in the third round. Campbell is better because he does better in coverage than Chenal did but I think round 3 is about right for him. It’s a very weak class so maybe he gets pushed to round 2. Round 1 should be out of the question imo

Like I said in the other thread, if you want a replacement for Edmunds you better get Campbell or Drew Sanders. If you don’t get one of those two, you’re better off rolling with Bernard/Spector and seeing what they have. I like Dorian Williams but he’s also undersized. Pappoe, Sewell, Overstreet were all high end recruits who are good athletes but bad football players who can’t tackle. 
 

This LB class is that bad

I wish the guy from army (Andre Carter) didn't have his commitment in stone with them he looks like a beast 6' 6" 240 with room to put on weight & he runs in the 4.2's if he didn't have the commitment to the army they said he'd be a 1st rounder ...

You must have him confused with someone else.
