what is your thoughts on him?

[RamziD]

Anthony Spencer's replacement next year? Scouting reports say better against the run than the pass. His size, 6'4" 250lbs is good for an OLB, though.

Green went to SD 3 picks earlier.

Blake and Jones are gone. We need something at OLB in case Spencer gets it in his head that he's actually worth $8 million/yr in a long term contract.

he has good size, more of a movement around defense LB for outside, has to get stronger, and build upper body

more of a pass situational pass rusher too

his name has been mentioned on this board and in draft sites that know him, his name was mentioned to keep your eye on him

just a step above victor butler, this move will help motivate butler and spencer possibly

6'4"...248....4.78 40....7.5 Kiper rating.

OLB with fiery, run all over the field attitude, who didn't bring it every game.

My guess: special teamer, competition, possible pass rusher or guy to replace Butler when his contract is up.

Wake Forrest isn't big time, but it is ACC, so he competed with Clemson, VaTech, etc
