Default Our "Sean Lee" at OLB

Sorry, I was already high on the kid and just spent the weekend braking down some Boise St games. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite prospects in this draft and not just because what I see on film. The way the coaches and players speak about this kid and hearing his interviews he reminds me so much of Sean Lee.

This guy is going to shoot up the draft boards. If we can get him in round 4, that'd be great. Need more guys like this on the team.

I fully expect him to settle into the late part of round 2 and early part of round 3. He's not the most athletic, very comparable to Lee in that department so it wont be his workouts that do it. Coaches and scouts are simply going to see his production and instincts on tape then fall in love with the kid when they meet him.

So New England is going to end up with him, huh?

Yeah, seems to work that way.

I can't wait for some of the draft interviews and footage to come out like it did with Lee leading up to the draft. It won't be hard to make the comparison.

I wouldn't mind him if he makes it to the 3rd or 4th, which he should.

I like this kid too and hope we can get him. Unfortunately, I doubt that he will make it to the 4th rd. He might go early in the 3rd or late 2nd.

A much better comparison.

The combine numbers may force him down though. May appear too slow, or lack the burst off the edge for many teams as a 3-4 OLB even though that appears to be his best fit.

I love his motor and if he does make it to the 4th round, I'd sure be looking seriously at him. A special teams beast and a situational pass rusher at the very least. Good character guy too.

Until the combine, we won't know what happens with his stock- just like all the rest.

We need guys like this on our team.

I see him going late second. Measurables aren't good enough, but teams will value his production and character. Type of player a good team picks up in the second because, at worst, player becomes long term quality depth. At best, becomes new leader of the team.
