To all those disappointed with LVE

Urlacher was a Safety at New Mexico, so... he actually had zero experience playing LB when he was drafted. He was a pure projection by Chicago.

Nice try though.

Im not even sure why Url is even mentioned with this kid..What cause he is white? Give me a break!

If Miller blows up in the league I’m going to be upset with myself for not whining more on the forum for us to draft him.

He just screams Antonio Brown part 2.

I love miller but it doesnt seem like we had any contact with him at all.

that is why they call you the finisher

Will is not even that stupid!

I guess we all should be convinced by armchair scouts that see a white LB and automatically compare him to Carpenter.

Lol. What about those who compare him to Lee and Urlacher, because he’s white? Hhhmmmm....

This and the Bosworth comparison are the most astute.

The first law of holes, or the law of holes, is an adage which states that "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging". Digging a hole makes it deeper and therefore harder to get back out, which is used as a metaphor that when in an untenable position, it is best to stop carrying on and exacerbating the situation.

You are prepared to be surprised, in a good way. I've posted this before, but appropriate again. I live in Boise. Went to BSU home games. Went in person to LVE's pro day... Being as objective as I can be, this guy is, at a minimum, Karlos Dansby. At a maximum, Brian Urhlacher... Simply put, 6'4" 256 lb guys do NOT move like this guy does. He is the best coverage MLB in this draft. His backpedal is effortless and fluid. He opens his hips like a CB. And with his 6'4" height and wingspan, 39.5" vert, and great range, he closes that window in the middle of the field. Makes it so hard for QB's to fit passes into that middle seam or throw over him. In today's NFL, that is huge... Further, I believe it was proven last year that Jaylon Smith is a far better OLB, than he is a MLB. Let him come off the edge and cover TE's. LVE's instincts at MLB are so much better than Jaylon's. Plus, he weighs 256 and has room for another 10lbs without losing any quickness... Where LVE needs to improve is take on. But not because he's not physical (forget the Bobby Carpenter comparisons, they are wrong and lazy). He IS physical. But he is so athletic, he often tries (and succeeds) to slip around blockers. He will get coached up on that... Also, the draft is a projection. And LVE's athleticism is off the charts. At 256, he ran a 4.65 40. And add to that a 3 cone of 6.88. That is the SAME as Calvin Ridley and better than DJ Moore (6.95). Last, he had a vertical of 39.5". That is the SAME as DJ Moore and 8.5" higher than Ridley. For a MLB. Think about that and let it sink in. He is an athletic freak, and an ascending player... Finally, he is a really good kid. High school championships in 8 man football and basketball. He is a self made player. Walk on. Team captain. He will not stop working. He is the anti-Dez... Fellas, do not be disappointed. You will love this guy.

Well said! I think he may be one of the best LBs in the draft. I really like the pick. I liked Evans until it turned out he wasn't going to run in his pro day which, I suppose I"m not saying it right, but it screamed arrogance to me. He was a big ticked item at the U of A pro day. It's what I think put the Cowboys off of him, and LVE is an outstanding prospect.

Our middle is ALWAYS open,hopefully LVE can change that.

Exactly, and I think that's been needed since Parcells left here.

Ugh huh..He wasnt on the 17 projection or the positions in the first four rounds by position..He may be being ostracized or hidden.

CHARK

Our boy in Dallas claims he is a lsu alum and Chark is inconsistent and very light in fundamentals. Speed is great, receiver fundamentals low round pick!

Yes, Chark is so low in fundamentals that he won co-mvp at the Senior Bowl! lol

Let me guess, "our boy" is Broaddus? Smh

 

[TheFinisher]

Im not even sure why Url is even mentioned with this kid..What cause he is white? Give me a break!

Because Urlacher the college prospect was also a raw, freakishly large, fast, and highly productive MLB prospect.

There aren't many 6'4 260lb defenders that move in space in that.

BAHAHAHA..He isnt even a mlb..He is a olb playing in the middle coz big fish in little pond..

Bingo..lol

 

[cowboy_ron]

Just because our personal picks is not what we wanted or not.....doesn't automatically make this a bad pick.

 

[Billyd]

Bingo..lol

He said he watched him play at LSU. look at his stat line..

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

BAHAHAHA..He isnt even a mlb..He is a olb playing in the middle coz big fish in little pond..

Honestly, I think he's going to standout at ILB for us. His coverage skills are off the charts as the OP was saying. Not to mention that he's got nice speed. He's got the skills needed to lock down the middle.

TRUE, his tape does!

Once again, he is not a mike..He is a sam or a will in a 4/3.

No time for reason this will have to do. It’s getting everyones attention off of Dez
