I think he’s saying why not post positives too?

yup dud cuts off 75% of that google page he was on and went straight down to the cons section. We call that straight trolling. just say Dak and see what happens troll claws grow..

Wonder if he can play ST too?

Hell I’d prefer both lol. Everyone has a flaw might as well know those too.

yeah when I go out to buy high-priced items, I always just look at the positive. I like to get burnt.

Both LBs at OK State were pretty good although I liked Rodriguez a lot better. Of course he got picked just before us.

C’mon.. late 5th rd pick. Let’s not be too critical here. He’s prob never going to start, but he’s tough SOB with speed.

Special teams player. This was a “Bones” special

believe it or not there are some here demanding "difference makers" in the 5th round....

Overview

Harper is a 4-3 Will linebacker candidate whose strong athletic traits could outweigh his lack of starting experience for some teams. His pursuit of the ball is bolstered by his speed and agility, providing him with NFL-caliber range. However, his lack of instincts and play recognition will require a much-needed upgrade. Harper's special teams potential could give him a chance to make a practice squad.
Strengths

• Impressive speed and explosiveness at linebacker.
• Ran 4.49-second 40-yard dash and posted a 40 1/2-inch vertical leap at pro day.
• Stays square, mirroring ball-carrier in his scrapes.
• Uses wingspan to get into blocker quickly and separate.
• Explosive burst in his pursuit.
• Springy and agile as an open-field tackler.
• Athletic ability to range and move in coverage.
• Talented in punt and kick coverage.

Weaknesses

• Full-time starter in only one of his five seasons.
• Lacks desired length for the position.
• Allows blockers to find him at the second level.
• Erratic body control getting into tackle tries.
• Very average awareness as zone defender.

Good pick

Weaknesses
Full-time starter in only one of his five seasons. slow learner, so stop.
Lacks desired length for the position. midgets are people too
Allows blockers to find him at the second level. he's not a good hider
Erratic body control getting into tackle tries. he has one leg shorter than the other.
Very average awareness as a zone defender. not smart but will rudy the crap out of it.

not bad

I don't know why that makes me chuckle so hard..lol

I'll admit that he's my least favorite pick because I feel he was drafted mainly because of special teams. Of course, I also felt we picked up Kearse last year mainly to be a special-teamer, so I could be completely wrong.
