I hear a lot of people saying they'd like him in the 5th. But everywhere I've read he's expected to go earlier than that. Am I not up to date or do ya'll just think he's going to drop?

NFL Draft Scout still has him in the 5th, I think all the stuff you see about him going higher really is based off his last name. I think the 4th is probably the highest he could go right now, I don't see him as a 3rd rounder.

There's simply very little case that can be made for drafting this kid without mentioning his name and his brother. On his own merits, he's not worth drafting except towards the end of the draft.

I read at the Senior Bowl practices that he looked utterly lost in space and couldn't cover anyone... something he'd have to be able to do because he'd have to make his living as a cover-backer; he lacks the physicality to be anything else.

I don't like him for this team as an ILB in anything earlier than the 5th.

Nope, that is a purely white trait (softies)! :laugh2:

That Urlacher dude is a cream puff.

Where'd you read that he looked utterly lost in space?

I watched a few of the practices and even live blogged the last one, and thought he looked pretty good. He even had a nice pick in the endzone on the last day.
