Anyone watching this on NFLN today? I think think is the group we should be most focused on in the draft. JG is in attendance which gives me hope that he's on it. lol

When i think about what we actually need I think, Sure tackler with enough speed to be in coverage. Carter could fit the bill no doubt!


btw Shaquem Griffin is athletic as all hell. If only he had both hands!

These guys are running better than a lot of the receivers

I was about to say the same thing. These linebackers are running as fast at wr's and rb's at 230+ lbs. I think if we are going to run the 4-3 we need speedy linebackers like we had when we ran the 4-3 with coakleyand nyugen. We need speed to the ball. Especially running this cover 2 zone crap.

LBs can only utilize their speed if we have BIG DT to take up blockers. Sadly our coaches do not think logically.

Taven Bryan impressive combine. The guy is definitely an athlete! Was expecting at least a little faster 40 time from Harrison Phillips but he killed the bench press. Is he a 3-Tech or 1-Tech?

I would love to get Edmunds or Smith but I think they will picked before us. Evans is another lb who looks good but I am weary of lbs from Bama. Waner from BYU is o intriguing. He looked smooth in the drills. Has anyone seen him play?
