Love him. Especially at 58. I actually could have lived with him at 26 if guys like Nolan Smith weren't on boardHe comes from Arkansas, looks like LVE, and plays like Micah......I wouldn't be mad.
And no, I'm not really making a Micah comparison in terms of level of play as Micah is obviously a freak and actually a different level of athlete.
Mine too. I've been pounding the table for him for weeks.Personally I liked him more than Campbell. My favorite LB in this draft.
Spot on.I like him.
I don't think his pass rushing will really translate. It's mostly just straight-line winning on speed, and he's not fast enough to speed-rush NFL tackles. Sure you can mix him up in some blitzes, but he's not a guy you send at a LT 30 times a game.
He's a lot better coverage defender than he gets billed for, though. I think he has a future as a traditional off-ball LB in kind of an Anthony Barr style.
He does appear to have pretty good agility but yeah, I’m not looking at him as a pass rusher. More a young Barr as you mentioned.I like him.

Dont hate the pick by any means, however, is a LB position less of a need now that we've improved at the DT position? LVE has just improved and I can see Micah now spending more time at LB especially on third downs where Mazi is on the field creating a straight line craters to the QB.I like him.

That’s a fair point.Dont hate the pick by any means, however, is a LB position less of a need now that we've improved at the DT position?

Just think we need a little offensive love in the 2nd.
Think Defense would be complete with 1 more impact linebacker, at 58 he would be hard to pass up.He comes from Arkansas, looks like LVE, and plays like Micah......I wouldn't be mad.
