Holy **** I loved his tape but wasn’t sure of how he’d test. With him running sub 4.60 I target him at 20 ALL DAY!!

Best tape in the draft

I am happy to eat crow on him as a player at a position of need as I thought he would be in the 4.7s.

Hopefully he crushes the short area drills.

Me too, needs to put a little beef but this changes things big time

20 is too rich, but if they trade down somehow, that is a win-win.

He ran a 4.57 in his second attempt. Could be in play at 20 if we don’t take a LB at 12.

That’s still a respectable time for him. Folks were thinking he was an undersized, below average athlete that over achieved. He’s shown that he’s got more than adequate size and athleticism to pair with his instincts and play making ability.

If they trade down and get a second day pick. 20th. Lol.

Filthy day for Rodriguez.

LB's not the easiest position to scout via metrics, but the two that translate best are size/speed combo and solo tackles. Rodriguez is a plus size/speed athlete and was a human vacuum cleaner at Tech. And the agility drills were the icing on the cake.

I'd definitely have him in the mix at 20 now.

And the best short shuttle of the day! Holy **** he might go top 15 man

Yeah. Now that he's answered every question about his athleticism, I don't know what you knock him on. His tape's beyond question and he looked great when "picking on guys his own size" at the Senior Bowl.

His agility drills have been outstanding

His size was my biggest question, and that got awnsered at the Senior Bowl

 

[reddyuta]

he is legit 1st rd guy now and his actual play is better than any LB in the class.

He's Dat Nguyen in disguise....He's gonna be a one contract player that probably ends up on IR twice in the 4 years he plays.

Just pass.....Wholly hell

I swear no one in this forum knows the difference between a 4-3 LB and a 3-4 ILber.....

He would be an absolute abomination here in a 3-4 defense. Horrible scheme fit.....Don't even think about wasting a first round pick on this scrub.

lol, this clown thinks off ball LBs in a 3/4 need to be 6’4 265.

Look up the heights and weights of Fred Warner, Roquan Smith, Zach Baun

Get with the times boy

This post right here......Just completely proves my point. You don't the difference between those 3 guys.

You don't know what scheme they play in....

You don't know if they are Inside players or Outside.

You don't know if they rush the QB or Not.

And this is why Dallas sucks @ drafting......because this administration listens to people in this forum.

Right now Dallas' wet dream for a draft.......

trade 12 to Cleveland for 24 and 39.....
trade 20 to the Jets for 33 and 44

1/24. R Mason Thomas EDGE Oklahoma
2/33. Dillon Thieneman FS Oregon
2/39. Jacob Rodriguez LB Texas Tech
2/44. Chandler Rivers CB Duke

Good luck with that mess........
