He'll be 24 to start the year. I don't think dallas would take him

Overview
Rodriguez arrived in college as an offensive “athlete” and leaves Texas Tech as a bigger-than-life, stat-stuffing linebacker. He’s uniquely productive, with elite tackle, interception and forced fumble production. He’ll occasionally bounce out of a run fit when chasing action, but he has the burst to race back inside and finish. He’s slippery working off blocks and navigating combo climbers. His lateral pursuit leaves the station on time and with a fast take-off. Rodriguez displays ballhawking instincts and outstanding hands but busted coverages were part of the package in 2025. His unbridled urgency and “make every play” mindset can inflate missed tackle totals, but the production should outweigh the occasional headaches. He projects as a long-term starting inside linebacker.

I'm surprised Floaty doesn't like Rodriguez.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Exactly the type of tough nose LB this defense needs.

 

[Proof]

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.

if nothing else sold me on him, this just did

 

[Risen Star]

Don't show this to Floaty.

If we fall in love with him over everyone else why mess around. Take him at 12? Especially if Stylez and Downs are gone.

I remember DeMarcus ware being a second round pick, rising up the draft until we took him. Granted Pass rushers are more valued. But we need talent.

At 12?
Why wait ? Lets trade with Raiders and take him at 1

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

Warner and Baun are 6-3...
