    It's just OTAs but Wyatt threw out Tavai's name as someone who has looked good so far. He's getting a lot of work because Orakpo and Massaquoi are still recovering from surgery. Seems the USC OLB is get praise from the coaches as well. If he can shine on special teams, he might land a backup role.

    He was projected to go in the 6th or 7th round. It looks like he an effort guy with limited athleticism with some durability issues.

    Wyatts list of standout players, aside from this guy, are all guys that will be critical to a vast improvement from last year.

    Hopefully he can earn a spot. Would be nice if LeBeau could work his magic on both our OLB rookies, Tavai & Deiontrez Mount, we need the depth. Chances are Orakpo will miss time this year, so either Tavai, Mount, or Massaquoi will get forced into action.

    We are so thin at OLB that he shouldn't have a problem making the roster if he's impressing so far.

    If it came down to it, I'd much rather take a chance on this guy than Massaquoi. We know Mass pretty much sucks. He isn't going to get any better. The rookie has more potential.

    We'll see, he was looking good for Atlanta then fell out of favor.

    Our OLB depth is so bad anyone has a shot to make the roster there.
