    I will point out that I said "if he is as quick in pads as some seem to think". So that takes care of the 4.33 question. Rare instincts to the ball would be the multiple people who say he is a coverage specialist. Can he hit like a Mack truck? Maybe not compared to other LBs, but compared to other safety's possibly? Which is why I say "try him" not move him.

    Polamalu only (using the word lightly) had 32 ints in 12 years of playing. That is less than 3 a year.

    Jimmy Nobody > Gronk when it comes to TEs against the Titans.

    So yeah, a guy who can cover consistently is key.

    This is exactly what this pick is. A nickel LB to cover RB's and TE's.

    Weren't there entire threads devoted to people whining about how we hadn't addressed that issue? Well here ya go, a young, good replacement to Spence in the 5th round.

    On paper and based on his college production, yes. He's a former safety, smaller LB that had plus skills in coverage.

    I mean obviously we'll have to see about all of our draft picks, but that's what he was taken to be.

    Spence was good for us. If this kid can be a cheaper younger Spence that can develop that's great. He's better at his job apparently than Dudd was at his.

    Don't tell people he was a former safety. That seems to cause head explosions around here.
