    This guy is one of those undersized players who make plays regardless. Just like WVU's Karl Joseph. I remember watching him just dominate the Vols offense in 2014, when we played in Oklahoma. We simply had no answer for the guy. He camped out in our backfield all game long. I recall thinking "this guy is going to be a really high draft pick when he comes out."

    They came to Knoxville this past season, and although he wasn't as dominant, he still made a lot of plays. They had a really good defense that kept them in the game and allowed them to come back late in the game down by a 17-0 deficit. We need quality depth at OLB and Striker would not be a wasted pick if we took him with our second 3rd Rd selection.





    Even if we happened to draft a pass rusher like Ogbah or Correa, with one of our 2nd Rd picks. You can never have enough pass rushers, and I'm telling you now....Striker will remind you of Von Miller at times. He's that good at hunting the QB.

    No thank you to undersized linebackers.

    I wouldn't mind him Day 3. He was very good in college.

    The mid-round LB that I really like is Kentrell Brothers. Walter Football mocked him to us in the 5th. That would be amazing.

    While I dont think brothers will be there in the 5th I think we should use one of our 3rd rounders on him

    Yeah. I'd definitely be on board. His workouts weren't great, but he is a player.

    Idk about the third, but I'd like him to be titan. He's undersized, but can play ball. Reminds me of elvis dumerville.

    Don't confuse short with undersized. Dumervill was 5'10 260 coming out of college.

    Erik Stryker is 5'10 215. He's TINY, and will never play a down in a regular season game. his splits weren't even that impressive during pro day and combine considering he should be a pure speed guy.
