Here's the weaknesses from NFL.com, NFLDraftScout, and Walter Football.

[*]

Consistent across:

1) Lack of growth potential
2) Not good at getting off blocks
3) Not good instincts
4) Lack of aggression

Yes, there have been sites that say he's good in run defense...but when those same sites say he struggles getting off blocks, I interpret that as he can defend the run as long as he doesn't have to shift through traffic. And that's primarily a WILL. For Leonard to start and do well, he's going to need to play WILL. And in order to do that, you need to move Brown to SAM and Burfict to MIKE, two things the Bengals will not do.

I guess my point to all this is that vigil Rey and Evans are curbside trash. I’ll take Leonard right now over all three and Leonard is better than all three coming out of college. Point being he’s an upgrade over all the squares we have at backer right now and all the negatives being said about Leonard were said of ogletree and telvin smith. Both I would take with brown and burfict all day. So as soon as y’all wanna knock Leonard for his weaknesses just remember it’s only cuz I wanna upgrade our linebacking depth with potential for playmaker prototype ability. Shaken griffin for the same reasons
