He really struggles to get off blocks and gets pushed around quite a bit. He is also not a very good cover linebacker. If you just watch his highlights he is going to look good (like most players) but he really makes a lot of plays blitzing and when he is untouched.
I actually like Blake Cashman from Minnesota a heck of a lot more after watching a couple of his games. He does better getting off blocks, can cover, and seems to be a sure-tackler. I would take Cashman in the 2nd over Bush even so I really hope that Bush is not the pick at #11 and I was someone that was trying to get on board with it because we need Linebacker help so bad and White is likely not there anymore.
Just my thoughts and feel free to tell me what you like most about his game and why you want him at pick 11 if you disagree.
He's similar to Shazier at OSU when you watch the tape. When you use speeds to beat blockers you sometimes get tied up. This is the reason many project him as more of a Will than a Mike in the NFL because he's not the greatest at shedding. His blitzing tends to be untoched because his first step and his ability to get skinny. Coverage wise he is a plus cover backer, mainly at getting into the flats or playing a hook zone. He has the physical ability to run in man but will need work, the tools are there though when you watch him do his hip flip drills at the pro day.
He isn't as clean a prospect as Smith last year, but I think people over estimate how far off he is from White. White isn't this perfectly clean prospect either.
