Weaver is expected to have limited speed but found way after way to make plays in college using his instincts.
He's also good against the run, which the Bengals do need.
But will his instincts compensate enough for his lack of speed at the NFL level?
Weaver would have made a lot of sense on a Marvin Lewis team.
On a Zac Taylor team though, they probably want someone with more speed/range.
Evan Weaver is no where near the talent Rey Rey was coming out of USC and Rey Rey’s game didn’t really translate when coming into the league he had maybe a few good ears but wasn’t ever the backer we needed him to be outside his rookie year. I don’t see Evan Weaver coming in and becoming the linebacker we need. I can see him becoming a role player backup backer but haven’t we drafted enough of those type of backers yet already. No thanks
