I do think some are over playing Pratt can't tackle, no player is 10th in the NFL in tackles and can't tackle. I think over time Pratt did not finish some tackles because he was too intent on stripping the ball. My point is it is fixable so his value to another team may be greater than a 7th round pick.

I've been one of the louder voices in complaining about Pratt's tackling (or lack thereof), I've never once said that he can't tackle. The problem is that he tries to many atomic shoulders that result in ball carriers bouncing and spinning off of him for an extra 2-5 yards, and too much emphasis on punch out when a sure tackle would end a drive on 3rd down.
