similar as Pratt was way faster and slimmer then, but Knight is a great tackler and takes great angles. Pratt's weaknesses are Knight's strengths.

Nate; I actually view the comparison as a compliment to Knight. Although he is graded higher than Pratt was, and only 0.1 points below Campbell who went in the first round.  

The advantage that Knight has is his experience as a true LB in college - Pratt had only one year of starting LB experience in college, with the rest as safety. Knight can start immediately whereas Pratt started in the middle of his rookie year. 

Knight and Slaton are the main reasons why I feel our run D will be significantly improved. If he gives us 4-5 sacks as well, this would be a huge pick. 

The Ravens games will be a good test for him. Luckily, they are in the latter part of the season. If he can limit Henry and contain Jackson, we have a winner on our hands.
