But I bet he's at the top of the list in the 4th or 5th round.This falls exactly where I would select him. I think a 3rd round pick on him would actually be a rather smart one. We don't have many linebackers that can cover a TE, its been our downfall for about 5-6 seasons now. We play so much nickel that I could see him being used similarly to a Deone Buchanan in Arizona. Play the smaller S/LB in the middle and just let him use speed and instincts.
That's the sweet spot where you can draft a special teams player that maybe, just maybe, can turn into a super star due to their athletic talent and drive.
He has a lot of barricades in his way, but he seems to be the most driven young man in this draft. If we had not yet drafted a Linebacker in the first three rounds, I'd take a long hard look at him with our 3rd round Comp pick or our 4th round pick.
