Vontaze was a first round talent that went undrafted because he had a ton of red flags that teams were convinced would continue into the NFL.
And they were right.
He was good for a few years though, when he wasn't concussed or suspended.
And if you want to blame Duke, that's fine too. The point is, under the previous head coach, we couldn't draft linebackers for shit.
Hopefully this coaching group has a little bit more say (if your assertion that Marvin had very little to do with who is drafting is true) and sway over who is selected and they choose good players.
And Vigil...is fine. He's good enough to start. But he's not an impact player by any means nor is he a particularly talented player athletically.
We'll see how he does this year.
