As I typed this I just Matt Miller release his final big board.  Brooks at 33, go figure

Brooks is basically a faster Rey Maualuga, but even less coverage ability.
I understand the appeal of a good tackler with instincts and the ability to chase down a ball carrier, but the ability to cover receivers is becoming more important nowadays, so Brooks' value is reduced.
