Turns out Mike Green has some significant off the field baggage, with two sexual assault allegations.

Always a bit mindful of stories coming out like this around draft time as some type of smokescreen or teams trying to float BS to drop his value, but definitely not a great look to have accusations in both High School and at Virginia. That's a bummer.

I can't wait to see how Jihaad Campbell tests at the combine. He has some Micah Parsons game wrecker potential. LB isn't a huge need but imagine him next to Cooper. Built like an edge rusher, can cover in space, sideline to sideline tackler, basically what we hoped Quay Walker would become.

That's how I feel about Jalon Walker

That's how I feel about Jalon Walker

I get more of an edge rusher vibe from Jalon than a do-it all LB. He's certainly got the speed to play out in space, but his coverage numbers aren't that great, and his play recognition is a concern at off-ball LB. But I do like him and he's got lot of potential.

Jihaad is slightly behind in pass-rushing production but still upper-echelon and his coverage numbers are awesome. Could create a lot of fun simulated pressures with him off the edge and then just drop him back into coverage.

Shemar Stewart is doing what we thought he would at the combine. That last line "College Sacks" is kind of funny though.

Started 10 games as a true freshman and remained a starter the rest of his time at BC. Still only 21 years old when the draft rolls up to Green Bay. Has experience in both 3-4 and 4-3 alignments including some time with Hafley. 6'2, 247 lbs. could probably stand to put some weight on but shows solid strength and burst/bend off the edge. Has a nice pass rush plan that I think will translate to the NFL and could help mitigate any size concerns. Something to consider is his leverage and get off. He seems to work better from a wide-alignment and two-point stance. Was fine lining up with his hand in the dirt, but sacks regressed his junior year, then Hafley left, and he was rushing more from a 3-4 OLB role, where his sack numbers trended back upward. Hafley uses both, so that's probably not as much a problem or scheme issue, just seems more comfortable rushing from that wide 9 angle. He's no slouch in the run game and sporting an 18.6% pass rush win rate is pretty good.

Returning to my write-up on Ezeiruaku. Combine testing went well. I wonder if Hafley would be interested in teaming up with him again.

Yeah, he's takes bad angles on tackles lol. Had him around the mid to late 3rd round but could see a team take him a bit higher with that 40 time.

Can he catch a ball? Flip the side of the field and make him a WR.

Hairston is interesting. I liked him in the 2nd/3rd.
