LB big board 

Post#1 » by Icness » Thu Apr 2, 2009 12:59 am

Pretty self-explanatory.

I like the OLB class quite a bit, very underappreciated gruop IMO. The inside guys, not so much.

Keep an eye on Dan Skuta and Jason Wililams. Two small-school studs that the McShays and Mayocks are about to start talking up like they've been all over them for a long time. I can guarantee you I'm probably the only person not directly employed by an NFL team that's actually seen both of them play in person.

He could go as high as the middle of the 2nd. He had a great pro day, showed he might be able to play OLB. I still see him as a 4-3 DE though. His stock is soaring right now.

I wouldn't rule him out to Dallas with their first pick, though I think they're looking ILB or OL there.
You want a later round guy who can play rush LB, Victor Butler or Stryker Sulak fit the bill. Both are strictly pass rushers. I'm higher on Sulak than most people, but at Mizzou he was always in the backfield and he tested thru the roof.

Some chance. He's a smart player and a smart, engaging guy.

Clint Sintim is going to be a steal.

LOL at the McShay, Mayock jabs.

Yeah I haven't seen Jason Williams play but he seems intriguing. He along with McRath could be steals at LB in the 2nd-3rd round.

I saw Williams in person once and one other game tape. Dude is freaking fast and he knows how to use his speed. Plays kind of like Ernie Sims but not as violent. Note that the more I see of Sims, the more I see his flaws.

McRath intrigues me quite a bit. He's got an injury issue right now that might bleed into the summer or longer, so that limits his draft status. He's got a lot of Vilma in him, which means he needs a good DL and room to work but can be very effective in that capacity.
