(From NFL Draft Geek):
Pros:
Great instincts and diagnoses plays very quickly
Very good in pursuit, takes great angles to the ball, and does a nice job wading through traffic
Excellent form tackler, wraps up, drives the ball carrier backwards
Very good upper body strength
Impressive speed (4.68), and plays even faster
Very experienced, 2 year starter in the SEC
High football IQ, good in gap control, and rarely out of position
Cons:
Poor in coverage, doesn't get good depth in zone, and is undisciplined in man coverage
Offers nothing as a pass rusher
Has a tough time taking on blockers
Stiff hips
Gets engulfed by big offensive lineman

Feels like a whole lot of "meh"

If he wasn't good at getting off blocks in college why would we draft him to play ILB in a 3-4 where he would most certainly have a body on him. He won't play outside in the 3-4 either because he can't rush the passer sounds like a 4-3 MLB/SLB to me

Think potential somewhere between Omar Gaither and Nick Barnett. Same kind of guy.

Don't know much about him but I like the pick of ILB, I hope that the Iowa T makes it to us in the fifth

Think about it this way; he played in the SEC. The SEC is full of guys who are better than the rest, and have NFL ready players up and down their team's rosters. Guy seems to have great sideline to sideline pursuit, but when things get vertical he has trouble with.
What do you expect from a 4th rounder though? He's going to be an ILB, and btw, in a 3/4 you're not going to have a lot of bodies on you. Your DL should be eating bodies up for you to make a play.

He looks like a mid to late round LB selection. Not much pop on his hits, acceptable tackler. Might have 4.68 speed, but I didn't see that in his game video. Nice horse collar towards the end there lol.
I think he'll be of some use to us. My only problem is where we selected him. I'm 90% sure this guy would be on the board when we selected again in the 5th. I can't recall hearing how this is a particularly deep draft for LB, so I have a hard time believing that an OT or OG that was rated higher wouldn't have been a better pick here given the OL depth in this draft.

He could have been had in the 5th or 6th imo. This pick is very much similar to our previous mid-round picks.. unheard of guys that don't offer much value where their picked. I do believe he will actually contribute tho

Lately it seems that we always believe that there is some great OL late in mid/late in the draft and after the season we don't even hear of him at all ever again. I think we should create the draft version of the league of awesome, lol. |

I agree...anyone who plays in the SEC has to at least bring something to the table. I wonder if Haslett knew about this guy when he was coaching the Saints nearby...Corey Chavous said that Haslett was one of the most creative defensive coordinators he's been around and he said this is a great pick for us.

Sadly, we wouldn't know much about that. Save for Chad Rinehart, who -- shocker -- was a reach and not worthy of his draft slot, we haven't any mid/late round OL. We haven't draft OL at all. That's why we have such an awesome stable of UDFAs on our roster along the OL.

I wouldnt call Perry Riley "unheard of". If you watch SEC football then you should know who he is. I think we got a pretty good LB for the 4th round.
