The only concern I have with Groves is his playing weight. I heard he was down to 249 lbs for his pro day, which seems a bit lightweight for our OLBs. If he plays at his combine weight, and moves as efficiently, I'm sold.
He was coming off the flu at that Pro Day, which might have effected his weight. The "Anniston Star" when noting Groves Pro Day numbers put "249lbs" next to his name, but I don't know that they weren't simply using his profile weight, in place of his actual weight (that does happen). But, that doesn't really matter, as he was 259lbs at the Combine, when he posted those agility/speed results.
Concerning the poster who's in favor of Avril, I'll take the player who's more comparable to DeMarcus Ware (Groves), over the player who could be a possible Shaun Phillips clone (Avril), especially since Avril's pass rush isn't quite as good.
