I really like how he takes on offensive linemen in those clips. There's one play where he knocks back the OL, then the RB and still makes a tackle for minimal gain (1:53).

He's violent even when the play is away from him or over for him.

Can he cover?

Can he cover?

Not really. He's more a Jack Gibbens replacement rather than an Elliss/Mapu one.

I am really big on a cover safety and LB so we can start playing more man coverage. Might need a backup CB in Day 3.

Kind of need OL first.

Shouldn't that read "kind of need BPA first (last and always)?

BPA for the OL

He's another one I'm starting to realise I might have to give up on.

Styles is really good. No-brainer pick for us, but likely long gone.

It's so annoying when we identify guys months in advance, only to have the field slowly catch up.

That's the advantage of picking top 4. It happens a lot less.

If only we could win the SB and still pick #4. Sigh.

He's one of the most Vrabel-guys in this draft. He's just too short I think for me to consider him and I've wanted to like him and have looked for him when I watch TAMU but he just doesn't stand out enough for me.

Win gate? The Patriots got fined for that a few times already.
