[Clonamery]

Kiper has Louis as his #2 Safety.

Blimey. On our roster he’d be Marte Mapu.

Haven't had an Arvell Reese fix in a while.

I watched Penn State v Nebraska (Penn State fan) But I did notice Nebraska's LB Javin Wright he impressed me. The Cornhuskers’ 6-5, 230-pound linebacker leads the team in tackles with 72. He will be entering the 2026 draft, any thoughts on him all you draft experts.?

I haven't seen him, but he grades out well (80 run defense grade, 72 pass defense) but he's a seventh year senior, which even for me and my love for older prospects is getting up there, so he's 25. He also has an on-running issue with blood clots. It seems to have worked out for Barmore but is a bit of a medical red flag. I think he's probably a round 6 - UDFA but might be decent depth. Interesting find.

I did like this though

Hope it works out for him.

Grade Edit: I've seen more of Arvell Reese as the years gone on. Particularly how much he is used as a pass rusher. This ups his value for me. I knew he was doing it before. But it is now clear this will carry over to the next level as a regular thing as opposed to the more occasional Hightower like role. That and consistency of play (Even as a lower impact main position of LB) has cause me to change my tune.

Reese on my scale has gone from top 16 to top 10. I doubt he will be the last grade change I have as the year wraps up. Particularly grades done earlier in the year.

How does Vrabel not want this moustache on his team?

Well people keep saying I’m Vrabel going incognito on here and all I can say is that I certainly do. Take that as you will.

Lol. He can call his moustache anything he wants.

There aren't many more Vrabel-esque guys in this draft than Rodriguez.
