with #143 pick NE selects: LB Ja’Whaun Bentley, Purdue

[Hammer of Thor]

There are articles on the net suggesting BOTH of our new LB's are slow. On the other hand posters have found videos of them actually playing in games and looking pretty good.

Here I thought you were going to focus on what he should look like when he's fully groomed.



Looks like he's still maintaining that mean streak.

Regarding this pick:

Our team could use a 2 down thumper. Roberts can’t even do that adequately. Our pass rush unit of Harrison/Flowers/Butler/Wise rarely saw the field because we were always in third in short. Sure, a 2 down LB is reduced importance in the NFL now but we still need one.

Roberts is just a liability.. at time's he looks ok and then theres other times well i'm not sure how to describe it...

I like Bentley he's quicker than he seems i feel, could be interesting to see what we do with him!

How long before someone here writes "he sucks.". 3 -2-1...

For the 143rd overall pick, Yes he does indeed suck. In fact, he's one of the Worst value-based picks in the entire draft.
