Too bad he won't make it out of the 1st round, he'll probably be picked somewhere around 10th and 20th pick, especially after he had such a good combine.

He'd be really good - he played both 3-tech and 5-tech and NT, and they also dropped him into coverage at times - that's versatility.

That's funny - even funnier is he was the idiot Prisco's boy (Prisco is Az State alum/homer) and Prisco now is throwing 'em under the bus...

I read a report where Kendricks was very "Jon Beason-ish"... then I started drooling.

Cal LB Mychal Kendricks led all linebackers at the Combine in the forty-yard dash (4.47, official), vertical jump (39 1/2"), and broad jump (10 feet, 7 inches).

Kendricks is an athletic specimen at 5-foot-11, 240 and has the production to back it up after earning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year honors as a senior. While not known especially well in the media community, the thumping inside linebacker has some Jon Beason-ish traits. He could surprise as a second-round pick. Feb 27 - 3:25 PM

This was just an excerpt on rotoworld.

Mychal Kendricks Might Be The Most Athletic LB In The Draft - Bleeding Green Nation

Goes to show how under scouted he was previously. He tested himself out of our range.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.

Thanks Papz!

Philly fans are as passionate about the Eagles as Boston fans are about the Red Sox!

With his size, and per the article, he's definitely a middle backer...

He could've been a 2nd rounder, but with combine he had and the athletic capabilities he showed, there's no way he is still available when the Saints pick in the 2nd round.
