ESPN’s Todd McShay wrote that he is “one of the better inside linebacker prospects in recent memory,” and he has drawn comparisons to the likes of Patrick Willis.

Reuben has my full, undivided attention.

It's time stop trotting out crap at middle linebacker and wondering why our defense is always bad. Craig Robertson is a very good player, but he's a weak side 'backer playing out of position. Stephone Anthony has very low football IQ and is a good case of what happens when you fall in love with a guy's SPARQ score and draft him two rounds early.

Yes, but could not catch at the East-West Shrine game today. Scratch

Foster is pretty damn good and though I think we could wait early in the draft on LB based on our needs, there's no way we can afford to let him pass at No. 11...

IF we land Tomsula as DL coach I'm definately looking at NT. Watching the east west shrine game a Florida Gator caught my eye. Tomsula likes to crush the middle and this kid can crush.

A lotta, lotta defense here. Are you thinking we'll land some oL studs in free agency?

Still don't see Peppers as any kind of fit with us.
