Nitpicking 101

I am not buying into Vilma like you guys are and i am not saying that i am right or wrong, but there hasnt been one draft that didnt have busts and steals. The fact is that a lot of those guys were successfull or busts for that matter because of the system that they play in. Linebackers are probably the biggest example. Some systems allow players to flourish and make plays more than others do.

And back to the Cie Grant comparison...it is every bit as accurate as the Ray Lewis comparison. The fact is that both are undersized coming out of college. I will give Vilma the edge in that he has played the position more than Grant did, but they are pretty much the same player. Grant could become a Ray Lewis type. Now, before anything starts, let me say that i dont think Grant will be a Ray Lewis type, but i dont think Vilma will be either. I just think that it doesnt make much sense to have to undersized LB\'s who\'s strengths and weaknesses are virtually the same.

Aaaaaayyyyyy!!
