The offense isn't anywhere near as bad as the defense. I thought that was pretty obvious to everyone.

Re: My Draft over-reaction

I want this guy in this years draft, if he skips his senior year:

Benardrick McKinney*, ILB/OLB, Mississippi State
Height: 6-5. Weight: 249.
Projected 40 Time: 4.62.
Projected Round (2015): 1-3.

9/20/14: In 2014, McKinney has 20 tackles, five tackles for a loss and two sacks.

8/23/14: After redshirting in 2011, McKinney made a splash in 2012 and was named a First-Team Freshman All-American by numerous media outlets. He recorded 102 tackles with 4.5 tackles for a loss, one sack and four passes broken up. The sophomore had 70 tackles, seven tackles for a loss and 3.5 sacks in 2013.

McKinney is an intriguing, versatile athlete who has a lot of upside. He has the potential to add weight and play 3-4 outside linebacker, and maybe even some defensive end, along with inside and outside linebacker. Sources have told WalterFootball.com that they view McKinney as a three-down middle linebacker candidate for the NFL.

+1. This young buck was all over those LSU running backs in their upset win down in Baton Rouge. I don't even think the Tigers had over 75 yards rushing all night. He appears to be the real deal.

Very well could be the next great LB at the NFL level.

It was to me. If the defense could have stopped them we might have been able to come back.
