Haralson is the closest thing we have to an all around LB

everyone else excels in one area and one area alone

that is the problem.

Jr gets ridden out of plays to easy. his speed is used against him.

ILB? all run defenders

can not blame Vit for this collection of LB.

Williams at least believed an above average all around LB is worth more than a LB that excels at one thing and one thing only.

+1. We would have to be stupid not to give this guy a serious look in next year's draft.

my fear with him is as soon as he got here he would be moved to the outside and Harlison would be shown the door. at least that would not be a square peg in a round hole deal. oval but not square.

Our coaching staff do that all the time, hey here's Jo-lonn dunbar, a pretty decent middle linebacker, I know let's make him play outside.....
