Triplett - Outside Linebacker Needs

jeanpierre · 01-19-2015, 05:44 PM

Dante Fowler is a feast/famine guy, takes plays off, I'd rather have nice and steady...

Some good names to know for this draft with regards to traditional 3-4 outside linebacker...

OLB Lorenzo Mauldin, Louisville; 6' 3", 240 lbs
OLB Paul Dawson, TCU; 6' 2", 230 lbs
OLB Zach Hodges, Harvard; 6' 3", 235 lbs
OLB Jake Ryan, Michigan; 6' 3", 235 lbs
OLB Davis Tull, Chattanooga; 6' 3"; 240 lbs

Paul Dawson - TCU ... saw a lot of him last year and he has good instincts, can shed blocks and is sound tackler. My concerns would be in pass coverage. This part of his game can use some work and development.

Could be a good fit for 3-4 weak side LB.

I won't pretend to know more about Fowler than anyone here. Just seems to me like he fits the mold of what we need at that position.

I've been begging for a speedy LB for some time now. I don't give a rat's ass where he comes from. Just get us some young talent that can make some damn plays.
