Re: 2018 NFL Draft Prospects - Saints
Here’s a very underrated LB prospect...
Scouts believe Vander Esch is the player people are sleeping on at the linebacker position, as many have compared him to former NFL star Brian Urlacher -- another Mountain West product. There is a belief Vander Esch could end up sliding into the bottom half of Round 1. As we reported back in November, the Week 11 riser was described by many in the scouting community as a special player at the next level. |

He is almost as good as Marcus Allen against the run. His coverage skills inside improved more than Allen. he just does not get the respect I think he deserves. Roll the dice on Marcus Allen and if the coverage skills do develop, he just might be the best all around safety of the bunch in the long run. I do like DeShon Elliott but I get that over hyped gut feeling with him, my gut has been wrong more times than I care to admit mid to late round steal? keep an eye on Micah Hannemann SS/FS BYU 6001 200 4.56 #7 rSr |

It is all there. Whats not to like? His 2016 and 2017 tape to be honest. A ton of flashes. Interviews with him and the Texas coaching staff will make or break him IMO. Was he used to cover up for the lack of talent around him? Yes ok makes some sense That would explain all the jumping around he did. Even then i question his flexibility. ILB or OLB his play was solid but nothing overly impressive. No? I am worried about the pick and if he has his head on straight. Of all the players with round 1 talent the most disappointing players for me were Tarvarus McFadden CB Florida State* 6012 198 4.49 #4 Jr Malik Jefferson SLB/MLB/WLB Texas* 6015 238 4.57 #46 Jr Vita Vea DT Washington 6041 332 5.19 #50 rJr Right now I would rather roll the dice on a one year wonder like Josh Jackson CB/WR/FS Iowa 6012 185 4.50 #15 rJr let see what the draft process reviles. I am hoping for the best really If any one has in sight on him lets hear it. |

Now this guy falls to us, as bad as I think we need a quarterback, this would be the pick for us... He reads fast, He reacts fast, He just plain plays fast... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

But you nailed the right question - How fast does the guy play? |
