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.

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...

I don't know how well he'll transition to the NFL but he's a monster in the Mountain West. He takes over games.
