Love this player. Just made a post last night about him in the draft prospects thread as a matter of fact. I can’t understand why he’s not getting more hype.

These is no way we spend a rd 1 on a lb and probably not the rd3. Depth is needed on the lines, cb, wr and we need a TE that will show up. At best lb is # 6 on our list.

How can you be so certain? If the best player available on Jeff Ireland's draft board happens to be a linebacker, he'll select a linebacker @ pick 27.

If Leighton Vander Esch runs a sub 7.0 three cone drill, he could find himself taken as high as pick 13 with Washington...

I'd really like to see someone like that be there when we pick at No. 27...

Mike Mayock top guy at LB is Trey Edmunds over Roquan Smith? Vander Esch over Rashaan Evans? Surely his opinion/rankings will change after Combine and Pro Day.

Major, read this in its entirety by the NFL Draft Scout group - it'll address many of your questions; one of the better reads so far this Draft Season...

We were seconds from spending a first round pick last season. We also used a first round pick on anthony.

To say there’s “no way” is to forget how many of our starting LBs finished the season last year.

We need an upgrade at LB. preferably ILB.
We need an upgrade at CB, WR, TE.

And that’s before FA...
