Give me Wilson at 2-42 and this guy at 2-59 and I'm very happy. Playmakers and despite being 5'9 Sansistril can play outside some.
I think that's a good point and someone could gamble on Wilson at the end of 1st or early 2nd. Don't recall many LBers with 9 PDs and 3 INTs (+ TD) in one year. He looks to have really good instincts as well. Adding him to Harris and Al-Shaair would give us a pretty athletic LBing corps.
@Shark44 The other interesting trend has been that there’s a half to a full round - grade devaluation on linebackers recently and the trend should continue based on this.
Why is no one talking about Renardo Green?? I've seen some of his videos and he seems like a super sticky cover guy
He's got the skills to man up against most TE's and RB's. He said this in his interview. He wasn't asked to do this a bunch at NC State. But he's certainly got the speed and agility to do this.
Personally, I think he's better than some of the guys that could be had in the 2nd. I think he'll be gone by 86 and wouldn't mind if we took him at 59
Defensive tackles normally are drafted below their draft rankings in the first 3 rounds. Especially NT as half the teams don't use a 330- 350 pound behemoth in the middle of their defensive line. I expect Newton to drop. I doubt he will make it to the Texans. Packers draft before the Texans and the Packers would be very tempted to take Newton here..
Might be one of those situations where the GM and Coach look at each other and say, "we ain't letting the Texans take him."
