[QUOTE="edensmage, post: 1020900, member: 18343"] Not to detract from the RB conversation, but I've been digging into LB's a bit and have 3 guys that so far have stood out to me. 1. Cooper - not surprising here. I love his physicality and thing he'd bring something we've been missing from our LB group for a while. Maybe if get brings it early it could spark something from Quay too to be a bit more physical. He seems most effective as a downhill attacker - possibly similar to Quay. Not a ton of video I've found of him covering either man or zone. Seems to read the ball well and react quickly, even signs of great anticipation. Also a ST guys which I imagine MLF would like. 2. Payton Wilson - I like what I see on tape from this guy but I question the competition level. I don't see a ton of physicality nor quick twitch athleticism but he does seem to read and break quickly in both run support and pass. I saw one INT/PB he got where he was sitting in a zone and was watching both the WR's behind him and the QB's eyes and moved according to both...very impressive. This kind of play seems consistent throughout. I also worry a bit about his frame. I like his general size but he seems very thin in the legs and am unsure how that may (or may not) affect him with the jump to the NFL. I also saw him run down a WR so it'll be interesting to see his combine results. It appears he may be fast, but may not be twitchy. 3. Cedric Gray - This guy's stats are excellent, which attracted me to watch him. He's a tackling machine and used similarly to the other two above. I see more physicality from him than Wilson. Has some experience and shows ability for coverage. I still want to look at Junior Colson and some others deep on the big board but curious what you all have on these 3 so far. I'd love to be able to double dip on a new set of LB's in the 2-6 range. [/QUOTE]
