[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 826826, member: 12283"] I meant he isn't the best athlete at his own position. But you're right, he's an elite athlete just the same and we do want the best overall football player. Of course that [I]could [/I]be Devin White, however I always preferred Devin Bush on the football field, before the combine ever happened. But I think White was significantly bigger/faster than Bush so I understood how most had it ranked. When they came in at almost identical size, with Bush being arguably the more impressive athlete, that changed things for me. I understand the desire for a focal point leader on defense. And I can buy that he has great leadership traits. I mean, if I'm going to be skittish about Gary being kind of a self-centered type of player based on hearsay, I can't just dismiss the consistency of the reports that White has leadership qualities. But Devin Bush was also a team captain on a loaded Michigan defense, so I don't think the leadership trait is exclusive to White. White has a lot of strengths, but his tendency to play out of control at times concerns me. There are moments when he gives me some Aaron Curry vibes on tape. I think Bush brings an equal amount of speed and athleticism while being more consistent in the fundamental aspects of the position. But all of that aside, my main point is that I think it's crazy, with all of the talented players that could be there at #12, to say that White is [I]the [/I]pick, bar none, if he's there (much less the easiest selection since 2005). And I also can't wrap my mind around people dismissing Hockenson at #12 because of positional value and then calling for an off-ball linebacker without realizing that the positional value argument cuts both ways.
