[QUOTE="ThePerfectBeard, post: 768456, member: 2047"] I wanted to make a post because a lot of people doubt that LVE is similar to Urlacher. I've seen so many Packer fans work themselves into a panic at the slight possibility of drafting Roquan at #14, but scoff at taking LVE at the same position going as far to say he's not as athletic. Let's take a look at a few things: [B][U]Brian Urlacher[/U][/B] Height: 6'4" Weight: 258 Arm: 33" 40 time: 4.57-4.68 Vert: 34" Broad: 122" 3-Cone: 6.94 seconds Bench: 27 reps [B][U]Leighton Vander Esch [/U][/B] Height: 6'4" Weight: 258 Arm: 33 7/8" 40 time: 4.65 Vert: 39" Broad: 124" 3-Cone: 6.88 seconds Bench: 20 reps Now, I get that combine results aren't everything, but he tested better at all the explosiveness tests with a better 3-cone, vertical, and broad jump. To back these stats up, multiple scouts have compared LVE to Urlacher and a young Karlos Dansby. For reference: [B][U]Karlos Dansby[/U][/B] Height: 6'3" Weight: 251 40 time: 4.58-4.69 Vert: 35" 3-Cone: [B]7.48[/B] seconds Bench: 15 reps As you can see, Dansby was an elite player with a pretty bad 3-cone. The notion that LVE is not an athlete is absolutely false. He's absolutely comparable to these first ballot hall of famers when it comes to measurements. Again, measurements aren't everything, but they give you an idea of what kind of athlete a player is. If you throw on tape of LVE, such as his game vs. Oregon this year, he stands out in coverage and crashing the line to make stops. I know I've mentioned it before, but the Packers are high on the kid as well and that means they are at least seeing some of what I'm seeing. Now, I want to touch on this obsession with Roquan. As I've said in the past, I'm a die-hard Georgia Bulldog fan and I've watched every single game Roquan has played in. I love him, but he absolutely gets wiped out in the second level.
