[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 660759"] That is a very interesting proposition. Outstanding athlete and football talent. It looks he moved around a lot on the field and did a fair amount of work between the tackles. He's got that middle-blitz burst you like at ILB. He's awfully lanky at 6'6", 240 lbs., and I noticed he chose not to lift at either the Combine or Pro Day, which raises some questions. He's built more like a WR/TE tweener than an ILB. That said, he's not shy about coming downhill and hitting people. He's got the 40 time and closing speed that you'd like at Will. You'd have to figure, though, that his eventual projection would be 3-4 OLB after he adds 20 lbs.; in the meantime I could see him as a multi-tool rotational guy moved around the field for specific matchups. We're going to need that 3-4 OLB by 2017, so a year of physical development would fit the time line. He may slip down the board because his build does not fit for immediate play on the edge in either 4-3 or 3-4. However, this is not a particularly good draft for edge rushers; he's the kind of guy a team may be willing to wait on for a year...like the Packers would be. I'm tired of looking at linebackers, so I'm going to put him on my list as a "football talent". Fair enough, but Killebrew is a 220 lb. safety recast as a matchup ILB in my view of things, maybe just as the dime backer to start out. I don't have a complete list of the guys running this drill, but the guys running it all the way down 11.27 are DBs, WRs. Schoebert's time as a 240 lb. ILB is quite good. [/QUOTE]
