Quick Take:
High energy player with good motor. Very athletic, likes to propel himself into his hits, but overall lacks strength, which causes him trouble when trying to shed blocks. Plays downhill, tracks the ball fairly well, very good instincts, manages to get into a good spot against the ball carrier on a regular basis. Plays a bit too fast at times, and can be caught with misdirection and playaction on a pretty consistent basis.plays faster than timed speed and had good range. Has some pass rushing ability, and may be a Will in a 4-3. Short arms amplify his strength deficiencies. Can contribute immediately to STs while he develops.
Where He Goes in the Draft:
bottom of the 4th round
What is Denver's Interest In Him?
High.
Along with Casey Matthews, Denver sees a few playmaking LBs that would be good additions to the corps in the 4th round. Again, if a trade is brewing, keep these guys in mind.

[Note: All players in the table are ranked by overall grade within their round grouping, however, the round groupings are based on where this player will likely be drafted based on where teams are currently selecting in the draft. Therefore a player is ranked within a group by his level of ability, but players in nearby groupings may have higher or lower actual grades, despite being in a different group. Confusing enough for you? --Styg]
