this could be our Kam Chacellor and could take over Thomas Davis' role whenever TD hangs 'em up.

I would take him in the first. talk about value and versatility. if you want it, this guy's got it.

I'm sold on this guy as our first rounder if he falls to us.

His best comparison is Thomas Davis and Kam Chancellor. How could you pass that up if you had the chance to draft that type of player?

Not only would he be a sure-fire starter at WOLB, but he gives us insurance at both the safety and SOLB positions in case he needed to fill in for TD at SamLB or box safety.

He has said he wants to play on the line and he has the versatility to be an every down defender that can cover the run, drop back into coverage and pressure on blitz packages.

TD and Luke can bring him along as a LB and has Roman to get acclimated if he was needed as a coverage safety that can be used as a spy with the strength to shed screens led by TEs.

smoothest and most fluid athlete in the draft with instincts off the charts.

moleman...just get on board and make your peace.

Love how this thread was bumped for me.

He's a Panther now. I'll root for him, but I'm not sold in the guy at all.
