Why does he need to gain 10-15 pounds? He is perfect weight right now. He is the best cover LB in this draft and adding weight won't help him at all. It's not like he is overwhelmingly small. He has very good size.

When I say LB I'm referring to 3-4 ILB and 4-3 LBs.

I was going to point this out before I saw your post... I assumed that was what you meant... and going on that criteria, I am pretty sure you are right. There may (of course) be some unknown phenom out there... but Weatherspoon is head and shoulders the best that anyone has heard of.

So why should we count out Weatherspoon to the Chiefs @5 if he is better than McClain, and many people had McClain to the Chiefs @5. Honestly. I'd rather have Spoon.

How are you wrong ALL THE TIME?!?

So what you're saying is...Weatherspoon is Aaron Curry? :)

As prospects, they are remarkably similar, but Weatherspoon is a vocal leader. Someone else mentioned this, but he's a Ray Lewis type (minus the murders) who can galvanize an entire unit.

Holy ****, 34 reps?

That's incredible for a linebacker.

Hammock Parties 03-01-2010 07:05 PM

PS, he's 6-foot-1. I'd say his weight is perfect. There aren't many 260-pound linebackers that go 6-1.

'Hamas' Jenkins 03-01-2010 07:18 PM

40 inch mother****ing vertical leap.

I would as well, but DAMN #5 is way too high for an ILB in the 3-4.. AND it isn't our biggest need at all. I doubt ANY LB is worth taking at #5 right now... now if we trade back to #9 or farther out... then it gets good.

Mecca 03-01-2010 07:35 PM

All of the 3-4 teams kind of hurts Weatherspoon his highest scenario is probably Atlanta.

I would as well, but DAMN #5 is way too high for a 5 technique in the 3-4.. AND it isn't our biggest need at all. I doubt ANY 5-tech is worth taking at #3 right now... now if we trade back to #9 or farther out... then it gets good./'09 calling

Hammock Parties 03-01-2010 07:39 PM

Would be awesome if he lasted til the 2nd.

Top 5 Goes:

Bradford
Suh
Berry
Clausen

Haden runs a 4.55 at the combine.

Buffalo offers you Their #9, their 3rd and a 6th this year and a 3rd next year to move down to #9....

What do you do?
