I think he'd be a steal. He's not slow, and he has a good vertical. You can make up for limited athleticism with intelligence, instincts, heart, technique, etc. He made a lot of plays for someone who isn't very athletic.

I'm sure this market would love him, unathletic hardworkers that really should be backups seem to be loved.

He'll probably start out as a backup and special teams player. The Chiefs could use a guy who can bust heads and force fumbles on special teams.

Yea, we should just draft 1st rounders on the 2nd day. Admit it, that's why you don't like him.

You're such a ****ing douche. I'm tired of your bullshit takes on college players that are really just plagiarized opinions from draft websites. You consistently talk out of both sides of your mouth, and despite what the reeruns that hang on you around here say, you're not any more right than anyone else.

JFC i'll be glad when the draft is over so you can stop acting like you know what the **** you're talking about and get back to hating the Chiefs.

Great, don't read what I post then if it bugs you that much.

Sorry I will always prefer speed and natural athleticism to guys who work hard but aren't naturally gifted.

Hell, even the top guys have question marks, but suggesting Follett doesn't have natural ability is a bit of reach. You don't dominate on the collegiate level like Follett did, if you don't have some natural, athletic ability.

I'm talking about transitioning to the next level...for the NFL he isn't very athletic.

If he was more athletic, he'd be a first day pick. I'm sure his 18 sacks were just gimmees, right? 1/3 of the teams have talked with him, because he has no fit in the NFL, right?

Almost all of the white LB's in the league aren't really athletic.

But hey, guys with great athleticism and no work ethic outside the gym work out well too! (see Gholston)

I hope your not dumb enough to label players after just their rookie year.

Lazy is lazy. Hope he turns it around, but he wasnt worthy of being the top pick as some argured last year. Or are you dumb enough to to think a guy with motivation issues was a better pick than the guys picked before him?
