And you think those are glowing reports that a guy can play LB? Most ends drop occasionally but when it's saying "has experience at DT" that should tell you he isn't a end/OLB tweener.

He's just frankly not athletic enough for that, it requires a very athletic end to move to OLB in the 3-4.

Manny Lawsons problem is he hasn't put on the sufficient weight thus he's not strong so he can easily be blocked out of plays.

why is this arguement just black and white to you, it was a point of reference only about teaching players new skills. BTW, Hali is changing to OLB

He is safer bc if that doesn't work you can get good value for him by playing him inside, but I think he can play OLB effectively in the 3-4.

Who hasn't recognized his upside? Once again you have to manufacture support for your point.

We ALL recognize his upside. Most of us just don't view UPSIDE as being worthy of the #3 overall pick.

The same thing is coming from the other side.

I thought if it came down to be about even on their draft board. Carl would override the decision and go with the player that had a good story to tell. Seems like there was a few of those mixed in those rotten drafts of the last decade.
