Why Not? 04-24-2020 08:05 PM

Quick Quiz answer:

You guys pretty much all said it.

His weaknesses can absolutely be coached out of him.

In addition to the speed, he has a nearly 40 inch vertical leap. Freak athlete at 240 pounds. Hope the coaches can get the best out of him!

Not even really worth time discussing because there isn't much to discuss. Pure athletic specimen you hope to mold into an actual football player. This is the type of guy you take in round 5.

Can't say I'm too fond of Veach and his ability to find linebackers at this point. Hope like **** House can turn him into something useful.

How about the two guys staring you in the ****ing face that actually had production in college Veach? Jesus Christ.

Can't play football, though.

If we ever lose Spags he is unplayable.

Spags ain’t coaching another 4 years.

I normally don't even look at linebackers with no instincts but if they just keep him near the LOS and rush him every down he won't need to have them.

I take this a bit personal since Willie Gay is one of my favorite prospects...

Mississippi State defense is a football factory, man. Lotta talent comes out of there. Give it a chance.

Because we all know, college production= automatic NFL success!

Good god.

He has all the physical traits in the world to be a superstar. He's got alot of development to go to realize it. Sorry if I'm not enamored with that in a 2nd round pick. KPass 2.0, but with even less collegiate production.

I would take Logan Wilson every day of the week over this kid at this spot.

Warpaint69 04-24-2020 08:07 PM

And not to sound like a dick, but what makes you a superior NFL talent evaluator?

Good god.

there's like one post that hates the pick and the rest are jizzing over it. It's okay to have a different take than the mainstream opinion. There's a little boom or bust to the pick, but that's ok. If it works out, you have one of the faster linebackers in the game that can make plays. If it doesn't, we'll be alright. We've gotten zero out of our 2nd round pick from 2 years ago and it took KPass like 3 years to do something and we turned out alright.
