Interesting OLB's.

Why does Mike Mayock think all of the rush ends are OLB's?

Not every single team runs 3-4 or wants 290lb ends.

i just don't understand the infatuation with Pettigrew

He puts them at what he thinks they are best suited as. Thats pretty much it. Cant really argue with what he says, dude is pretty good when it comes to this kind of stuff.

I disagree with him on alot of those guys just being able to play OLB, but oh well that's how it goes.

Yeah but he's really well respected when it comes to this stuff and i am sure he gets paid alot of money doing what he does. He has tape to watch none of us can ever hope to see. I am sure his thoughts on players out there are more knowledgeable then anyone on this forum, but like you said, that show it goes.

I'm an OU guy and he is hands down better then Jermaine Gresham. I don't understand how Coffman didn't make that list though.

No Shonn Greene or Chase Coffman?

Because Chase Coffman is from the spread and has no film of him blocking.

I don't always agree with Mayock, but he is the best one out there, by far.

I just can't buy that Jason Smith is the best OT prospect.
