I don't think Speaks is as talented as Hali but I definitely think he has some of the tools, especially with the versatility to play inside in smaller packages.

I think people saw him play OLB in a 3-4 and wrote him off. You watch his college games and you see a completely different player.
I was wrong about Hali's ability to go to OLB, that's for sure. I never thought he'd be able to make that conversion. I liked him as a 4-3 DE, though. I just don't see the same ability there with Speaks.

And Hali's really a good comp for me because what Hali did in his first couple of years in the 4-3 is exactly what I would hope to see from Speaks. And I just don't see him getting there because I just don't see the same ability that I saw with Hali.
