As I've said repeadedly, I'm not saying he's Lewis, but he does have a lot of the same skill set. I bring up Ray because he is an exceptional LB who doesnt rush the passer.
Gholston was heralded as the second coming on this board last (particularly Mecca) year even though he hadnt reached his "potential" and he had Motivation problems. His new coach brought up the same issues this year. I hope he finds the motivation to succeed I really do, but I dont think that a player that cant get motivated to play is worthy of a high pick and thusfar that evaluation has been correct.
My bad on Merriman. He's still pretty valuable to his team. They werent the same without him.
