Stay away from OLB Trevor Reilly, Utah.

Just looking at a prospect this morning that is high on everybody's draft boards. Saw him play a couple times and he always looked pretty impressive for the Utes, so I'm trying to figure out where to put him on my big board.

Low. Looooowwwwwww.

I liked Reilly for the same reason everybody else does: he's got great size (6'5", 255 lbs), ridiculous wingspan, is really versatile in a defense, and has fielded consistent production over the past two years.

However, he is getting projected waaaaaaaayyyyy toooooooo high. Right now he gets a 2nd to 3rd round grade on the sites I follow the most, and that is not remotely justified.

His size is good, but he's maxed out. There's no upside. The guy you're getting in your rookie season is the guy you got.

He's not particularly athletic. You'll see that at the Combine. He doesn't seem like he'd be worth shit in coverage.

He's not a playmaker -- he's a play enabler. He's Mike Vrabel when Vrabel played for the Chiefs. And that's not the guy you want out of your rush-backer position.

He just had knee surgery. And, Mormon-alert, he's 26 years old, as these players seemingly always are.

Just throwing that out there. You're welcome.
