Sean Weatherspoon is the best linebacker in this class

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-01-2010, 01:49 PM

3 years as a starter. Great production. Team leader. Schematic versatility. Power (34 reps) Speed (4.57) and he has an infectious personality.

He also wasn't afraid of performing drills like some of the other "top" LBs like McClain and Spikes.

I have to say that I'm very dissapointed that McClain decided not to workout. I wonder if there are any medical issues....As for Weatherspoon I wouldn't mind picking him up with one of our seconds, though I doubt he'll fall that far in the draft.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-01-2010, 01:54 PM

McClain had a "hamstring" injury.

Just like Spikes, he's afraid of exposing his lack of speed.

Ive been impressed with Spoon and he may have gotten himself into the late teens to early 20s.

Very impressive prospect.

I agree.

Spikes just did the agility drill, but wouldn't run.

You are flirting the prospect of DaKcMan AP swooping in to defend his boy with an assload of awesome. Tread lightly.

Already happened in the combine thread.

I didn't respond because of Spikes. I didn't even mention Spikes. But if you'd rather make a connection where there isn't one instead of discussing your absurd statement, fine.

I agree he is a stud. I think Kindle could end up the best LB though. But I like Weatherspoon versatility personally.

Rushbacker does not = LB, FWIW.

When I say LB I'm referring to 3-4 ILB and 4-3 LBs.

In that case, I agree.

I was going to point this out before I saw your post... I assumed that was what you meant... and going on that criteria, I am pretty sure you are right. There may (of course) be some unknown phenom out there... but Weatherspoon is head and shoulders the best that anyone has heard of.

So why should we count out Weatherspoon to the Chiefs @5 if he is better than McClain, and many people had McClain to the Chiefs @5. Honestly. I'd rather have Spoon.

I would as well, but DAMN #5 is way too high for an ILB in the 3-4.. AND it isn't our biggest need at all. I doubt ANY LB is worth taking at #5 right now... now if we trade back to #9 or farther out... then it gets good.
