I like this pick, we needed LB depth, i wanted Kaluka Maivaia, but he was long gone..

Was rated higher than this, dont know why he fall so long.. But Napo gone he can fill in - and will help out on special teams..

I never like trading up, but a linebacker is a linebacker and I like linebackers.

Sounds like he's an impressive athlete, but a project.

I cant believe we didnt get duke but we need LB depth as much as OL.I think wew need OL depth a little more

Seems like a solid pick

Should have gone a little higher

People may have worried about his size or something

I've read the knocks on him are instincts/technique.

6'2" 250 is solid for an inside linebacker, especially the 250. He runs 4.7, and has good agility, so I don't really think the inch of height he lacks is overly concerning.
