The Blue Board

honey badger shouldnt be ranked ahead of j.banks. banks will have been a 4 year starter and will go out as the schools all time leader in ints. would have been a 1st rounder this year but came back for his senior year

Not enough Bama players IYAM. Everyone knows we're going to have like 8 first rounders next year.

I see him missing Milliner, Nico and Michael Williams.

Agree. I see Nico as more of an OLB at the next level. He has crazy closing speed. Milliner will destroy the combine and M. Williams is your prototypical do it all TE.

Ranking Montgomery and Mingo above Brandon Jenkins is just plain ignorant.

First off, Jenkins didn't have a down season last year - he was vastly improved in playing the run at the point-of-attack, and still had 8 sacks and 12 TFLs. Jenkins is bigger than both LSU ends and is lightning quick off-the-ball. If I had a dime for every time the ACC refs let OTs hold Jenkins on third and long last season, I'd be a rich man. In the League, holding still is illegal.

Because they all almost certainly will be 4-3 OLBs in the NFL. Too small to play conventional DE.

Cause most think they fit best as OLB's in a 3-4

His EJ Manuel ranking was rather generous but if he has a big season he goes 1st or 2nd round for sure, we will see...

That's fairly light for a DE in the NFL. Even lighter NFL DE's like John Abraham and Dwight Freeney are in the 260's.

This is true but the question would be do they lose speed in doing so, which is so important for a DE. I don't know enough about those guys to know where they project. Auburn has a similar player in Corey Lemonier. He's a really good DE but he's really light and I think that will hurt him as far as the NFL goes. A few years ago we had a guy, Quinton Groves who was similar. He has bounced between DE and OLB and never really found a home.

Your post is full of ignorance too.

Mingo runs a legit sub 4'5.. Dude will skyrocket

LOL sub 4.5. Marvin Bracy ran a 4.42 at the Opening last summer. Would you like to race your guy against mine?

LSU's two most famous sub 4.5s:

#2. Total LSU points scored in the 2012 MNC game.
#1. Morris Claiborne's Wonderlic score.

The fact of the matter is that both guys are too lean to be effective at an NFL level at the point-of-attack. They both need to add at least 15 lbs in order to be elite NFL prospects at either DE or rush OLB in a 3-4.

Did you actually just compare the speed of a world class sprinter who weighs 180 tops to a 250 pound OLB ?

I fuggin hope Bracy wins that race
