Sorry if any comments went with it
When they get ready to pick, look for the "cleanest" pick, regardless of whether they trade up or stay put. They might take a bigger risk on a trade down because they probably will have gotten an extra pick somewhere.
So yeah
Not disagreeing with you but
I don't understand the issues people have mentioned regarding his tackling. I haven't seen a lot of Vanderbuilt games, does he have a statisticly high numer of missed tacles? Or is there a technique issue identified by scouts? Wasn't he SEC DPOY? He must be tackling someone. From what I have read he seems to be in the mix for us at 23. If we add an impact LB and another edge rusher our D would be top notch.
having a rangy linebacker who can play sideline to sideline and cover TE's is NOT a bad thing to have..
Why would a team give up a damn pick for Hank? Wouldnt they just... Sign him?

Talk.. has me perplexed. I really hope this is smoke. Don't see him as an impact player.

He is not getting to the ball carrier and lighting them up ala Foster but he is bringing them down holding him up and then taking him down. At least thats what i saw sometimes.

In a trade to move up hence the delay ? Idk just throwing things out there.

Who said anything about a team giving up a draft pick I'm talking about the GIANTS wanting to move up or trade spots so they use Hankins and a low draft pick depending on how many spots they're moving up
