A FEW TRAFFIC COPS READY TO POLICE THE MIDDLE FOR NFL TEAMS NEXT YEAR
It looks like this will be the Devin (white) and Devin (Bush) show when it comes to middle linebackers waiting in the green room to cross the podium on draft day. Most of the other talent here are blue collar types, but a few teams like Green Bay and Pittsburgh are looking at a highly rated rush end as a possible transition to the second level. Here is what Dave-Te and Paul Crane discussed in their latest podcast.
NFL Draft Overview - Inside Linebackers

From Devin White of LSU and Devin Bush of Michigan through Natrez Patrick of Georgia, some Day 3 super sleepers and everyone in between, hear strengths, weaknesses and teams showing interest. Also, the one player several teams are now looking at LB who has not played there before because of what is said here.

New Window )
Really alarming red flags against the run for the 2 Devins !
Wife had me on an errand and this podcast made me take the long long long way home
Keep up the GREAT work!
Hey, will have monster scouting reports up this week on an ESPN site. Also, little hint - Giants are also eyeballing the Burns kid for a possible move to LB. At #17, they are in that "what is left on the board" mode, but the more I see Burns on tape, the more I am convinced he would be much more valuable in the second level or more in a Leonard Floyd/Von Miller types of schemes

Theyve been sniffing around both Jaylon and Burns... betting its the ER for 17 with 37 as their likely OT spot.
Looking more and more like the top spot will be for the QB
Agreed ... if he makes it to 17.

You know Tommy, I can live with my LB being not so great vs the pass, as usually my safeties cover up for them. Even my OLBs, if they are not great run stuffers, usually the MLB comes over to help. BUT, if my MLB guys get poing-ponged or like White, simply fly past tackles (10 misses vs the run last year - ouch), I have to look at them this way - WILB, that way I know my other interior guy can direct traffic & use the WILB as his wing man.

That's the first thing I thought. I think Haskins is the target at #6 and #17 would be likely the tail end of the quality edge rushers wisen it dips in talent. Ferguson may be the only possible value at edge come #37, if not taken. I think the Giants want to draft into the strengths of the position and not miss out on edge, while getting their QB at #6.

You think the Giants would rather Haskins at #6 rather than Rosen at #17 or #37?
Because those DTs need to be able to attack into the backfield - and also get sideways vs the run - as well as holding up vs run blocks the old fashioned way, on a one gap though, when that's called for.
So you - can - field those types of pass defending capable ilbs which are probably a necessity these days.

That's a legit question; however, I still am not sure if Rosen has the personality that some people say would not mesh with other players. I would prefer Rosen for the #37 and take an edge at #6 an OT at #17. I thinks he is more talented at QB than all the QBs in this draft.
