Yes I agree about his lack of physicality. I think he has the best tools of the bunch though.

When I compare them, Dennard is way too grabby and slower, Verret is so small too short and slight, Roby is an athlete not a football player. I really like fuller a lot. Think Baptiste is overlooked.

Gilbert could add to the kick return game too. I think he can improve on some of his coverage deficiencies but not sure about not liking to hit. That is a mindset that is not easily overcome.

Physically he seems like a Snead pick to me.

But the physical lacking expressed sure doesn't sound like a fit for Fisher, Williams, or Cecil.

I agree but Ogletree isn't that physical either. He was not good at taking on and shedding blocks. Instead he tried to avoid them. Not exactly what you want from a LBer. I think Fisher andCompany think they can teach that stuff. They were successful teaching Quinn. Quinn was a liability stopping the run until last season when he was very good against the run.

It seems to me that they look for elite athleticism first.

Angry Ram with part one of his three step program:
Well I'm sure Michael Brockers caused him to recover from the Adam Carriker fiasco?
One down, Jimmy Kennedy and Damione Lewis to go.
