2015 Draft / LBs / For my fellow draft nerds

[Cbus cardsfan]

I would of loved to have gotten Barr. Shazier to prove his body can hold up at the NFL level but I hope he gets healthy seems like a good guy.

Still very happy with the way our draft. Bucannon is the real deal trading back picking up an extra 3rd I think highly of both Martin and Brown.

Shazier's is a great guy but injuries and his ability to hold up were my main concern with him. He was very productive at OSU and I realize he weighed in at around 230 at the combine but he played at about 210-215. That's just not big enough to deal with NFL size on a consistent basis without getting dinged, especially playing LB and dealing with 300+ OL every play.

Dion Jordan and Berk Mingo also checked in in the 240's when their playing weight was in the 220's. I'm expecting Beasley around the same. I'm more interested in his arm length.

I don't know about Mingo but we already know how Jordan got that big that quickly, he used PED's and eventually got caught.

That's what NFL teams worry about with kids like this,there is so much pressure on them to "get bigger" so they can fit a position many of them do what Jordan did
