He promised to run a 4.4 40. If he does, he'll raise his draft grade to the top half of round one. Would anyone be interested in him as a Bill if Rivers and Kelly are no longer around at #11? He's a DE/OLB tweener at 6'3" 250lbs.

I view him strickly as an OLB, which is a GOOD thing. He's so athletic and can be a bigtime pass rushing specialist from the outside. Since we had very little pressure last season, that would be a welcome addition. Plus he is good against the run standing up. Very interesting. I'd be having Bryce Paup flashbacks.

The argument would be he's not a Cover 2 fit but Jauron is already looking at a 2 Gap DT, which doesn't fit the D profile.

We gambled on Whitner early. I'd hardly be upset to hear his name called. Instant starter at OLB with the coaches knowing he can rush the passer.

Far better than any WR or TE in Round 1.

Yeah Groves would be a good fit at OLB. Still like Adibi or Highsmith in the 3rd. I think our 1st 2 picks should be offense.

I don't like 'tweeners' and put zero faith in forty times. The faster you are, the faster you get out of position when you make the wrong read.

groves with a 3rd would be a steal.

no. highsmith belongs in the late 2nd early third.I don't want him at all. He is short, light, and slow.

I don't want him at all. He is short, light, and slow. His stock plummeted. One can only hope he comes into the NFL with a chip on his shoulder
