Wow really? As great of a LB as he is, Luke struggles in coverage. If you don't see that then I wont even bother commenting further. And by the way, I think Luke is one of the best, if not THE best, LB in the league, I'm just honest in my observations.

Its something he admits he wants to improve, but it is constantly an area of praise from those who watch.  The guy has 16 picks.  16 Interceptions. 

[Mr. Scot]

As to Daley, he sounds like one of Rivera's "not great but tries really hard" guys. Those players have been very hit or miss for us in the past.

Hope this one hits.

still waiting on those names of whose a better coverage mlb

Eh, depth guy and/or camp body. He can at least compete with some UDFA's to become our backup OL. As much as we needed to improve our starters, our backups were in even more sad shape on that OL. A solid, unspectacular pick.

He's getting good grades from the "experts in the media" saying he has a chance to get a starting job on the oline.

*proceeds to comment further* Yeah to say Luke is maybe the best LB in the league. There are multiple LBs (middle, outside and inside) who had more pass defenses and interceptions than Luke last year but I wont bother posting the facts, look it up yourself. If you don't think that Luke struggled last year in pass coverage then you were not watching the same games that I was. I guess that you are one of those who can stand to have one of your players criticized. Grow up.

If he starts on our offensive line then either an injury happened or Greg Little is a disaster.

Injuries have kinda been a bugaboo for us.  Depth would be nice, if not necessary.

The depth is necessary, without question. The thought of him starting from day one, however, is real, real scary. I would hope in that case we can scrape up some veterans that can fill in.

Yeah if that level of OL injuries happens, then I will agree with the Grier pick. Save Cam and Kyle Allen, let the rookie go out there and get blasted.

Newsflash (for some of you making fun of Daley):  You do not find many left tackles in the sixth round.  If you do, they are projects.  Daley is no different.  We all get that he is no Boselli or Thomas.  Good eye for bringing that to our attention.  However, he is very inexperienced and he was improving tremendously as the year progressed. Watch the Clemson tape.  I imagine he will be depth, but if he continues to develop, he could  become more.  He has a good coach now and let's see how it goes.  Frankly, most of the negatives/weaknesses he has are easily fixed.  Finding him took a good eye for talent and maybe some local insights.  Worth a late sixth.  Good pick.

[JARROD]

This and the Godwin pick are hopefuls. I’m not going to roast these picks. I hope Dennis continues to improve and becomes a solid backup at least.

I get being pessimistic or apprehensive. But if you're really complaining about us drafting an OT in the sixth round after watching our OL the last few seasons, you probably need to just log out.
