Nah. I did 20 or so mock draft simulators and watched a ton of film  (i.e. YouTube highlight reels). All these guys were reaches.

Seriously though, the rankings we see from the media is just speculation. Gotta see how this plays out.  

Lol yeah I’ve heard none of them will start by a very reliable source…

Looks like we’re drafting athletes to mold. This seems to be the way of top teams now days, I’m with it.

I don’t know why we didn’t take Wilson with the 3rd. I know the injury history but we also had Thomas Davis on this team.

From watching film and being a linebacker obsessed maniac for the last 22 years, here's what I can see in the kid.

 

Pros

- great athlete. Closing speed, ability to cover from hash to hash, can tell he understands the routes coming and likes to undercut them.

- sure tackler. Now granted, I haven't seen a full game to truly judge this, but his form looks fine. He closes and hits and finishes from the clips I have seen, even on backs like Etienne.

- seems to grasp blocking assignments and know generally where to go. When he does see it, he gets there in a hurry.

- seems to enjoy blitzing and gets the fug after QBs 

Cons

- doesn't always understand blocking assignments totally and thus, doesn't get downhill like you want to see. This could've been the way they coached their 4-2 as patience is a way to play it, but it's not how I would run a 4-2 (and I did in high school and college). Some may even say his patience is a good thing because that means he's not running himself out of the play and leaving a cutback lane. Bullshit. Linebackers getting downhill fast and violent is the play. Ray Lewis, Dan Morgan, Luke Kuechly, Zach Thomas, Brian Urlacher, all the greats dominated this way. He needs to find that every down.

- unsure on his footwork. He does some hopping and sometimes stops his feet waiting to see where the hole is, and this is bad

- pad level starts really high and in the NFL, this is how you die. RBs are about to be second level consistently fast. He's gotta be more aggressive downhill to solve this pad height issue.

I misread your post disregard my previous message!! Reading too many chats!! Yes we need to develop players!! I was thinking players are leaving college to soon for the NFL!! My bad.. wasn’t trying to be an ass!!

Peyton Wilson is still not drafted. Apparently we aren’t the only team concerned about him. People on here are just hyped on him because Luke gave him a shout out.
