Meet Our New MLB - Danny Stutsman

[chknwing]

Dude looks like a young Dan Morgan.  Hope we can snag him in rounds 3-4

he looks disciplined and smart. I wonder how well he does in coverage.

i feel in love with him during the season.  He is a Morgan dawg.  I do not think he covers well, but he is downhill LB from what I have seen.

Scouting Report: Summary

Stutsman profiles as a throwback downhill linebacker who will make his biggest impact as an early-down run defender and blitz weapon. His instincts and physicality in the box give him immediate value against the run, while his special teams experience provides a clear path to early playing time.

The athleticism and frame are there for him to develop into more, but he'll need significant technical refinement in coverage to earn three-down trust at the next level. Smart defensive coordinators will protect him early by limiting his coverage responsibilities while unleashing him as a blitzer in sub packages.

The team that drafts Stutsman will be getting a culture-setting presence whose intensity and work ethic will elevate the linebacker room from day one. While he may never be elite in coverage, his ability to impact the run game and rush the passer gives him clear value as a rotational piece with upside to develop into a quality starter in the right scheme.

Hard not to fall in love with this kids game. Great angles and he slips blockers very well. You always hear about N/S running backs, but this kid is a N/S LB!

What are they projecting round wise?

I like Stuts for depth, but I have a hard on for Carson Schwesinger out of UCLA.  A poor man’s Luke Kuechly, but amazing blitzing skills.

Have linebackers really been devalued that much or you guys trying to hype me up for the next AJ Kline?

He ran a 4.52. Wasn’t expecting that from him. I’d be ok with it

Sneaky athletic too, first-in-last-out gym rat that brings his lunchpail every day...

In all seriousness, that play at the 0:27 mark reminds me of Luke's preseason play vs the Ravens where he sifted through the trash moving laterally and just attacked upfield. Vital attribute for an MLB in today's NFL.

Would love to get this guy. He's in 80% of my mocks.

We just desperately need someone who can wrap up and tackle. And 10 more of them. We had damn few of them last season.
