Top linebacker prospects: 11. Lawrence Wilson, Connecticut, 6-1, 229, 4 Former Huskies coach Randy Edsall reached into uncharted waters when he landed Wilson, the first UConn recruit to ever come out of the state of Alabama. Wilson didn't disappoint, taking the opportunity created by an injury to Ryan Henegan during fall camp and going on to earn second-team freshman All-America honors. Wilson would close his career with a school-record 50 starts and a pair of first-team All-Big East honors, capped by 10.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2010. He's going to bring his lunch pail and put in a full day's work, which will endear Wilson to any coaching staff. Combined with his speed, instincts, pass rush and coverage skills, Wilson is an unheralded mid-round prospect who could prove a steal if he can handle the physicality of the pro game

That's what you like to hear in round 6

read on draftscout that they said he actually ran a 4.55 at his pro day as well, I'll take it.

I'm not into homerism often, but I was actually hoping we would take Quan Sturdivant as the LB. The dude goes all out and makes plays everytime I've watched him.

Yea, I was actually surprised Sturdivant or Herzlich wasn't the pick if they wanted a LB but ESPN's scouting page has him ahead of Herzlich but well behind Sturdivant. Anyone know anything about Studrivant's fall? Lot of guys projected behind him were taken ahead of him.

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
    • Svechnikov and I'm voting cause I'm pissed.
