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.

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
