    Nebraska has him listed at 225. So does NFL Draft Scout. I'd take that over Wikipedia.

    And again, he adds 10 lbs and he's right there where Larry Foote is.

    ..and again..I say he isnt the prototypical 3-4 ILB but with the NFL changing to a pass happy league, he would bring a lot to the position that others dont.

    I could see him helping a lot versus the Packers, Saints, Patriots, etc.

      I'll pass on him. We have that "guy" in Timmons. Teams won't need to pass on us, they'll just run it right up the middle and average 5+ yards.

      I want a guy w/ power, blitzing, and run stuffing capability.

        But if that happens then your 3 guys upfront arent doing their jobs.

        And those things you want?...I still think David could do those things to a degree, and then bring stuff that the prototypical ILB 3-4 can't. Blitzing? with his speed and athleticism...he would be a huge upgrade in that area.

          ..but I will also say this, if Vontaze Burfict and Lavonte David are both on the board, I'd take Burfict because of those things that you mention. I just think that David could pull the position off and add a new dimension or two.
