The FBG annual says he plays WLB but the depthcarts here have him listed at SLB:

Anyone know the deal?

SLB.

LeRoy Hill is simply too small to play over the TE.

Not 100% certain, but it seems like Seattle is actaully a left and right LB team.

 

[sholditch]

he's projected pretty high (18th overall) in the annual, and I know he was pretty decent at San Fran. Would you guys consider him over Spikes, T. Davis, Ernie Sims?

dynasty or redraft?

i may be in minority, but achilles injuries can be tricky, so i am concerned about spikes...

TD could be a great SLB... but he is still a SLB... marcus washington (in other words, top 25 LB) may be his upside...

i think sims is going to be a monster & is my favorite rookie IDP, even over hawk & super mario, & could be best OVERALL IDP to emerge from this class... he could have top 20 upside this year & top 10 in future...

he went to same school as brooks, has similar or better measureables & his coach comes from same pro team... you can connect the dots...

 

[sholditch]

so you would take Sims. got it. I'm OTC right now and have to decide between someone like him, Marcedes Lewis or pope, or harrison/calhoun. I know I'm not giving enough info for that, just caught without any great options, I guess other than him.

took your advice and nabbed him. Hopefully he can adapt quickly and be a nice LB4.

for my taste there is a lot of uncertainty shrouding pope, calhoun & harrison (i like calhoun better if i have kevin williams, which i don't )... i like marcedes lewis A LOT, & it is almost a dead heat for me between he & sims... at that point, whether you need a TE or LB more would probably drive the decision... i do think lewis is potentially a blue chip, elite TE... not necessarily gates, t-gon good, but a potential top 10 guy with upside in few years... sims will probably contribute at higher level on his side of the ball right off the bat...

* sims does have a concussion history, but team doctors looked at everything & signed off on the pick... my faceoff upside on sims is below... i guess you'll be able to tell i like him a lot...

** bloom, in his most recent post draft rookie top 100 dated 5-5-06, has it bang-bang, with marcedes #14 overall, followed by best of the IDPs hawk & sims at #15-#16...

Jones?

 

[Bob_Magaw]

oops... i don't like calhoun as much as a handcuff for the cowboys WR & return specialist from the 90s...
