Look at the differences in frame though. its my major concern with him.
I don't like the comparison, I understand the mentality (I guess) and speed, but Willis could stack and shed blocks consistently while still being one of the fastest players on the field.

Exactly. Willis spent nearly a decade in an NFL weight room. Roquan will get bigger as well.
Don't let the giant, old-fashioned shoulder pads fool you. He didn't come out of college looking like the P-Willy we all remember.
They are the same height and Willis was a year older and only 8 LBs heavier at the combine with the exact same 40 time.
It's not a bad comparison.

Interesting. Makes me wonder is he a better fit in our old Fangio scheme or no? Everyone says he's a perfect Will, but I think he can also handle middle. I suspect Chicago May take him.

Yeah, Chicago has me worried they'll take him.

I'm hoping Chicago takes Edmunds or Davenport and ensures one of them isn't there for our pick.

I'm with you, I'm not crazy about them. They feel like 20 or later picks imo.

Those picks would make a lot of sense. They need someone to sub for Lynch and Floyd. Then, take over next year when Lynch leaves.

FWIW This morning Mcshay said he thinks RS will go as early as #6 but will not make it past Chicago #8.

Not good news. I want Roquan as he's the safest pick. Complete plug and play LB. Fills a need, is a born leader and will make us forget about Reuben fast. Praying he's there for the taking...

Don't mean to single you out but many around here always automocally assume we're just gonna be able to trade down no problem and get compensated well. That's not always the case. If the best offer is like a fifth rounder to move down a few spots then f**k that

Lol then take Ward. I did give two options.
If there is no attractive trade down offer giving good value, pick Ward. While I'd prefer to grab Landry a bit lower, picking him is fine too if no good offers to trade down.
