I think he's gonna get taken before we have a shot. Like him a lot. I like Darius Muasau of UCLA. Plays like Greenlaw to me.
Best rated coverage linebackers: https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/stats/CD/LB/1/2024

Wilson is my favorite I've seen so far. But I am not a fan of Edgerrin Cooper at all. I immediately saw him fill the wrong gap multiple times on tape, and I have a hard time understanding how he's rated so high despite the mental mistakes.
Starting to get really disappointed with the LBs in this class outside of the early rounds. The only ones I've seen so far that I like are:

Payton Wilson, NC State
Darius Muasau, UCLA
Curtis Jacobs, Penn State

The latter here has some pretty nice tape. They seem to use him a lot like BYU did with Fred Warner. We love coverage linebackers that can tackle. I like this kid in the 3rd and beyond.

JUNIOR COLSON
Just got done scouting Aaron Casey. Dude looks like a Greenlaw clone. Get 'em! Fantastic player stuck on a terrible team.

Payton Wilson is a walking trauma ward. I think he's up to like 14 surgeries including high school and college. Incredible talent but I don't expect him to make it past his rookie deal.

wow.. had no idea about the injury history.. Sorry.. I'm out then. We need a durable guy with talent. That makes me even more down on this class..

2 torn ACL's, busted up shoulder, hamstring issues, back issues, he might very well be worth a late round flyer if his medicals cause him to drop because he is phenomenally talented.

This guy
This guy will be a nightmare for opposing offenses when paired up with a creative defensive playcaller.

Didn't think we had a shot at him. Looks like maybe he falls to the 2nd due to size. We'll see after combine. Great prospect though.
