Forget Spencer!

I mentioned Purdue

Where did you get this quote?

I disagree and think he could be a very good 3-4 OLB. He's got the athleticism and is explosive. He has experience dropping back into coverage and, while he needs to work on it, he can improve in that regard. He's also fairly stout for his size and should be able to hold his ground against the run well enough. Never heard of the mental thing, as a matter of fact, I've read the opposite in some scouting reports. Either way he's experienced and has good pass rushing instincts. If he has trouble in coverage we can ease him into it by starting him off as a situational pass rusher.

IMO, he'd be a good pick at 25 and he's good value there.

Nobody is dumber than Julian Peterson and I would take him at 3-4 OLB in a second. Spencer is going to be a good pro.

That's funny. NFL.com says the following:

"Has good backpedal skills, but is a bit stiff in his hips trying to turn

he's no brain surgeon but he's smart enough

If Spencer is there at 25, we BETTER draft him. His value at that point is just too good to pass up, and he will be a good pro. I know college is not the NFL, but he had 26.5 tackles for loss as a senior. That's insane.

Seriously, how much intelligence does it take to be a 3-4 OLB in the NFL? "Ok, when the ball is snapped, you're going to be the 4th rusher. All you have to do is run at the ball-carrier and try to tackle him. Got it? Break!"

This draft is loaded at the DE/OLB positions. There is no need to draft Spencer at #25 when you can get a similar player in the second round.
