theres some scouting the rest of the league is sure to use and slide him a bit up their boards.

People, there is ONE knock on him, and that's that he ran a slightly slow 40 speed. He's strong against the run. He has good coverage skills. He CAN shed blocks. He has great lateral speed. He is ALWAYS flying around the ball. He can rush the passer. He's smart and disciplined, rarely out of position. And he is a football freak, lives and breathes the game. Curry is probably a guy on his level. Maualuga is a lackadasical player, not serious about the game, and he's had some off-field troubles. Clay Matthews is a little one-dimensional and overrrated.

Is he an immediate need? No. But if he falls, we will grab him because he WILL BE the BPA. And he and Timmons will be the ILB tandem for years to come.

i'm sry, but i agree that james is better than the other lb's u say... esp rey.. but 2 say curry is on his lvl.. yea right.. curry is THE best lb in this draft and is not on the same lvl as james...

and wow...
could u give a lil insight 2 y james sucks??

b/c i would like to see it

[revefsreleets]

Bwahahahahahahaha!

Yeah, he sucks.

2006- 115 Tackles, 8.5 TFL, 4 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 5 INT's (An ignorant knock on him is that he can't drop into coverage)

2007- 121 Tackles, 8.5 TFL, 5 sacks, 2 INT's and a fumble recovered.

2008- 130 tackles, 7 TFL, 4 sacks, 2 INT's a forced fumble and even had 4 passes defensed.

Yeah, he sucks alright

Maybe, but I think most other teams will be looking for that hybrid OLB.

Well his interceptions have certainly fallen off. Dismiss him from further consideration.

Disgruntled Michigan fan?

no, just watched him enough to see how overrated he is

taking him at #32 would be a huge reach and he won't last to #64 so I'm not worried at all that the Steelers will make the mistake of drafting him

Hawk was way better in college and he hasnt exactly been tearing it up on the NFL level

[revefsreleets]

And exactly how many games did you see him play? Because I saw about 50...

and u are a OSU homer.

obviously i dont hate OSU because i said i would be pleased with the Steelers trading up in the 2nd to get Robiskie

IMO, Laurinaitis is overrated. Let's just agree to disagree
