Named co-captain as senior. Special teams standout as underclassman. Intelligent - Big 10 All-Academic performer. Strengths Good size and strength to play OLB position. Able to shed blocks and make plays inside the tackles. Good mobility allows him to play sideline to sideline. Great in preparation - rarely misreads or bites on misdirection. Weaknesses Will often gamble on rush and over-commit, taking himself out of the play. Not the same level of natural ability and production as Laurainaitis or Hawk and may suffer in comparison. Projection 4th - 5th round. Combine and pro day performances will be important to his overall rating. http://cdsdraft.com/profile.php?id=2957 Last edited by AQNOR on Sat Apr 24, 2010 2:46 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Re: Austin Spitler - LB - Ohio State- 7th round pick First of all you got to think the the bottom LB's will be asked to play special teams. That's a no brainer. Someone has to. Replacing JP and JT (2 LB's) was needed.... _________________ Phinfever Live!!! Listen Live: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/phinfeverradio RIP, Tom

So 5 new LBers during the draft? That is overkill no matter how you cut it.

Joey/Jason will be replaced with Wake and Misi. _________________

Makes sense since Dansby is a lot more mobile than Crowder. What are the chances Micah Johnson comes in as a UDFA to add some beef? _________________

I was just saying it was a one for one swap. Use Akin if you must, but it was a still one for one swap. Sounds like that are moving Wake into a starting job, so there is Porters replacement. I get the Misi pick & sounds like a solid pick. Not a huge fan of the Edds pick, but ok. I get it. Get a backup or future player, but the last two picks were simply overkill on the LBers position. No way Miami keeps 4 rookie LBers on the roster no matter what.

We loose Porter (4x pro bowler) - Taylor (6x pro bowler) and people think we should only draft one or 2 OLB's? The chances of 1 guy making it are slim enough... We need a star OLB to come in, I hope we take 2 or 3 more of the undrafted guys to come in and compete.... Its a numbers game, the more players competing the better chance of one sticking... _________________ Caveat: These are the opinions of this user, and may differ from your opinion.
