I know nothing about him. I know it was probably foolish to think we'd go LB again, but I really wanted to draft Herzlich. The guy just deserves to go in the draft and he would have a chance to earn a starting spot here. This guy is just depth

Still, it would have been nice to add depth at LB or D-line. Stopping the run was the biggest problem last year. Packing on a 7th round CB to our secondary makes no sense. Hopefully he turns out to be the Steve Johnson (7th round pick) of CB's, but that's doubtful.

Positives: Has good height, came in two inches taller than listed height at the combine... Has good speed for the position, appears faster than his timed speed... Was a very good special teams performer in college, excellent returner with good quickness and field vision... Is a good zone defender, appears to have above-average instincts and good field awareness... Is aggressive and physical for his size, is not afraid to make contact with bigger backs and receivers... Has good ball skills and body control, appears to have natural hands to pluck the ball out of the air... Has good recovery speed when he gets beat on deep routes.

 

Negatives: Is a little too thin for his tall frame, needs to add some extra bulk to hang with bigger receivers and blockers in the NFL... Has difficulty disengaging from some blocks, is out-muscled a little too regularly... Is less able in man coverage than in zone coverage, does not looks as comfortable on an island as he does when sitting in a zone and reading the quarterback... Change-of-direction skills and explosiveness are adequate at best, needs to work on coming hard out of the break and taking a good first step to the ball.
