Man, news travels fast. I googled Lawson and he is a Buffalo Bill. On Wikipedia they go thru his measurables for the draft.

 

He ran a 4.43 forty. That is rippin' fast. Holy jumpin. He's 6'5"

 

Scored a 43 on the Wonderlic. Keep in mind that Vince Young scored a 4 or something.

 

What does Vince Young have to do with anything?

So he's 10 times smarter than Vincy Young?

 

I'm not sure that's saying much.

 

GO BILLS!!!

So with Lawson and Bradham being penciled in as our starting OLBs, I think that decreases the chance we pick Jarvis Jones, Barkevious Mingo or any other OLB at #8.

I dont think either of those guys are penciled in as starters. They will both play but if the team loves Jones or someone else, even another FA LB, they will jump at him. We need about three new LBs and just got one. He's a role player but a needed and decent one. Pettine likes to play a lot of different guys.

id assume anderson is one OLB

Mario may play in that role, but this leads me to believe he will be a DE and lawson will be olb

well - He sounds like he can stop the run. +1

 

MANNY LAWSON

 

Bengals outside linebacker

 

The good: Lawson is a solid run defender who can play in the 4-3 or 3-4 defense. He is a sure tackler, missing just three all of last season. Lawson played in every game in his two seasons in Cincinnati, although there were some games in which he played less than half the snaps.

 

The bad: There were expectations that Lawson would boost the pass rush, but he managed 3.5 sacks in his two years with the Bengals. He also looked rigid in pass coverage, which is why he only broke up one pass last season.

 

 

The man sounds like exactly the kind of pick I was hoping for last night: a solid player who fits into the roll without making too much of a splash cash-wise. It would be nice to maybe get a few more, and a decent #2 receiver in the mix but I already feel a bit better.
