At 6-foot, 223 pounds, he’s the ideal size for a modern linebacker. He’s relatively athletic, and he’s versatile. O’Daniel played on special teams at Clemson, and he strived in the role. He recorded 48 special teams tackles throughout his career. (please merge or delete if already posted) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only comparisons I’d make with TT and Lamar are: both men are QBs. Both men are black. Both men are fast and can generate lots of big plays with their legs. Lamar works the middle of the field with accuracy and superb placement. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ANY part of his game (besides running) were superb, he'd be in with the top class, not as a "plan B" / developmental guy/second tier guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 in some cases yes. In some cases no. His inability to consistently hit intermediate routes outside the hashes are a detriment to his game. In this case, there are 4 other QBs that he’s competing against. All 4 of those QBs could go top 10 (or even top 5) and Lamar is still likely to be a top 20 pick, maybe top 12. At least one professional scout thinks he’s worthy of the number 1 pick. “Superb” might be a bit rich, but he’s extremely accurate and puts the ball right where the WR needs it between the hashes.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but it strikes me that it implies a trade of one of the remaining big contracts isn't an impossibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxedBill1 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 This draft will be heavy in line backer and offensive line IMO. This kid has process written all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
