For what it's worth

Nobody knows if he would have shaken out as the #1 LB prospect. Wasn't Greg Eslinger supposed to be 2nd round pick four months ago? What about Ernest Shazor last year? LenDale White? He didn't go through the all-star games, combine workouts, interview process.

I must admit that watching Brooks reminded me of Odell Thurman. Smash mouth football player as well.

I still say TT takes a pass due to character issues.

No kidding but he was thought to be that. Just stating that, no reason to feel offended.

i watched him play alot in college, and he looks like a stud and would 100% start on our d. And so what if he has character problems, it seems every1 has a problem nowadays. at least we will get a couple years from him and then can tarde him for a pick

The expansion draft allows teams to consider a limited pool of players and pass on opportunities to select players until they get to the round that matches a team's perceived value of a player, correct? That pick will then be charged to them in the 2007 draft, right?

So, if we were to have an interest in Brooks, couldn't we pick him up early in the 2nd round of the expansion draft but only lose a mid-2nd round next season because of our improved record in 2006?

Besides Wahle, have we ever picked up any solid contributors from the expansion draft?

Brooks almost came out his sophomore year of college, where he would have been a legit 2nd round pick, if not a top 25 pick in the 2005 draft. He decided to stay in school, wreck his knee, and then get thrown off the team. I think he is either taken by a team that runs the 3-4 in round two of the expansion draft, or he drops to the third round, maybe even the fourth round. He is really immature. I mean the guy is 268 pounds, I bet he nails his forty at about 4.9, if he is lucky. I think his best years are already behind him.

To put things in perspective for those who have never seen this guy play, he is a nasty dude. A freakish, Urlacher/Hawk caliber prospect/athlete in his prime. This guy returned kickoffs for Virginia, and I believe he did a few punts as well. He played around 250 I believe, and most scouts said he was a faster version of Ray Lewis with the same nasty attitude.

Can he play the run? I am always looking to replace KGB.

my thoughts exactly!

[b bulldog]

Scouts said he was a faster,bigger version of Ray Lewis. He did return punts and he also played some TE. If his weight gets back down to 255, he may be our best LB.

[Deputy Nutz]

The guy has issues with motivation. Which will be hard for him to get back in shape, properly rehab his knee, and get back under 260 pounds.

He is a very talented kid, but I wouldn't waste a 3rd round pick on him just yet. He has a lot to prove.

[Tony Oday]

Im done with character issue guys. I would rather have a team of solid good guys that play as a team.

If he comes in and is humble and blows TT away on the interview well take the shot he has the talent but man I dont want another bitchy player.
