Harvey am I crazy or is Leo Chenal a plodder masquerading as a great athlete? Looking at his body type I tend to think his agility scores would have been pretty bad. He was great at Wisconsin though, and looked like a man among boys at times.

You Badger fans would know more than me. I have looked at LBs much yet.

Mock Drafts are dumb. Jermaine Johnson has not chance of dropping to #28. Watson is not going late 4th.

I'm not a fan of Wydermyer, and now he just ran a 5.02 40 at his Pro Day. I want nothing to do with him. When I started watching TEs, he was the consensus #2 TE. I didn't like his tape. He drops a lot of passes and he's not a good blocker. Now, add 5.02 speed. His stock has dropped off a cliff during the draft season.

LEO is the real deal

JJ is going top 15; probably top `10ish. I think London is long gone before we draft. Gute would LOVE this draft. On Board with LEO as well !

15 years ago Chenal would be future all pro. His problem is he is a in the box linebacker without any abilities to cover in coverage.

don't buy this part of your statement; he was often used as a 3 down guy who was utilized to rush the passer more than cover and has been projected to be able to play multiple LB positions. I'm not saying he's great at coverage but I think it's a stretch to say he's without those abilities as well.

He will get eaten up by rb's on wheel routes and sluggo's and I don't think he will be very good in zone drops.

As an in the box run defender, he should be real good as he is exceptionally strong and knows how to pop guys. But the poor lateral agility will hold him back.

Hope I am wrong, but stiff muscle bound guys don't suddenly gain fluidity. I will add, he could possibly play a role similar to Zadarius Smith and as an interior pass rush specialist, he was excellent at WI.

I really think he can be a dominant pass rusher at the next level if he gets drafted by a creative and elite DC (like Jim Leonard) that moves him around in the NFL. I would not restrict him to the inside only. He's shown improvement vs the pass each year although he's not a guy who can get spread out vs a RB like Aaron Jones or run down the middle with a fast TE. But I think he'll be ok in the zone.

His leadership, intensity, and motor is over the top like TJ Watt was. That's just the drive he has.

I think he'll fall to round 3 and I'd be elated if GB got him there (cause I think he'll be ok and all our 3rd round picks suck anyways).

Curious.....are you an intense WI Badger fan ? Gosh I think after last season he's the 2nd or 3rd best LB I've seen there in the last twenty or so years.

He was the guy I was hoping stayed another year.

Even with Jerran Reed, if you can land a quality DL you still do it.

I agree, but that mock had the Packers drafting 3 DL in the 1st 4 rounds. There's only so many roster spots. Probably 6 for DL.

I watched him a bit. There's truth to this. He's not a good coverage LB now--despite his measurables. I read an article that he's similar to Bernardrick McKinney for this reason. McKinney tested well, but was a run thumper and not good in coverage coming out. However, he was taken in the second round and did develop enough to be a decent coverage LB--because he had a base of athleticism to work from.

I love those first 2 picks especially, but I would've taken another WR in the 2nd, too.
