    Strengths: His biggest strength is his tackling efficiency. He takes great angles and is a technically sound tackler that will get his head around the ball carrier and wrap up in space. He possesses adequate height, great bulk and is well-built. He has explosive power and is naturally strong. Plays with leverage, is thickly built and has very good lower body strength. He is disciplined, reads his keys well and won't make many mental errors. He's a downhill striker who fills hard and shows explosive initial pop at the POA. Does a very good job of taking on and disengaging from iso-blocks. Matches up very well in the phone booth. Shows good instincts on the blitz. Has been an effective pass rusher when turned loose. Is tough and relentless. A leader and high-character person with good intelligence and the mental capacity to pick schemes up quickly. Also has a great makeup for special teams in the NFL.

    Weaknesses: Possesses marginal speed and below average athletic ability. He is stiff in the hips and loses too much in transition. Has decent range vs. the run in college and will be nothing more than a tackle-to-tackle run plugger in the NFL. He is too much of a straight-line player. Will have trouble adjusting in space vs. quicker and shiftier backs. He lacks ideal COD skills. Has limited range in zone coverage. Will be a liability vs. most NFL RB's man-to-man. Does not show good ball skills in coverage and has never been a big playmaker in that facet. Durability is a minor concern after offseason knee surgery prior to senior year (2005).

    Overall: Schlegel began his collegiate career at Air Force. He started six of the 10 games that he played as a true freshman in 2001. He then finished with 116 tackles as a captain and fulltime starter during his sophomore season in 2002, earning first-team All-MWC honors. He transferred to Ohio State in 2003 and sat out that season due to NCAA transfer rules. He started eight of the 12 games he played in for the Buckeyes in 2004 and finished with 84 tackles, 10.5 TFL and 3.5 sacks. Schlegel started all 12 games as a senior in 2005 and finished second on the team with 82 tackles, including seven TFL and two sacks. Schlegel is a big, powerful, tough and aggressive middle linebacker prospect. He is an intelligent, disciplined and productive tackle-to-tackle run-plugger with outstanding tackling skills. However, Schlegel's lack of speed and athleticism really puts a low ceiling on his potential. He gets away with it at the collegiate level but he will have far less range versus the run in the NFL and he will be a liability in coverage. While he could possibly compete for a two-down role in the NFL, it's far more likely that Schlegel levels off as a backup ILB and special teams' contributor. Look for Schlegel to come off the 2006 draft board in the final two rounds.

    Good instincts, high character, lack of speed and athleticism.

    Sounds like the type of LB that a Belichick protege would look for.

    It was a reach, but those draft people also had Bush going 1st overall.

    yeah, but it sounds like we could have gotten the best player available in the 3rd and still drafted Schlegel in the 6th or 7th round.

    Excellent pick. Situational run stuffer who will aid Barton OR Hobson next to Vilma.

    This guy brings more than just athleticism to the field. He has ALOT of intensity and it seems like it can be very contagious. I said this in another post. Remember his name!

    This guy is a bolt of lightning, firing on all cylinders! I'm high on him, can you tell?

    Good pick!

    You love it when your team takes mediocre players 2-3 rounds before they would otherwise be selected?

    yeah i luv it too , we could have goten Giles a 1st round talent but no Mangini thinks he's so smart he looks Bilickeck players instead of good players.Those players in new England were actually it wasnt all the coaches doing and the system, tired of all this Bilicheck bullshit.

    Oh so that means every pick we make is automatically a good pick. I'm a Michigan guy, I watch a lot of OSU, Hawk stood out, Carpenter stood out. This guys absolutely ordinary. I'm having the exact same reaction I had when we took Hobson and Askew a few years ago, both were at least one round reaches, this guy is more than that.

    we have probably too many guards right now, with kendall, moore and imo, mangold filling in as backups across the middle, lg, c, rg...at least that's what randy lange told me
