Te'o is a good fit in any defense, he could play in a 3-4 or 4-3, which Rex has been using at diffferent times during every game this season. Any team passing him up for another LB in this draft is insane.
I think Damontre Moore is over rated as well but Werner is a Rex player. Hell if he's there at 9 he's our pick because he's bad ass and relentless. He can rush standing up and should be serviceable in coverage
Do me a favor, look up Moore's stats and notice how productive of a player he has been. Moore isn't lazy, works hard and is a smart football player.
I said he's over rated not that he sucks, for example I wouldn't pick him in the top 10 I dont think he's ever going to be elite. While I think Werner has a better chance at being an Elite, All-Pro talent. Moore is a guy I'd choose late in the 1st, he's a safe pick with little risk involved which we do need more of but Werner's upside may be too much to pass up
David Harris,Demario Davis and Jarvis Jones looks like a damn good LB depth chart. 1 Veteran 2 Promising players that can play at a high level
I didn't say you thought he sucks. But saying Moore is overrated when he's a top 5 player is impossible. Now if you felt this way 2 months ago, i could understand you POV, but things have changed, Moore is an incredible talent. Moore has dominated his position and is probably the top pass rusher the season. his stock has risen very quickly, but it is well desered.
Moore's 2012 stats: 80 tackles, 20 for a loss, 12.5 sacks Excellent #s playing in the SEC. Mingo couldn't sniff his jockstrap this year.
Guy is a monster!!! What impressed me the most is the play against Mississippi State when he ran down the WR with about a 20 yard head start. Doubt the Jets land him but he would be my #1 wish.
Agreed I just think he's going to be over drafted due to the weakness of this draft. He's a safe pick, however, which is something this team needs more of. But if we have the choice between Moore, Werner, Jones or Te'O I think would be the last guy I choose, I'd probably trade back before choosing Moore or Te'O
jets should switch to a 4-3 defense with coples pouha devito wilkerson as the starters on Dline Davis Harris and Werner/Mingo/etc as the starter on LB
I just don't believe in using a top-10 pick on an inside linebacker unless he's a truly franchise-defining player. While Te'o is very good, I just don't believe that he's that guy. If Jones drops to the Jets, however, then he'd be an absolute no-brainer.
I guess you haven't seen Te'o play too much. He one of the most dominating defensive player's in College football in at least a decade.
