He has almost (ALMOST) the same weaknesses as Asante Samuel did and he was drafted in the 4th as well. And I have no problem with a differing opinion. But it has alot to do with how you present it. Look at your original post and you don't know why people are having this reaction toward you?
the only thing i dont like with lowery is the lack of speed. that's something you can't teach up. other than that i'm good. and btw i thout people said it was a point of emphasis in the draft to increase team speed (obviously gholston and keller have done that tho)????
They can have an opinion...if they know what they're talking about. You've read Lowery's negatives on ONE scouting report, and you've automatically tagged him as a bad player, and a bad pick. You can coach technique, and hopefully his hips will get quicker with a change in technique.
Lowery is probably faster then Abram Elam, David Barrett, and Hank Poteat. He doesn't have great timed speed: late 4.5s, but plays fast and he makes a lot of plays on defense.
He'd play inside linebacker if the Jets drafted him. Henderson would be an awesome pick in the 5th round though...
I like the Torain pick for DEN. He can produce but it was the constant injuries which hurt him throughout his collegiate career. He carried that ASU offense alot of times though when he could play.
I don't know if he would be considered a reach here due to his injuries last year but I would like to pick up Marcus Monk for a big redzone target.
Monk would be nice. With him and Keller, we no longer have to watch those ill-fated fade routes that never work.
Why do you want the safety from Army? because they are interviewing him? There are better players available.
Here are some nice options: Erin Henderson ILB Ali Highsmith ILB Jonathan Goff ILB Jameel McClain ILB Carl Nicks OL Bradnon Keith OL Kirk Barton OL Roy Schuenning OL Kerry Brown OL Marcus Dixon DL Ahtyba Rubin NT
