Yep forgot about Mike Hull as well...

Do you know who led college football in missed tackles?

Ben Heeney.

He overruns more plays than a drunk Shakespeare in a dumptruck with no brakes.

Dawson ran much better 40 times at his pro dag

No, I am not.

He's a ****ing fat **** at a mere 230 lb.

What do you think he weighs when he drops the 25 lbs. of lard that he was sporting at the Combine?

And when he's a mere 230 lbs. (albeit a doughnut eating fat mother****er at 230 lbs.), the corpulent little butterball ran a 40 that competed with the best...wait for it...offensive linemen.

He's 6'0", 31.5" arms and isn't fast. (Not to mention the 28" vertical that couldn't get his fat ass over a curb.)

Oh, and in the month he had to correct the massive shitfest he dumped all over Indianapolis to his Pro Day? He ran an absolutely BLAZING 4.8. He's ****ing slow. And small. And short. And did I say ****ing slow? He's that too.

What the **** do you think he's going to do in a 34?

What did he do on the field?

College versus the NFL. (And in Bumpus' scheme that allows a lot of production from the ILB position.)

He doesn't have the tools to play in the pros at the level people saw of him in college.

FWIW l, the same thing was said about chris Borland l, iirc.

I just hate overlooking good football players because of what they do in shorts.

Not that he's the end-all/be-all of player evaluations, but I believe Mayock has Dawson rated as his top ILB. Doubt he's as horrid as some suggest.

But you can get burned if you don't respect what they do in shorts because everyone in the NFL is fast.

To get on the field in the NFL... you have to show you aren't a liability, first and foremost. That will be tough given his lacking measurables.

Not too many guys like Tamba Hali (that flat out overwork you) make it...

Gil Brandt timed him at 4.78 and 4.82 at his pro day.

I hate to side with Sac....

I just don't put as much stick into underwear olympics as I do what the guy does in pads.

Dawson was a great player on the field at Tcu. He may not translate, but you can't measure instincts etc in shorts.

Right, but good quarterbacks know when an ILB that's really slow is on the field.

He will get isolated at the next level and doesn't gave the physical tools to match up. I'd take a swing in the mid rounds on him, but not with a high pick.

Borland outweighed Dawson by 15 pounds on a one inch shorter frame and still posted a faster Combine 40.

Not worried about Dawson's range or instincts. It's his character and preparation that teams have to take the chance on. 3rd rd for me. That's the right spot for risk/reward.

For a team needing a Will backer in a 43.

He's not playing in a 34.

Period.

Jesus ****ing Christ...
