as long as it says what you already believe or want to be true, then most people think its great.

system mismatch. its pretty apparent the guy is a baller, just not as a cover safety.

He turned out to be pretty awesome for the Rams. OLB seems to be his natural position.

Go ahead and name another source that analyzes football as close as ProFootballFocus.

Hint: there isn't one.

They have one, I've just never really used it. I've mainly had a picture of an Auburn player. To be honest, I can't even remember if I have a picture up right now or not. I'm on mobile.

Yea I blame the draft gurus for most of my disappointed but hell I think I wanted Trent Richardson lol then we ended up trading down and back up all in all we got Barron at 7 and Martin at 31 so I was pretty excited esp after watching him at bama then hearing this

"Boy, is this a solid pick. I love this kid because his floor and ceiling are the same thing. His ceiling is to be a Pro Bowl safety; his floor is to be a Pro Bowl safety. That's how good this young man is. This is going to be a good football team next year."

Mark Barron was always a big-bodied player that thrived in tackling and struggled more so in coverage. Linebacker was an easy adjustment for him due to the above. Kind of like Alec Ogletree, Ray-Ray Armstrong, Daren Bates, Su'a Cravens (might be drafted as a linebacker), Deone Buchannon and others.

There's a lot of talk of the "bigger" safeties transitioning to linebacker in the NFL to put more athletic players on the field to counter the passing attack the league has gone to.

I think Landon Collins would be another good one. I think he'd be better at linebacker than safety.

Henry has size & vision but limited lateral quickness and low initial burst. 

He's a classic 1-cut runner but his first NFL OL will make or break his career.


Solid analysis

That'd be ideal for Henry.
