I admittedly don't spend very much time watching college ball, so my opinion is likely to be almost always wrong on these guys coming out of the draft. That being said, I didn't like the idea of drafting a smallish but fast LB, mostly because I usually don't like the idea of drafting smaller players (I hated when the team initially picked MJD, for example, even though I knew I whiffed on that one by the end of his first preseason), but he has certainly shut me up, and fast. I was extremely impressed with his play and enthusiasm on Thursday. The guy obviously loves the game, and I'm happy he's on our team.


In the first few games Telvin played in, he looked pretty bad to be honest. I don't remember when the turning point was, but the coaches have already developed the heck out of this guy. I'm very happy to eat crow for not wanting Telvin Smith when we drafted him, and I'm real excited to see him play next season.
