Quote:I am also a huge fan of the MLB from Temple. He is undersized but plays with a ton of heart and is a tackling machine. Would be a great 4th rd pickup.

 

I also like Tyler Matakevich he is very GOOD but not very FAST. 

 

If you look at the Senior Bowl it has great examples of the good and the bad with him.

    If you start watching at 20:30 he has 4 straight tackles

20:30 Solid

21:14 Not Solid

21:56 Ankle

22:40 The Ole Wrap and Drag

         Then at 24:00 he got beat to the corner by Deandre Washington.

 

He was NOT blowing people up on these plays but he made the stops. Four straight tackles playing against quality players where he wasn't able to study the tendencies of his opponents confirms to me that he understands the game and has good instincts.

 

He and Scooby Wright III are almost the same player.

 

Having either of those two players would be good but do we need more speed than these guys offer at the LB position?
