Outside Linebacker | Senior | Miami (FL) Roger McIntosh
Height: 6-2 1/8 | Weight: 237 | 40-Time: 4.61

Official Bio

Strengths:
Outstanding athletic ability...Has great speed and quickness with a burst to close...Can make plays sideline-to-sideline due to his range...Playmaker who is always around the action...Good tackler...Has a knack for making stops behind the line of scrimmage...Versatile...A leader on and off the field...Hard worker who is smart and mature...Has some upside if he can stay healthy and on the field.

Weaknesses:
Inconsistent and doesn't always play up to his talent...Takes bad angles...Is only average in coverage...Needs to get stronger...Relies heavily on his athleticism to recover from mistakes...Can be too aggressive at times...Has dealt with knee, shoulder and back injuries...Does not really have a ton of starting experience.

Notes:
Could project to either outside or inside linebacker at the pro level...The recent success of other Miami linebackers such as Jonathan Vilma and D.J. Williams in the NFL sure won't hurt his cause...Seemingly has all the physical tools you look for.

Is it just me or does his weaknesses make him resemble LaVar???

He basically said that Rocky was choice number one from the beginning, and right now he is talking about "overspending" in the free agency

Can someone explain the trade-up procedure to me?

Does the trade up happen before the team trading down is on the clock? If it does, then I see how Cleveland may have stolen the guy we wanted. But, if the trade up doesn't actually occur until the team trading down is on the clock, I don't see how we got robbed.

Thanks.

You're right. There must have been reason to believe McIntosh would've been selected before 53rd overall. But this is why you have more than one guy who fits what you're trying to do right?

Why do you think we wanted D'Qwell? There has been nothing to suggest that at ALL -- this is pure rumor.

McIntosh is bigger, significantly faster and is a natural WLB, which we needed. While D'Qwell has spent some time on the outside, he really excelled as an ILB which we already have in Marshall.

Have some faith in the front office that they didnt just randomly trade up not knowing if their target was there.

Good point. D'Quell has excelled on the inside, which is probably where he'll play in Cleveland, whilc Mac...in a WLB. I think they got their man, no doubt.
