He's an ILB. But even if he was an OLB, just because White and Jackson are on our roster, doesn't mean they have any talent...which they don't.

Also, look at every good drafting team in the NFL. Position is close to irrelivant when drafting. The giants took Pierre-Paul to rush the passer when they already had Osi, Tuck, Kiwanuka, Canty, and Toleffson. I think that pick panned out.

You gotta think that the plan for Robinson is to beef him up and make him an ILB.

He's too slow to be an OLB or safety.

I just can't get enough of that Cars.com commercial (sarcasm)

Everything I read says his speed is his biggest asset.

[CapitalDefense]

Well I am off to start my day, can't believe i waited around for some camp fodder.

if it wasn't for the RG3 trade this draft would have been a complete bust.

We got us a QB!

He isn't slow.

4.7 40 is not slow.

But Boykin was there to be had. I wonder if somebody moved on from last years's draft team.

4.79 for an olb is slow. for an ilb its average.

[JoeRedskin]

First - I am good with drafting depth and developmental guys. I disagree that Jackson and White lack talent - I thought they flashed well when playing. It is b/c we have young depth at the OLB position that I wonder going for even more of it when we could certainly use some youth & developmental players at the ILB position. If this guy is going for ILB - fine. Just seems a little light for the job. A real project - even more so than Riley.

BUT, again, after last year's draft, I am willing to cut the FO a lot of slack.

[Big C]

every scouting report ive read has said hes very athletic and fast.

Philadelphia always draft s we'll

[12thMan]

Haslett already told Keenan Robinson he'll play ILB. He also played with Rak and they still train from time to time. I think it's a really good fit.

[WilbursHomie]

If he was drafted to play inside, It looks a lot better.
