MLB's - Curtis Lofton - field mouse

Guys from what i've seen the guy can play at this level and be a impact player. But he may be a reach in the top 20 for a MLBer. He just doesn't have the sand to stand up at MLBer unless he's free to roam with a couple of 330# DT's in front keeping him clean.
He'd be great in the right system. Maybe a SS if he dropped to 225 and ran a 4.5 flat. There he could dominate.

Doesn't have the SAND? What does that mean? What are you basing his lack of SAND on? His size? He's bigger than Lofa Tatupu. He's an inch shorter and the same weight as Patrick Willis and Will Witherspoon. An inch shorter than Ray Lewis and only 2 inches shorter than Demeco Ryans and a few pounds heavier. You don't need to be 6'4 to play MLB. Sam Mills, anyone? Mike Singletary? Take the compact guy; they get low and hit like a wrecking ball. I've only seen a few OU games this season and that highlight reel, but he's definitely thrown himself into the mix.

Honestly, I'm tired of lackluster LB play and lack of leadership on our D and I hate not being able to anchor my fantasy team with a Saints IDP :hihi:. If Phillips and Ellis are gone and this guy tests well at his workouts and shows a high football IQ, I have no problem "reaching" for him at #10. Our defence is absolute garbage; let's fix it. In hindsight, would Lofa Tatupu, Demeco Ryans or David Harris not be worthy of top-10 picks? How about Ray Lewis, who was considered "undersized" at Miami?
