I don't understand why some people are down on Connor...is it a Big Ten thing? He's a better backer than Posluszny, IMO, definitely more mobile.

Well, Connor looked horrible in the senior bowl and was never a top 10 prospect
There are some on this board who can't objectively observe players and understand that positions need certain attributes.
connor was in on tackles and in the hole and Rivers was around tackles and didn't do diddly. If anyone looked horrible in the game it was Rivers. Connors looked far better. Just my opinion but take your heads out of the rear ends of draft experts and make decisions based off of play and not off of someone elses comments.
If you can honestly say Rivers performed better than Connor is this game then there is nothing anyone can say to convince you otherwise...
Alot of people who watched the game have reported Conners looked weak and got knocked on his butt several times. So whos telling the truth?
For everyone person who says Connnor is "weak" you have another person saying he is "strong." It all depends on what the poster views as traits in a Lb.
I watched the game twice and there are many times where Connor smashed the hole and either made a tackle or caused a pile up. I am going to re-watch the game a third time and key on Rivers and Connor and I will take another look, an objective look that is.
I am all for the Saints getting something worth while for their ten pick. I don't care who it is as long as it is a player and not someone who has the look but actually makes plays!
I totally agree with you, NUSaintsfan.....I admit I haven't seen the game, and can't comment on his play, but here I'm hearing conflicting reports about his play.....that's why I listen to what Pat Kirwan said about him.....and I like what I hear, especially that it looks like Connor is the best LB in this year's draft....of course is still early.
If Connors is the best LB in the draft this year, then it is probably a weak LB draft. I didn't think he was SPECTACULAR, but thought he was solid. I don't view him as the second coming of Urlacher, which I would expect for a #10 pick. I wouldn't think he would be a reach in the 15-20 pick range... I would have to say though that I didn't see any other linebackers push themselves up to the #10 position. Ali Highsmith looked decent, but I think he is a Cover-2 linebacker in the Cato June mold.
Sedrick Ellis on the the other hand looked like the second coming of Warren Sapp. Seriously. He was a monster out there. Heck I really liked Trevor Laws too. I wouldn't mind picking up Trevor Laws with our 2nd round pick even if we pick up Sedrick Ellis with our first round pick. Both of our DT positions need some kick butt youth.
thank you!!!!! especially at 10. Poz went in the second and we have people wanting to take him at 10? i don't get how this is smart draft etiquette? especially how deep lbs are this year.
