That's why so many of us were high on CJ Mosley going into the draft. The guy is/was a solid linebacker that could anchor that middle spot for a decade. I'm not sure on his PFF stats, Hoodoo could probably grab it.

Look at his stats this year:
49 tackles (29 solo)
1 INT
1 FF
5 PD

Too bad he was picked at 17.

We need someone that can put up numbers like that. For all that Lofton can do as a solid run stopper, he needs a partner that can be a great pass defender. Look at Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis, Lavonte David and Mason Foster (before his injury this year).

Ranked #2 overall. Struggled in pass coverage in the 1st 2 games, but has turned the corner since then.

#1 against the run, 23rd in coverage, 5th in pass rush

This sums up my thinking regarding Lofton. He isn't bad, he just isn't very good. I like how he plays the run, but he is too much a hindrance in the pass game. Plus he isn't really a play/difference maker. Solid player that requires great players around him in order to mask his weaknesses.
