re: Dylan Moses Got All the Hype

Devin White is a much better inside linebacker who can find the ball faster and more consistently than Moses and can usually shed/avoid blocks in doing so (I have seen him get consumed by blockers when they're able to get to him quickly)

I agree with your parenthetical. Devin White is physically the ideal LB (I guess one could ask for more height), and he has great character. He is a winner. The knock against DW, imo, is that he gets caught in traffic. His ability to read the offensive line and beat them to the punch is not good. He has not been playing LB that long, so maybe he will improve this, but for now, I don’t think he is an instinctual player.

Someone posted about DW recently that his physical ability to matchup with the Kamaras of the NFL, while still being a physical run-stopper, is rare. These attributes will serve him a lot better in the NFL than in college.
