re: Kolaj Cobbins… what am I missing here??

The response he gave was the correct answer to the op. No need to be a dick because you disagree. He's less than 6'3, nowhere near bulky enough to play hand down and lacks the ability to play in space to be a LB. Almost to a tee what has been the evaluation from anyone that matters, even LSU insiders. Does it mean he sucks and won't pan out? Of course not but those are the reasons the rankings don't match the tape. Marcel Brooks, Lorenzo Phillips, Phillip Webb are all examples of kids who were too small to play hand down, not agile enough to play in space basically making them situational players(in Brooks case) at best. All had better physical tools at their disposal. Fortunately for kids like him, football has become as specialized and as situational as baseball with pitching, and basketball with the 3 and D guys. Hopefully Cobbins can find his role.
