Vilma is a MLB. He doesn't play as well out of position and he doesn't want to play OLB. Why for the Love of God do you people keep insisting on making him an OLBer???

As for Laurinitis,

He can't shed blocks/isn't physical enough to play in the middle. I think he may be a solid WLB in the NFL, but I don't think he's worth the 14th pick.

:I agree with this:

This is true. I don't care how many tackles he had in that game Lester, he gave up an easy score and that's what counts. He has been unable, IMO, to take over in big games. He can do well againt the Slow10 but shite Highsmith looked all world against tOSU.

If we pick him I'll hope for the best, just like I do with Weggie and Meech but they still arent worth the money yet.

+ A bazillion

I, for one, don't mind Laurinitis playing WLB for the Saints. I absolutely believe that it will be easier making a college player change positions because he can be taught. I wouldn't want to make a Pro Bowl MLB change positions. I'm sure someone will site somewhere where it has been done, but I think teaching a college kid to move makes more sense. However, with all that being said, no way in hell does Payton pick JL at 14.
