More I watch on this guy the more I like him. Natural tackler in space, always wraps the players legs. He has good pass coverage, good lateral movement, decent ball skills

I like a lot too. He is a beast, lays the wood and does everything you said regarding tackling. Have to remember you are probably watching highlight tapes though. They don't show too much pass coverage, because everything I have read on him states he is a big liability in man situations.

The kid is definitely a beast with a nose for the ball though. I wouldn't have a problem taking him there if they feel he will be fine on D given his shortcomings.

After looking at all the main ILB guys I feel that Kendricks is definitely the best in coverage, anthony isn't bad himself. But neither lay the wood like Perryman or Mckinney do.

Worry about how physical Kendricks is though. Didn't miss tackles, but I wonder if some of the softer wrap up tackles he had would work against an NFL back. Anthony just appears to play slow at times. I am really curious to see what order these guys fall in.
