Why does everyone automatically assume Beckwith is gonna go pro? He's a beast, but has a long way to go to be an nfl lb. Very poor in coverage. Bad angles and missed tackles. The kid is still learning the position.

Actually Beckwith is a lot closer to NFL ready than you think, plus he has prototypical size and the speed the NFL covets. I remember how Minter exploded from year one starting, to year 2, and I see similar happening for Beckwith. Beckwith was also much more productive in 6 starts (all against power 5 opponents) as a true sophomore than Minter in 11 starts as a redshirt sophomore.

Beckwith is going pro at seasons end because he weighs 250 lbs, can run and will be all SEC as he shoots up the draft boards faster than a gram of heroin going up Keith Richards arse. I'll put money he is a 1st rounder with LSU being forced into a 3-4 next year. It's Steeles plan to move into a 3-4 but I don't know if he is ready to make the jump so soon with our personnel.

Minter's 2011 was a lot better than Beckwith's 2014. I don't care what the stats say; Minter was killing it in the back half of the year.

Minter had an elite dline in front of him, though, so it's hard to compare.
