Vander Esch doesn't have wheels.

I despise the Cowboys, but He may be the most athletic and fastest LBs in the NFL at his size!!! Guys who are 6'4" and 250-260 and can run a 4.65 in the 40yd and 4.15 in the 20yd shuttle are extremely rare. Check the combine numbers for guys that long and heavy. He's one of the best all-around LBs and sideline to sideline tackling LBs in the NFL as a rookie since taking over for Lee.

According to his NFL combine scouting report:

His strengths are speed and athleticism with fluid hips, he can cover and tackle in space.

His weakness is his inability to get through blocks at times and his speed/athleticism cause him to occasionally overrun plays.

His "wheels" are just fine.

Anyway, back to Devin White and Greedy. I hope they both go to historically successful franchises who are having a down year due to circumstances beyond the control of the coaches or personnel. I think San Fran would be a perfect fit for Devin White based on the fact that they finally cut ties with the head case Reuben Foster. They need a LB that has a good character and can play, and they may be able to trade down a few spots from 3 to get him because 3 might be a little to early. I would definitely NOT pass on Devin White. He's only been truly learning the position for 3 years, and his ceiling based on athleticism is sky high.
