re: Grant Delpit falling out of the 1st round????

One thing that I saw was that he often dove at the ball carrier’s knees or at the highest his upper thighs.
I thought he was scared off getting called for targeting or something. He never stick his shoulder pads in the person’s guts or just ran over them with a full speed hit tearing their heads off.
I don’t know if he didn’t want to get a penalty called on him or if he was gun-shy after getting his arse knocked off a few times. Maybe he was trying to make a tackle without taking a hit himself? I don’t know.
What he didn’t do is deliver those hits that LSU safeties are known for. Those hits where a receiver won’t catch another pass after being skull-drug.
The kind of hits where receivers will not cross the middle of the field without being scared to death.
He never made those LaRon Landry kind of massive hits.
