Mel Kiper has Damone Clark as his 9th ranked draft eligible inside linebacker

they gone

9th on the team maybe

It's just proof he hasnt re evaluated recently

Makes NO sense to me, but Kiper is a certified expert.

He has good physical traits. That is probably as important for NFL scouts as college production. They figure they can teach a player to how to play, read keys, etc. They can't teach him how to be 6'3 245 with decent speed.

Clark was a solid player last season. He's been awful this season. What's the more likely reason for that? He all of a sudden forgot how to play football and became physically weaker in one season? Or, whatever the coaches are asking him to do isn't working and/or he's just not grasping what he's being asked to do?

Who does he think is a better WR than chase? Devonta Smith? Jalen Waddle?

This is true.

And he's a great kid/team leader type that coaches want in their locker room.

shite, we've had several formally VERY good players look average to shitty in this defense (e.g. Stevens).

That's what I be sayin'!!!

Granted, he does indeed have a real problem engaging and defeating blocks. I do believe part of that problem is ALSO a result of confusion or otherwise being in the wrong place. But only a minority, most of that is on him, his physicality and mentality. I see him run around, or try to run around, blocks way to often. Sometimes it is because he's got no chance to engage and make a play. Sometimes with no obvious explanation.
