Rey is also John Gruden's favourite player in the draft ( yes, he tends to LOVE lots of players ) , if he sniffs 25 I think this regime is all over him like a south florida rain ...

Please Sir , may I have some more ?
As always , gr8ly appreciated :) -

did you just mention wonderlick? and "slowish" 40?
Rey is a great ILB, yes he overpersues sometimes, but Crowder overpersues as well. imagine having Crowder, but hits harder, causes many more turnovers and is better at getting to the QB...
sign me up if hes there :hump: -

The risk/reward at 25 is signifigantly less that say at 10 to 15 . Miami will have to make the determination of course if they feel the positives outweigh the negatives , the game changing plays overide the occasional (?) out of postion ones.
Still , I think at 25 Miami would seriously , seriously think of making Rey a Dolphin.MrClean likes this. -

He will be a very good player, no doubt in my mind. Granted LB's are not my expertise.....I usually watch the cheerleaders.padre31 likes this. -
MLB's without good supporting casts in the NFL only see their negatives magnified unless they are off the charts good like P Willis. -
All I want to know is, when a scout who would not be named said the following...
Pat Kirwan also alluded to a GM he knows talking to him about a defensive player. He asked the player in interviews to describe the defense he played in, and he couldn't. He didn't know anyone else's assignments. The GM said they initially had a very high grade on the kid but now they consider him undraftable.
I'm not saying those stories are about Rey Maualuga, in fact I think they could be two different players. I'm saying it scares me that I can't say with certainty that they are not about Rey Maualuga.
Could be talking about Brian Orakpo or Everette Brown...Vontae Davis...who knows.dolfan22 and Nappy Roots like this. -
Orakpo and Brown likely would have slid. It's either Davis or Maualuga. If I know USC it's the latter guy.
-
It would surprise me if Kirwan was talking about Rey. As the middle linebacker of that defense he would probably find it impossible to even do his job if he didn't know other peoples' assignments.
BUT, that first quote from the anonymous scout...boy it would not surprise me at all if that was about Rey.
I think Vontae Davis is a likely suspect...for either quote. -
FWIW, I doubt it was Rey-Rey, he didn't even have an agent at the Senior Bowl so the money is not really the issue with him, I'd bet it was a underclassman who came out..maybe Maybin? -
The only place he is dropping in value, realistically is in this forum though, because most people I know are pretty high on him. It is a normal evolution.MrClean likes this. -
When a guy scores higher on the Wonderlic, I try to take that with a little more of a grain of salt simply because he can be trained to score high. But when a guy scores a 12? I don't know about that. At least, I don't know about it for certain positions. Mis-diagnosing plays and mis-firing on them was already an open question mark for him. I think scoring high in the wonderlic would have alleviated some of that criticism. A missed opportunity. -
BTW I don't believe that is something Rey Rey would have said...but someone else might have believed it was reportedly said by him...:shifty::lol: -
What it does show is he didn't even bother to fake it and prep for the test. -
im not sure the break down, but the a person with average smarts scores 20 on average. the top 3 average scorers of the test are 1. OT 2. OC 3. QB. all the way to 7 is the LB position with an average of 19. only CB, WR, FB and RB scores lower.
btw, i think Rey scored a 15, not 12... -
-
TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't Maybin who didn't know what anyone else was doing. It's not like he had a lot of experience out there and he really was just keying on the QB all the time. -
i would like to believe that we would like a MLB with the capacity to study film, break down formations, and decipher changes enough to be the captain on the field. how that relates to the Wonderlic, i am not fully sure -- but would have to believe like CK says, that it is quite related.
i'm just not sure that any MLBs left @ 25 will be worth a 1st rd selection. (are there more than 2 worth selection in the 1st rd) No doubt we still need an upgrade there, i just don't believe the value will warrant the pick, so we will go with OLB or CB for 1 & 2a. -
