Won't quote the dude so those who have him on ignore can rest easy, but D4H - for all the film you apparently watch, you would make for a very poor scout. Now I know you like comparisons, so I'll share a few that I see when I think of the Vols future first-rounder.
Derek Barnett - 6'3", 265lbs. Let's compare him to some guys in the NFL.
Dwight Freeney - 6'1", 268lbs. Someone already compared him to Freeney in this thread a page earlier, and it's a pretty good comparison. Undersized, but athletic, flexible, and relentless. Oh, and btw, drafted ROUND ONE, 11TH OVERALL.
Chris Long - 6'3", 270lbs. Poor guy only got drafted 2ND OVERALL in the 2008 draft. Shame that nobody valued him enough in the draft...
Robert Quinn - 6'4", 264lbs. One of the top pass-rushers in the league. An inch taller than Barnett. ROUND ONE, 14TH OVERALL in 2011 draft.
Vic Beasley - 6'3", 246lbs. You want to talk about undersized, this dude is at least 20lbs lighter than Barnett. Almost exclusively used as a pass rusher. Drafted ROUND ONE, 8th overall in 2015 draft.
Robert Ayers - 6'3", 275lbs. One of those hard-working guys you say no scouts really care for. Great against the run, has seen his sack numbers go up every year, and oh yeah, went in the FIRST ROUND, 18TH OVERALL in the 2009 draft.
Now it's ok, I know you probably don't recognize that last one, since you're the epitome of a fair-weather fan, but Ayers is a VFL that some people like you said years ago that he'd be undersized and not worth a 1st round pick. Well, fact is- someone valued his abilities, much like the other guys listed above, and they were 1st round picks. So you keep ogling these guys that are one or two inches taller than DB. I'll smile next April/May when a team picks up Derek Barnett to be a part of their franchise...in the FIRST ROUND.
