Brooks has the potential to play inside or outside linebacker in the NFL and can also be effective when turned loose off the edge on obvious passing downs. Unfortunately, Brooks has some major "red flags" as a pro prospect, including character, work ethic and durability. In our opinion, Brooks is too risky to consider in the first round but too talented to pass up in the third round.
I will take a shot in the sixth round (and pray this turns out better then the Tony Hollings debacle in the Frenzy.

At least you didn't blow a 2nd rounder this time!
A 6th is well worth the risk IMO. With Odell Thurman's stupidity, I thought about targeting Brooks, but felt I should stick to me word and not put in a bid.
