2.08 LB James Laurinaitis STL

Burt the Butcher · May 15th, 2009, 04:18 PM

The FLoyds add the highly productive Laurinaitis to their defense. With outstanding instincts and awareness, Laurinaitis could play immediately as a potential first-year starter.

At least there is one marketing angle on that team....

Solid pick. Possibly the best fantasy IDP in the rookie class. Not that Curry won't be good, but it's hard to say who will get the majority of tackles...Lofa, Leroy or Curry.

I could be completely off on this one, but I think Laurinaitis is going to be a bust in the NFL. He looked to me like a product of a very good defensive system at OSU rather than a playmaker on his own. We'll see though.

I guess I need a new source for my rankings...none of my picks are making Uno Clown very happy....

Actually he's rated fairly high in all the rankings I've seen. He just happens to be a guy I think is highly overrated.

Maybe I am biased because Laurinaitis is from MN, but he has the abilities, work ethic and leadership qualities to be a great LB. I think some of the failures of previous OSU LBs have made some people doubt the numbers he put up.

He's slow, so I'm not sure I agree with the "abilities" comment. I'm not sure he can play sideline to sideline.
