He's large, athletic and controls defenders at the line of scrimmage or easily annihilates opponents blocking in motion. Holy shit are you serious? Cooper is a real deal bad man as a prospect...So was Decastro Players wise he did a good job. I was really high on him if he would have come out this year. _________________

Next year's first rounder almost a lock to be a LB... probably a pass rusher or an ILB who has a multiple-skill set including pass rush.
I love honey badger, too. It would be a freaking dream to have Troy + Mattieu for as long as that would last. Holy crap, that would be fun.

Having both would be the ultimate boom or bust secondary. I could see honey badger coming in playing nickel cb (possible eventual starter)/backup ss. Not sure if he can be disciplined the way we need our FS to be. _________________

Did anyone notice that Honey Badger kind of got torched in the championship game?

Foote and Clark are the most glaring weaknesses IMO. One of Harrison, Worilds or Carter should show they're capable of handling the spot opposite Woodley in '13 and beyond. Guard could get a look, maybe RB, depending on Mendenhall contract/Dwyer's performance. WR, depending on Wallace's contract plus Sanders' performance. Confident CB won't need to be addressed early.
As it stands, Te'o in the 1st w/ a FS in the second would be ideal. Especially considering the depth of the upcoming safety class. Should be able to get solid value (huge extrapolation there).

Honey Badger as a pro prospect is massively overrated. He won't go in round 1.

I kinda agree with B2B. However I believe that our safeties need depth. Even Mundy is 27 right now. [28 by next season] Who else do we really have "proven" behind Mundy? Cro-Smith hasn't seen a whole lot PT yet and is still an unproven player; good ST'er. Troy and Ryan are into their 30's. I guess we'll have to wait and see how Myron Rolle or Robert Golden works out. We need to address safety going forward just as much as LB'er IMO. That said I'd love to see Manti Teo fall to us much the way DeCastro did.  _________________ Honor the Fallen. http://www.militarytimes.com/valor/

Honey Badger is a nickel/special teams prospect, 2nd round at best...
