James Laurinaitis cut

This is someone who can play some Mlb, Only 29 won't be 30 until Dec 3rd, never missed a game in 7 years.

852 Tackles
16.5 Sacks, Not much Blitzing in the Rams Scheme.
10 Int

Plus Me being an Ohio State Fan , I Was Very Happy when I heard the News.

He wasn't the only one the Rams cut.

Gotta love a team that knows when it's time to move on and gets to it, as opposed to a team like the Fins, who decide instead to give extensions to aging players coming off injury and re-sign their impending FAs even when they can't afford to.

TWO Buckeye fans here?!?! Well that's it then, I'll have to leave this place now One was bad enough

Not a fan.

My money says he's a Patriot but we shall see.

Omar is banging the table for Scooby in the second round but I'm thinking he's Offerdahl 2.0 with respect to injuries.

Especially after Mayo just retired.

I'd love to bring in a veteran to fill that void. Misi is a mess wherever he is. No instincts for the position. Scooby in round 2, sign me up. I'd take that. Knee injuries happen. I have a meniscus tear. Did it water skiing. Things happen, it's not that big of a deal. What about two rookies at LB? They would grow together and be formidable in the future. Give Laurinaitis a 3 year deal while the rookies, especially MLB learn the position.

This article says Scooby is the next Zach Thomas.

With the talent that will be on the board early in round two there is no way I draft Scooby Wright. If he is there in round 3 I'd consider it.

depending on the cobine he might go higher than the 3rd round. I say he goes low 1st to mid 2nd round.

So many prospects this draft in our areas of need. We can most certainly get a quality pass rusher and a LB IN THIS DRAFT BUT WE NEED TO GET MORE PICKS

More INTs than any other LB in Fins history and the all-time Fins leader in pick sixes. There will literally never be another like him. (Sniffs.)
