Looks to be a ST player, could be a 3rd down pass rushing DE.

Overview

Lewis is an early-entry junior who will likely be moved back to his more natural position of outside linebacker. He played defensive end his last two years, and his frame bodes well for a move. He was a productive player for the Sooners who could even make the extreme jump from end to outside linebacker in a 4-3 scheme, considering that rushing the passer is not a key asset in his arsenal. He has fourth- or fifth-round value and should make early contributions on special teams.
Analysis
Strengths
Lewis is a strong player against the run and can hold the edge well despite often giving up 50 pounds. He has strong arms to shed blocks and is very good defending the run; Lewis can engage, read, shed and move toward the ball with ease and has a burst. He has the speed to run down ball carriers to the outside and is a good striker once he gets there. He is a tireless pass rusher who relies more on will than technique. He is active in the box and has some positional versatility.
Weaknesses
Lewis can hesitate at times when reacting to the pass and will struggle early in zone due to poor recognition and hips. He did not get many opportunities to cover downfield in college -- he was tasked more with mauling at the line. He has decent flexibility but struggles to reset his weight after dropping into the flats, and doesn't have the footwork to gather himself when covering running backs. He is a slow-twitched athlete who could struggle working against more explosive players.

Lewis played inside, outside, and even 5-technique at times. Very versatile guy.

He wont play along the line in the NFL. OLB...gotta be.

No 5th rounder for us, right?

Marty May loves him some injured players.

from OKL

 

[wheels002]

I swear the player I thought we would pick has gone the pick right after ours.

Sam Linebacker like J Pete was...Schwartz loves size on the edge

 

[mhughes0021]

Crick next....always one of the guys we want the following pick

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Thanks... I just looked it up.

#158, #196, #219 and #230

What QB do you guys think we draft? If we do

 

[kingofdetroit57]

I don't think we do. I think we'll grab a QB off the scrap heap if need be.

 

[Monster]

back to back years with knee injuries....we love those guys!

why should we draft players that don't have injury problems? If we did that, we might win a few more games each year. Who really wants something like that?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I don't think we do. I think we'll grab a QB off the scrap heap if need be.

We have 2 7th round picks so maybe then?

What QB do you guys think we draft? If we do

why you have a hard on for a QB baffles me....like I said b4 , Linehan gives 75% of the reps to Staff and then Hill has to get his...they aren't into developing a QB.

I'd look for a guy like Beck..when the Skins cut him

 

[zoombabyzoom]

I just remember hearing about Mayhew/Schwartz talking about probably drafting their 3rd stringer. So I brought the question up, my bad.... damn

you may get one , Im just pointing out they never gave Stanton snaps and he never dressed all year....3rd QB isn't their fancy.
