NY Giants' 2013 NFL Draft Profile: Alec Ogletree

Ogletree is so explosive. There aren't many LBs like him. From the tape I've seen he has long arms, hits hard, and is a good tackler. Reese likes athletes and this is his type of pick. I feel like his stock will raise before the draft and will be drafted before #19 :/.

Yes, nowadays I'm taking a guy like him that's slightly average against the run,than a dime a dozen LB thats decent against the run but can't cover to save his life & offers nothing sideline to sideline

Exactly.. Not to mention, its not like hes a clown against the run.. He makes a ton of plays against the run using his speed and athletic ability, more then his ability to disengage.. Add in hes been a Safety, for added perspective on the football field, and the fact that such a team loaded with defensive prospects clearly got better when he returned, and its tough to not love em, with all his other skills as well..

Thats litteraly the only knock on em.. When u have only one weakness , ur a super prospect in my opinion...

The worst thing that happens is he is an OLB

Exactly, u can add versatility to his resume. Worst case he goes outside with ability to step in the middle in a pinch.. The guys a great prospect.. I think a stellar LB that can do multiple things will help the Dline and Secondary more then people realize.. Having someone to cover the middle will keep ball in opposing QB's hands from time to time for added second or 2, which will get us more sacks..
