Which linebacker will be drafted higher?

Question

Going on their past three years, Rey Maualuga or James Laurinaitis?

Also, give me a rough draft pick for both of them.

Answer 1

i think laurinaitis

there both pretty good backers and will prob end up in the 1st round

but laurinaitis looks like a more complete linebacker and probrably sets him apart from rey by his speed

but they are close

6-3 245 isnt undersized

Answer 2

Both will be top ten picks, but it just depends on the combines. Guys like that can make a big jump, or big drop, when they are measured by the scouts. Look at Gholsten. He ran a 4.6 and did 34 reps, so his stock jumped 10 places.

James 5 and Ray 10-15 as it stands. Ray might have more potential, but he doesn't always play to it. Also, James never had a Sedrick Ellis in front of him to help open things up.

Answer 3

Rey Maualuga of course. He plays in the Pac-10 which is known for its incredible offenses. James Laurinaitis is an undersized linebacker who gets lots tackles because he plays in the weak Big Ten where players are slow.

Answer 4

I say Ray just because he is from USC and James is from OSU and has lost a BCS 2 straight years and also people probably like his big hittin ability but i do think bot will be top ten and james laurinitas will have a better career for his smarts and potential go bucks.

Answer 5

Laurinaitis,  the NFL is becoming a league dominated by speed.
