BEAST!!!

We need Boggs (and Stringer) to lead this young corp of LB's. Hope EB has a monster season!

This young man LOVES to hit!

Nice, nice man and family. Sat across from them at Cracker Barrel after Homecoming game. And, as mentioned a BEAST at LB.

I am thinking Eric Boggs is a draft pick. What do others think?

According to NFL draft scout site, EB is ranked 23rd out of 147 ILB's. It's not out of the realm to think he could be selected late but I think he'd need to improve his stock with a productive 2017 (ie. 100+ tackles, TFL's and produce turnovers) while also improving his physical numbers (ie. 40, bench reps, shuttle etc...).

On average, there are 30-35 LB's taken in the draft each year but this includes OLB's and ILB's. The least number taken that I saw (on draft history) was 25 in 2013 and the most was 39 in 2010.

Grades right now are all over the board. Anywhere from middle to late rounds, to a priority free agent on Boggs. Big year, don't be shocked to see his stock rise to the top third of the draft. He has a lot of the intangibles like arm length, good hips, and coverage ability that gets overlooked sometime.

By the way, 45 days?? Can you believe that we're this close to another season of football? Can't wait!
