Lawson Vs Wimbley

[r0b81]

Who do you guys think will make the better Transition to OLB in the Pros.

[MasterShake]

Really, REALLY tough to tell without evaluating them firsthand....

from what I hear Wimbley will, but who knows....

[SBbound49ers]

I didnt get to really watch either player that much but I feel like Lawson will be a solid starter but I have a bad feeling about Wimbley.

[Imtharealist]

Personally I say Lawson, I just think his speed and size at the OLB position gives his intangibles a real chance to shine. Possibly fulfill the same role JP played with us but better.

:headbang: LB-Bobby Carpenter at 22 :headbang:

Dont some people see him as being an ILB?

He is a prototypical OLB in the 3-4, but he can shift inside too....I certainly wouldn't mind drafting Carpenter at 22.

Why? I havent heard much about Wimbley.

[bigkev401]

i feel lawson will. and if he doesnt do well at OLB, we can always keep him at DE. he is a force to be wreckoned with at DE.

But I doubt Lawson could play 3-4 DE, so he would need to be a LB. He is at 233-241 right now, and i doubt he would be able to bulk up to 285+, especially without loosing his speed, which he relies on heavily.

lawson.

[livndiea9er]

I love Wimbley, but forget it he'll be long gone by 22, so Lawson is hopefully our man!

[9erMan]

Manny Lawson. He won't be there at 22 though. If he is :eek: :wow: :headbang:

The Browns or Cowboys will proably take Wimbley.

[ricekobe]

Would prefer Lawson but if we landed Wimbley I would have no problem with that.

Isnt Wimbley slow?

[Zen]

Wimbley is a high motor guy, the LB were the strength of FSU.

[DjJustiz]

they mentioned on sirius that lawson's legs were skinny....i guess that wouldnt be good for the 3-4 or sumn like that

[comkilflies]

Didnt Manny Lawson play with Mario Williams?....

[brs14ku]

Wimbley won't fall to 22 and Lawson will be a better OLB anyway. SPEED:cop:

[brs14ku]

Didnt Manny Lawson play with Mario Williams?....
Yes he did.

[comkilflies]

only reason i ask is cuz couldnt he have benefited from the beast that is super mario?

[brs14ku]

True, but he is ridiculously fast anyway. Intriguing thought though.

[bleedred]

Wimbley and Lawson both have tremendous upside. I like Lawson's speed and quickness. Wimbley has one of those mean streaks and a nonstop motor. He is just relentless on plays. I give Wimbley the slight edge. I think he will be better all around, but I still think Manny will make a great pass rusher.

I dont know much about Wimbley, but from what you said sounds like he could be a beast.

Hes not skinny, hes lean. Hes 6'6 and athletic. He has a solid build to him but will more than likely add 15 or 20 pounds over the next few months.

[SBbound49ers]

He played DE at FSU. Maybe you're thinking of Ernie Sims whos a high energy flying all over the place type player.

[49ers4life226]

Wimbley all the way
