I had made a Zach/Mo comparison in a post in the 347 Club a few days ago along similar lines. I find that the great players aren't always the guy with every great measurable. It's often the guys witha few elite, relevant traits that have the football IQ to use those traits to their best advantage.Zach was a six rounder because of his size. 5'11.They had to notice his tackling in college. Ray Lewis went in the 1st round that year I believe at 6'4 260. Lewis was a true beast but Zach wasn't much of a drop-off from Lewis.
JT went in the third round.
There is value in every round.
Just gotta get lucky and hope the player can make the transition from college to the pros.
Good coaching
Healthy diet
No off field issues
Etc
That and more going on that Depend on the players outcome in the nfl.
Zach went later b/c of his size but he had elite quickness, strength (for an ILB) and an elite football IQ. His ability to understand how to use those traits is what made him great. Mo also had elite quickness and elite strength/explosiveness (vertical and broad jump), but went later due to size. (It wasn't really size as much as length/height. His weight is fine). His college tape shows great football IQ. It's why he was so productive. If he can duplicate that level of football IQ at the pro level then he has pro bowl potential.
