He is a Senior and will our Coachs be coaching him in the senior Bowl because if they do i really hope they take a long hard look at him he is going to be a monster ILB i saw Trade down in the first round Draft Jerry Hughes for OLB collect a couple 2 second round picks then draft this kid in the second round. 6'2 258 pounds this would be perfect to build our Defense around J. Hughes, M. Johnson, V. Davis, and S. Smith

I like Micah a lot. If McClain is unavailable at #12, then I hope we can snag this guy in the 3rd, although he may not make it to our pick then. Great prospect IMO.

the guy is a second round pick easy IMO that why i want to trade down in the first and draft Jerry hughes or the best OLB aviable then get the be WR still on the board with our first second round pick then draft Johnson with our 2 second round pick

He actually isn't a 2nd round pick easy. He's a late 2nd rounder/early 3rd imo. That being said I would love Micah Johnson if we don't land McClain.
 
micah johnson's been dinged up all season...i can see his stock taking a hit as a result...

we'll see how healthy he is at the senior bowl coming up...right now i have a 3rd round grade on him due to the injuries
 
Idk where this idea came that people would trade a 2 to move up a few slots. They wont. not to 12.
 
i have always thought he was a good player at Kentucky, not sure he makes it to the third
 
it's amazing that it takes 5 scouting posts before i read the word "injury". way late 2nd to mid 3rd.
 
How good is he in coverage? I thought he had issues with athleticism and moving in space? Everything I have read about him has him pegged in round 3.
 
all i know is we need 2 stud lb's in the draft, the same way we got 2 cbs

That, too, is the only question I have on him.

Here is a couple of scouting reports on him:
Johnson is an imposing physical specimen -- standing at 6'2'' and 258 pounds -- while being arguably the strongest player on the team. He has decent speed -- around 4.7 in the 40-yard dash -- but he still needs to improve in that area if he wants to be a star at the next level. Johnson is a huge hitter, especially when he gets a full head of steam behind him, but he struggles just a bit at changing direction so he sometimes has trouble against smaller, shiftier running backs. He is not, however, going to get overpowered. Injuries are a minor concern for Johnson, who was sidelined for one full game and part of another in 2008. He was dealing with an MCL midway through his senior season, so it remained to be seen how he finished out the season. Right now Johnson looks to be off the board early on Day 2 of the 2010 NFL Draft. However, his athleticism should provide for a stellar performance at the combine, so moving up is a very real possibility.

Very strong and powerful
Sideline-to-sideline ability
Always around the football
Active
Fluid hips and can cover tight ends
Displays great range in zone
A productive playmaker
Tough
Versatile; any scheme player
Improved his ability when taking angles to the football
Stack-and-shed linebacker
Poised and under control
High upside
Nice overall skill set <img name="prti" style="width: 1px; height: 1px; float: none;" height="1" width="1">
Weaknesses: Might lack some instincts
Talent hasn't always shown through on field
Doesn't have great timed speed
A little inconsistent
Could be a more effective blitzer
Needs to improve reaction skills
Minor durability concerns
Summary: Johnson is a linebacker with a very high upside, but hasn't caught the full attention of NFL scouts quite yet. If he can stay healthy next season, I think he is going to move up draft boards because of his impressive skill set and high upside.
Player Comparison: Jon Beason. Their body frames, physical approach to the game and range are very similar.

I like his size, but I want a guy with a motor and an attitude.....Give me Iowa's Pat Angerer (6'1'' / 235) if we're waiting til the 3rd or 4th, over this guy.
