eaglegenius Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 The Bulldogs have the best defense in college ball and Nakobe Dean is arguably their best linebacker, based on his three year stats. But what I like most is that he's been stepping up his game every year, steadily getting more dangerous. Tripled his number of sacks this year (4.5 and the season's not over), and took one of his 2 INTs 50 yds for a TD.
BigEd76 Posted December 7, 2021 Posted December 7, 2021 I worry about his size in the NFL. He's smaller than some safeties

Dean is listed at 6'0, 225... I dont worry about his size, he will be find. He is a heat seeker who is always around the ball, and he is the leader for the best defense in college football. 1
Connecticut Eagle Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Yes. Smart, athletic, aggressive. Perfectly happy spending a mid-first on this guy.

DawkinsOwnage03 Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 This is a real one so we won’t draft him 😕
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted January 5, 2022 Posted January 5, 2022 This guy gets around the field and would be a lot of fun to watch I think. The worry is definitely his size though.

Rob331 Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 I don't like Dean in the first round. Seems to me he made his whole rep on one play in the national championship game when he chased the receiver across the field on a jet sweep. He's also standing on his toes to measure 6'0". I'm much prefer Lloyd or even Harris (Alabama) or Smith (Penn State) in the 2nd round.

Per the Combine page, he's listed at 5'11, 229 lbs. Ironically, Dean's player comp on his NFL.com scouting report is Devin Bush.
flyerdog Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 i would never go for this because we seem to always try this and it fails..but with a guy who is 5'10" and 215 lbs...why not convert him to Safety? i hope we draft him because of his major: Mechanical Engineering... he would be, hands down, the smartest player on defense

I don't think he plays at 229, and I bet he had to piss like race horse at the weigh in. No tumble, draft stock steady.

He's 5' 11.25" tall and 229 lbs. The combine numbers are not propaganda.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 I probably would yes if he's BPA. But we know the Eagles won't and they need to look at S and CB.
rrfierce Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 I'm not sure we even need another LB with Whyte, TJ Edwards, Bradley and Taylor? Especially an undersized one

Especially an undersized one He wont be around when we pick. Dean may be undersized, but not much different than guys like Eric Kendricks, Devin White, or Bobby Wagner (as a rookie). I understand that his length does pose real limitations in some coverage situations. But, the dude flys around the field, he is durable, and his ability to read and react is just one of the reasons he led the best defense in CFB. He is going to be gone in the next 10 - 12 picks. But I agree, we REALLY need to go elsewhere (pick a CB). I also hope to see Taylor continue his development from last year and really begin to tap into his potential. 1
