Yeah I got confused... It'd be a real plus if Chaun Thompson can be a good blitzing LB. I see he had 5 sacks in 2005.

How do you think Chris Ellis compares with Jeremy Thompson? I like Chris Ellis's numbers in college, and he looks like he has a good motor.

Ellis was originally a player that I would have put into the same catagory as Avril, Howard, and Chaun Thompson - just by looking at his height/weight/speed. Then when I saw him play, he looks lost. He doesn't have the instincts or football IQ that I want. So, he is off my draft board. I'll let somebody else overdraft him.

Jeremy Thompson has a motor, better size to play DE, is strong against the run, plays disciplined, and could develop into a better pass-rusher.
