WalterFootball.com ranked Scooby as the #3 inside linebacker in the draft, adding:
“…good run defender who can make plays as a pass-rusher… good instincts with a combination of pass rush and run defense… short on size and speed for the next level.”
From NFL.com: “…his instincts, production and overall competitive fire make him one of the safer second day bets in this draft.”
Scouts compare him to former Miami Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas, who was a 7-time Pro Bowler & 5-time First-Team All-Pro. Would anyone NOT sign up for that?
Some mock drafts had Wright going as high as the first round. Scooby probably won’t be available in the third, but if he is, the Giants would have to seriously consider selecting him.
