I think the deep-data view of Devin White is less flattering than the surface level view. He is fast as hell and is around the play a lot, makes a lot of big plays, etc. But the guys at PFF watching every play, not just splash ones, seem to find him as the emblem of a certain type of player who is overrated hy the highlight reel and sack/tackle numbers. As in, he misses assignments, jumps coverage, takes chances, and so forth in the pursuit of big plays but fairly often at the cost of leaving someone wide open or leaving a gap uncovered in the run stop scheme.
Lavonte David, maybe a fit for this team, he's the sound LB from that roster (albeit in his last phase). But I think I'd rather let someone else give White a Bud Dupree type contract.
