🏈 Pick #148 is in! Raiders select LB, Tommy Eichenberg, Ohio St.


Recommended Posts

Aggressive grinder with that Raider mentality. But also a below average athlete with poor speed. Your usual 4th/5th Round LB, we’ve seen this story a million times. 

Hopefully behind this DL, he looks way better than he actually is.

Watching him, he doesn't look as slow as people say. Not saying he's mega-athletic, but he's not a huge liability or anything like that. Should be a decent role player and could have a role in 3 LB/goal line packages.

This pick has really grown on me. Seems like a perfect clone of Spillane.  Only worry is that we end up moving on from Spillane, would love to have both going forward long term.

Sounds like he was good last year but incredible the year before. Can anyone who watches college confirm?

Always been solid not spectacular. Spill clone imo iq makes up for lack of speed. Great tackler if he came out last year Imo would’ve got drafted higher

That is kind of the way it went.  I think injuries slowed him a little last year.

I think Eichenberg starts day one. He, Deablo and Spillane are likely our best 3 LBs. Of course we'll be in nickel so much so it remains to be seen how much PT he gets, but I wouldn't be shocked if he overtakes Divine at some point for big plays.

I remember watching him last year and being quite impressed, thinking he would be maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder but I really liked him, then he went back to school and I didn’t really see him much this year, seemed to go much more under the radar.
