Regarding MidFielders
MidFielder is my Term for what you Earthlings call "LineBackers", as I find the term "LineBacker" to be both denigrating to the Players, themselves, and also ridiculously clunky. "MidFielder" just feels far more correct to me.
When evaluating MidFielders, these are the Attributes to which I pay most particular attention:
Run Defense ~ Processing Speed, Power, Agility, and Mechanics as he Works Traffic and of course Tackling.
Pass Coverage ~ Processing Speed, Agility, and Verticity. Tackling.
Pass Rush ~ Power, Agility, and Mechanics.
Intangibles ~ Processing Speed, Field Vision, and Motor.

Jordan Tripp Scouting Report
Run Defense ~ Effective. Tripp doesn't seem to me to be quite as explosive, breaking towards the FootBall, as his lauded Short Shuttle time would indicate, but his Ricochet is more than adequate, as is his Fluidity, and both his Launch Velocity and Closing Speed are impressive. Solid Core Power. His extraordinary Field Vision is his greatest potential Strength. Tripp makes mistakes, but his Processing Speed is lightning fast: He just needs more Diagnostic Development. Phenomenal Motor on this kid: His Energy is through the roof, and he is always around the Ball.
Pass Coverage ~ Competitive. Quick to Read & React, though not so quick to Turn & Burn effectively.
Pass Rush ~ Mediocre. Great Motor, but not remarkable in any other Aspect of this Aspect.
Intangibles ~ Extraordinary. Tripp is by all accounts a voracious Competitor who busts his @$$ relentlessly. Mind you: his Diagnostic Acuity needs Work, but if he can bring his Mastery of the Game up to speed, he could become amazing, because his Processing Speed is outstanding. Tripp plays the Game with relentless Ferocity.

Jordan Tripp Prospectus
It's strange about Jordan Tripp. The reason that there's a bit of a buzz about'm is because of his extraordinary Short Shuttle and overall performance at the Combine...Yet while his Agility is more than adequate, it is by no means exceptional.
His Processing Speed and his Motor, on the other hand, are phenomenal.
Based on his unremarkable Agility and Core Power, I'd probably grade Tripp as a Reserve.
But his relentless Intensity and his Processing Speed render'm intriguing.
I'm not sure I'd trust'm on all 3 Downs, though. I'm not convinced that he's got enough Verticity ~ that's Turn & Burn Acuity, to you Earthlings ~ to play effective Pass Coverage consistently. If his Diagnostics catch up to his Processing Speed, I believe that Tripp could play Zone very well, indeed, but I'm far less confident in his Capacity to play Man Coverage.
There is definite Potential, here.
And I suspect that it might include a positional change.
I see Tripp as a moderately Agile and moderately Powerful Prospect whose Potential Impact is predicated mostly on his extraordinary Motor and Processing Speed. And I'm thinking that if he gets the right kind of coaching, his Diagnostic Acuity is indeed going to catch up to his outstanding Processing Speed...and that, to me, translates to "MidFielder."
That's "Middle LineBacker", to your Earhtlings.
Jordan Tripp is a natural-born Field General. Put that Processing Speed and voracious Motor together with some top shelf Coaching, get that Diagnostic Acuity up to speed, and I can easily foresee'm taking command of a Defense for the next decade. And his Energy on Tape is incredible: This is the kind of guy who inspires his TeamMates.
Just don't put'm in Man Coverage.
Thanks, as always, to the extraordinary Work by the men of Draft BreakDown!!
