Like others have said, NFL scouts know he was not coached well.
Perkins is a huge talent and he may well play himself into the 1st round but he's not there yet. He has to learn how to play linebacker. He stood around lost a lot last season. We all want to put that entirely on House but we'll see. It seems like the ball crossing the line of scrimmage would simplify assignments but it didn't always seem to. But hopefully Baker is a better teacher.

I agree with that. I think Baker will teach and show him more than what House did. Everyone saw his talent as a freshman. He was able to cause a lot of problems bc of his ability and the D-line was better his freshman season. Last year due to injury and not having a real D line coach, the D line suffered. Therefore Perkins was the main target for the offense to block.
Now that LSU has a legit D line coach and DC who will know how to teach, Perkins and the defense will be better. The product on the field and results will determine if that is true.

That's exactly my point! He's immensely talented, but he's still very raw and has a lot to learn to be a first round pick. He was absolutely lost last year playing LB. Some of you guys need to take off the purple sunglasses and look at reality. If anyone thinks that LSU had a first round draft pick on last year's defense, you need to commit yourself to the nearest mental facility.
To be a first round pick in the NFL draft at LB, you need to have film comparable to Devin White or Patrick Queen, and he's not even close. Could Perkins - with great coaching, hard work and a lot of studying film - become a first round pick at LB next year? Absolutely, but he's not even close right now!
