That's not exactly what Diaz said... he said this: "We like the way he performed in our offseason program. We felt like he was sort of one of the top three linebackers in terms of effort and technique in our mat drill program."
Effort and technique in mat drills probably isn't the best predictor of in-game play.

Diaz said owens has been a top 3 LB in the spring and has a chance to start at wlb. Wlb is the same spot as pickney. Its good owens is getting healthy and balling because it creates depth and comp.

Pinckney plays SLB with Owens as his primary backup. WLB is McCloud (and according to Diaz, Wilder and Gordinier both getting looks there). MLB is Shaq, Mike Smith, and Jennings with Gordinier also getting looks there.
Trying to keep him motivated and avoid that sophomore slump...
Don't get me wrong, Pinckney was outstanding as a true freshmen. I would like to see him improve his conditioning and pass coverage.
