I am kinda warming to the idea of a trade back an picking up Hightower and a extra pick in the 2 or 3 rd

Brookins an James are done

Agreed on James and Brookins. But I think the team relies on Carter and a free agent signing to fill the ILB position.

More Mayock on Darius Fleming: "Natural rush ability no matter where you line him up. He's a draftable DE/OLB/ST. Gonna surprise some ppl."

I watched him in couple games never heard his name

but he could surprise who knows

Strengths: Good all-around athlete with very good short-area quickness and fluidity. Very good playing strength and has worked hard in the weight room, adding bulk and filling out his frame. Does a nice job locating the ball and sticking with the play while working off blocks to get to the ballcarrier. Physical and finishes. Works hard to get better and gives top effort on every play. Heads-up defender and shows good field awareness ? gets his hands up in passing lanes. Has enough athleticism to drop in coverage and penetrate the pocket. Has good experience as a four-year starter (36 career starts) and offers versatility, lining up in both the two- and three-point stance ? also played on special teams coverage each season.

Weaknesses: Not explosive and lacks the needed initial burst or change of direction skills for the position. Chase speed is below average and he gets too upright as a pass rusher ? needs to play with better leverage. A poor open field tackler and plays with inconsistent awareness ? too many missed assignments and doesn?t show much anticipation. Football instincts are average at-best and I can?t help but think his growth has been stunted by all the turnover on the Irish?s defensive coaching staff and different philosophies ? still learning how to utilize his skills. Doesn?t disengage blocks as quickly as a player with his kind of strength should ? raw technique. Had subpar production for pass rusher with only 14.5 sacks ? didn?t even average a 0.5 sack per start.

NFL Comparison: Danny Batten, Buffalo Bills

Anxiously awaiting fan reaction to Justin Blackmon's 40 time, which I've been told is in the 4.56-4.58 range.

13 different Big 12 WRs have been selected in top 2 rounds since 2000. Total 1,000 yard seasons? 2. Wes Welker, undrafted, has 4.

Quinton Coples is such a great pass rusher that when u remove games vs James Madison and Duke he had 3.5 sacks in 10 games. Impressive stuff

His combine performance reminded me exactly of Brandon Spikes. Rey Maualuga also put up bad Combine numbers. Both slipped to the 2nd round and have had pretty solid NFL careers so far.

Working the phones this morning and there are now at least three teams that have Michael Floyd (WR-Notre Dame) as top WR in the draft

Blackmon and Floyd going in the Top 13 would be nice.

I'd rather Hostile email me and tell me all about the draft picks. Just like he sacrificed for NoDak.

I was told all #NFL teams except #Bears & #Cowboys attended #Georgia Pro Day today.

That's not so good for my Brandon Boykin man crush.
