NFL | Brennan Williams shows well at Pro Day
Tue, 26 Mar 2013 18:31:06 -0700

North Carolina OT Brennan Williams (shoulder) did not take part in the bench press at his Pro Day Wednesday, March 26, as he is still recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum. However, he ran the 40-yard dash in 5.20 seconds, posted a 28 1/2-inch vertical leap, and a length of 8-foot-5 in the broad jump.

don't want Fluker does not have the feet for zone blocking scheme

Yeah we don't need talented guys who can block and have strong leadership skills, bad move.

 

[Midswat]

Any word on if the Cowboys were in attendence?

Is Butch Davis still the coach at UNC? He might give insight on those guys as well. I think he got fired though and some guy named Larry Fedora is the coach now.

 

[Midswat]

I've all but decided that 95% of mainstream draftniks are completely full of shit.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

don't see it that way I think they may have been looking at DT Bennie Logan at lsu day

Has Logan been brought in to Valley Ranch? Gee I don't think so. Next.

but I think they want a DT in the first unless Cooper or Warmack just happen to fall into our laps

I really don't see that

so I am lookimg at

18 Sheldon Richardson*, DT, Missouri

trade back

Jesse Williams
Johnathan Hankins

Same question for Bennie Logan, has any of those DTs been brought in? If Warmack is gone, and they go OL, then likely Fluker would be the pick, afterall, like Warmack, he has been brought in for workout. I don't see DT in the 1st, when we already have Ratliff and Hatcher.

you can get Alvin Bailey, OG, Arkansas 6-3 #315 in the third

So. Has he been brought in? I'd be ok with Baily. You can also get Warford in the 2nd.

 

[Midswat]

We've drafted guys we haven't brought in before previously Laz.

Also, we're not done bringing prospects in.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

We've drafted guys we haven't brought in before previously Laz.

Also, we're not done bringing prospects in.

Aside from Mike Jenkins and because we had two 1st rounders, how many players have we drafted of late IN THE 1ST ROUND, that was not brought in previously? And if they didn't bring them in... did they at least attend their Pro Days? And I understand that we are not yet through brining in prospects, but I'm going by what's taken place so far.

 

[Midswat]

We attended LSU's Pro Day.

 

[junk]

I don't think Morris Claiborne came in. Or Crawford

LSU pro day: Mingo, Mathieu stand on combine times; Minter sparkles


By Dane Brugler | NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst

March 27, 2013 8:11 pm ET

With a large contingent of NFL representatives on-hand, 20 draft-eligible Tigers worked out in Baton Rouge at LSU's on-campus pro day on Wednesday. Most of the top prospects like Barkevious Mingo and Tyrann Mathieu decided to stand on their times from the combine, but several other players were able to perform in front of several general managers and head coaches, including the Steelers' Mike Tomlin and the Saints' Sean Payton.

Mathieu and Mingo participated in positional drills and both impressed throughout the afternoon. Afterward, they were also popular in interviews as well, with the Honey Badger spending extensive time with Tomlin and several of the other NFL assistant coaches on campus. Mathieu is expected to be drafted sometime on the second day of the draft and Mingo is a likely first-round pick. Head coach Les Miles added that he wouldn't be surprised if Mingo is the “first defensive player off the board.”

Linebacker Kevin Minter ran a 4.81 40-yard dash at the combine but was able to improve that number to 4.67 on Wednesday, adding a 34.5-inch vertical jump, 7.37 three-cone drill and 4.47 short shuttle. The potential first-round pick also looked smooth in linebacker drills and only helped his case to be the first player chosen in the draft at his position, ahead of other middle linebackers like Manti Te'o and Alec Ogletree.

With double-digit underclassmen leaving early for the NFL, LSU might challenge the record for the number of draft picks in a single year, which stands at 14 (Ohio State, 2004).

Other notes from LSU's Pro Day:
-- Defensive end Lavar Edwards stood on several of his marks from the combine but was able to improve his 40-yard dash (4.78) and bench press (21 reps). Although he hasn't received the same attention as the Tigers' other pass rushers like Mingo and Sam Montgomery, Edwards is very much in the top-100 discussion.

-- Wide receiver Russell Shepard was a late addition to the Senior Bowl but he didn't receive an invitation to the combine. On Wednesday, he turned in average workout results, including a 4.51 40-yard dash, 4.32 short shuttle, 7.04 three-cone drill, 38.5-inch vertical jump and 10-4 broad jump.

-- Cornerback Tharold Simon ran a 4.51 in the 40-yard dash at the combine and was able to improve that number at LSU's pro day with times in the 4.44-4.49 range. He also improved his short shuttle (4.41) and three-cone drill (7.00) on Wednesday.

 

[overused]

Yeah we don't need talented guys who can block and have strong leadership skills, bad move

you KNOW THIS HOW ?

I much rather draft Chris Faulk or Brennan Williams

I'd really be surprised if we eveb draft a OT

Free not going anyplace

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Lavar Edwards is a poor man's Justin Tuck as he can slide inside to DT in the nickel.

 

[dbair1967]

Yeah we don't need talented guys who can block and have strong leadership skills, bad move

you KNOW THIS HOW ?

Watching it on TV perhaps?

I much rather draft Chris Faulk or Brennan Williams

Wouldnt be opposed to adding either, although neither is as good as Fluker.

I'd really be surprised if we eveb draft a OT

Didnt they schedule private workouts with both Fluker and Teron Armstead? There's a reason.

Free not going anyplace

He might not be today. After 6-1 he is gone.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

Latest from Stretch Smith FWIW...

Says Fluker is a T only and several NFL scouts told him he's very poor kicking left, so don't think he can play LT (as a swing guy). Doesn't think we will take him.

Two DTs worthy of #18 are Floyd and Richardson. Knows Floyd won't be there. Richardson, maybe. Don't dismiss trade ups.

Four OL worthy of 18, Warmack the only one who might be there.

Says his picks for #18 Warmack or...Get this... Eric Reid. Wild card: Eddie Lacy.

Word he hears on Vacarro? We like him, don't love him, at #18. And at 18 you better love him.

Just passing it along.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Oh THANK GOODNESS on the news about Vaccaro. What a JAG.

I think they're just scrutinizing him and hoping something jumps out at them more than anything.

 

[NoShame]

Just something to note, Darren Sharper said Vaccaro reminds him of himself.
