Irish Jet Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 That was pretty impressive. He also did very well in the other drill, at least so far. I expect he'll be off the board by pick #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. He's not worth a top 10 pick IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman88 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 He also ran the 40 in 5.17 Pretty impressive for someone his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 His performance yesterday made him a top 4 pick....he is gone Jets fans I'm not sure. The only team I could see taking him are the Rams from that group and they may take one of the top D-lineman that are available. Until Sedrick Ellis, Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long, Matt Ryan and Darren McFadden have posted their results you can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 From everything I have read McFadden is dropping big time..some do not even have him as the best back He's dropping but not that badly IMO. I still think he'll be the first back taken unless Mendenhall really shows him up at the combine. He'll definetly go in the top 10 IMO regardless of what happens.

4HCrew Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 he could be a top 10 guy but do not think the Jets will be taking him at 6...too many rumblings about this guy. Between Mendenhall and Stewart teams are not going to splurge to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 The guy is a beast. I never understood when their were rumblings starting that he may not be able to play Left Tackle in the NFL. The guy was a stone wall, for the most part, at Michigan and will be the next Joe Thomas. He no longer is going to be a possibility at 6. The guy may not see the second pick.

Sperm Edwards Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 he could be a top 10 guy but do not think the Jets will be taking him at 6...too many rumblings about this guy. Between Mendenhall and Stewart teams are not going to splurge to get him. Too many rumblings by NFL team scouts. For the same reasons I have been stating here pre-combine. He's not the end-all, future HOF'er that some would have me believe. He's just the pre-combine incredible college player who's pretty shifty (though not incredibly so) & runs like the wind. Pre-combine in particular, if only one overrated prospect like that comes out in any given year, it's an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 people see what they want to see - if the rams take him at 2 with their pick, that's their bad. Jake Long is a possibly great right tackle but will get beat by edge rushers who play right defensive end. the bench press wasn't never a concern, it was the 3-cone and shuttle, im not sure he's dispelled those concerns about balance and feet. by the way Long was supposed to run a 4.75 according to all the sites. 5.1 is very very good but not necessarily top 5 skillset. will he be on the board when the Jets pick, it would be unlikely but not impossible.

Didn't Brick run a 5.1? Still don't know why anyone cares what a lineman's straightaway-in-shorts, 40-yard dash time is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of O-lineman runs a 4.75??? I'm pretty sure D'Brick and Joe Thomas did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachTsurfing Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Sweet I'lll take him at six if hes there I was just thinking the same thing. with him we have a better chance of him starting the otah or clady for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'll say is that Minnesota Viking fans are absolutely delighted you are not the GM of their football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
