From NFL.com Aaron Maybin (DE) Height: 6'4" Weight: 249 College: Penn State Conference: Big 10 Hometown: Ellicott City, MD High School: Mount Hebron Combine Results: 40 Yard Dash : 4.89 seconds Bench Press : 22.0 reps Vertical Jump : 38.0 inches Broad Jump : 124.0 inches 3 Cone Drill : 7.52 seconds 20 Yard Shuttle : 4.38 seconds Featured Prospects Selected by: Buffalo Bills Round: 1 Pick (Overall): 11 (11) Pick Analysis: The Bills take the dynamic pass-rushing specialist from Penn State. Though Maybin left State College, Pa., as a one-year starter, he racked up 12 sacks in his final season and dazzled scouts with his exceptional first-step quickness. For a team in desperate need of a pass rush, Maybin appears to be the ideal fit. Overview Listed second on the depth chart behind Maurice Evans at left defensive end, Maybin was thrust into the starting lineup the third game of his junior season. Coaches were looking to spark a unit hit by graduation, suspensions and injuries and felt that the youngster would be given an audition to see if he could ignite the pass rush. And spark the defense he did. Maybin became the 93rd Penn State player to earn All-American first-team honors, the 76th athlete from the Joe Paterno era to receive that honor. The legendary coach has seen at least one of his players earn All-American accolades in 38 of his 43 seasons as head coach. Maybin finished the 2008 season leading the Big Ten Conference and ranking seventh in the nation with 12 quarterback sacks. That total tied for fifth-best on the school single-season list. His 20 stops behind the line of scrimmage rank as the sixth-highest season total by a Nittany Lion. The left end also registered at least one tackle for loss in all 13 games in which he played. Many Penn State fans thought they were seeing the rise of their team's next great defensive presence. But the 230-pounder felt that after just one season as a starter and two campaigns with the varsity, that he was ready to test his wares in the NFL. Becoming a force to be reckoned with is not something new for Maybin. At Mount Hebron High School, he earned 2005 Baltimore Sun All-Metro team, second-team big school All-State and first-team All-Howard County accolades. As a junior, he produced 79 tackles with nine sacks, followed by ten sacks and 80 tackles in his final season. During his first collegiate season, he redshirted, performing on the scout team at Penn State in 2006. He saw action in 13 games in '07 as a reserve defensive end. He managed only 12 tackles (eight solo), but four of them were quarterback sacks, as he also caused one fumble and deflected a third-down pass. The 2008 season opened with Maybin playing with the second unit. He took over left end duties vs. Syracuse, going on to start ten of the team's next 11 contests. He had at least one tackle behind the line of scrimmage in every game in which he played. The All-Big Ten Conference choice and Ted Hendricks Award finalist also registered at least one sack in 10 games, caused three fumbles and ranked sixth on the team with 49 tackles.

It's all stuff that should be easily fixed. JMO

If you don't like the pick then the kid is gonna be outstanding!! From ESPN Overall Football Traits Production (2) A third-year sophomore who declared with two years of eligibility remaining. He redshirted in 2006 and played as a backup and on special teams in 2007, when he notched 12 total tackles, including four sacks. Had a breakout season in 2008, when he started all 13 games and recorded 49 tackles, including 19 TFL. He also led the Big Ten with 12 sacks. Height-Weight-Speed (3) Adequate height for a DE. Has added bulk and appears capable of adding 10-15 more pounds to his frame. Likely to settle in as a rush-LB in the NFL. Is in great physical condition (just four-percent body fat) and displays excellent straight-line speed. Durability (1) Played in all 25 games during his two seasons of eligibility at PSU. Appears to be a flexible, healthy and durable athlete. Character (1) Very mature for his young age. Had to grow up in a hurry after mother died from birth complications when Aaron was six years old. He is a natural leader both vocally and by example. Non-stop motor is infectious. Great football character. Not aware of any off-the-field issues. Defensive End specific Traits Agility/Quickness (1) Exceptionally quick, even for his type of hybrid DE/OLB. Shows excellent agility and closing burst to the quarterback. Possesses top-shelf body control, as well Strength/Toughness (3) He is lean and must add bulk to frame. Is light in the rear and shows marginal ability to stack at the line of scrimmage when teams run at him. However, don't mistake small for weak or soft in his case. He is aggressive and feisty. He displays good initial pop and adequate upper-body power. And he certainly does not back down from a one-on-one physical battle. Instincts (2) A natural playmaker with a knack for jarring the ball loose. Very good snap anticipation and awareness as a pass rusher. Should only continue to improve in this area with more experience. Pass Rusher (2) Quickest first step of all the edge rushers in the 2009 class. Fluid double moves. Bends the edge tightly. Shows quick hands and strong enough upper body to keep bigger blockers off his pads. Still developing his array of pass rush moves. Gets caught too frequently trying to spin out of double-team attention and needs work in that regard. Run Stopper (3) Spent a lot of time last season working head-up on the TE as PSU's strong-side DE. Shows discipline with backside containment. Stays low and fights to keep his positioning. Can stack versus most TE's but gets washed out too easily by bigger OT's when they get into his pads. Trait Scale 1 = Exceptional 2 = Above average 3 = Average 4 = Below average 5 = Marginal Linky

So he wouldn't be there by their next pick. I guess they shouldn't have taken him then.

He's got a body to add more weight to. From ESPN Overall Football Traits Production (2) A third-year sophomore who declared with two years of eligibility remaining.

Maybin appears to be the man!!

He has poor work habits and all the hoopla around him and especially when the movie comes out will be too much of a distraction for him and I think he's MW again.

Orapko is an injury in a uniform if the Bills take him he'll be Chris Ellis part Deux. Pettigrew!!

A friend of mine is a Faders fan and so I just emailed him with laughter!! RAJI gone!!!

Monroe!!!

No, I think he goes to Jerksonville here.

When Al Davis has a top ten pick. Speed is all he cares about. Ability to catch? Not so much.

Hopefully a hot commodity that will allow the Bills to trade back. However, I highly doubt they do.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Always count on Al to make a super stupid pick. Al "speed" Davis strikes again.

Good, now Buffalo can't take him! Andre "Bust" Smith!

Hey, it took a lot of contemplating for Mort to come up with that gem!

3 players a second round draft next year and three players?

After losing Who'syourmama the Bungles may want him too. Also, he seems like an Al Davis kinda guy.

They at least gave up next years #1. I love this. This will set the Jests back for a loooooonnnnnnngggg time. Dollars to donuts this kid busts.

Can't think of anything right now but I'm sure you'll do something stupid again. Yeah! Jests trade for Dirty Sanchez!!!!

That's what they say at the gay bars. Not that there's anything wrong with that. BYE BYE CURRY!!

Seasqauwacks? Dirty Sanchez or Lemon Curry?

Whoooo Hooooo!!! Thanks KC!!

Tyson Chicken?

I would love to see the Jests give a lot of picks away for Sanchez. I really believe he will be a bust.
