1st play Don't worry he will play against slow RT's in the NFL. Jake Long is a VERY good player, why he is going to be a top 5 pick. He'd be great value in the 11th round : )

Only McGay (aka McShay) and Kelly isn't a top 20 player.

Found some stuff on these guys TOP 3 SMALL SCHOOL OUTSIDE LINEBACKERS 1. Bryan Smith, McNeese State, 6023, 231lbs, 4.57 40 Smith finished his career as a two-time 1st team All-American and two-time Buck Buchanan Award Finalist. He was a sack master at McNeese State as he put up 24 sacks in his last two years. He earned consensus All-America honors in 2007 with 22.5 tackles for loss and 10.5 sacks. Outside linebacker is where most scouts project him due to his lack of height and bulk for defensive end in the NFL. Smith is very athletic and displays good explosiveness off the snap but lacks the strength to hold the line at the next level and has no experience at the linebacker position. He played in the 2008 Hula Bowl and did very well. His NFL grade is tough to gauge as people have him rated anywhere from the 4th to 7th round. He should come off the board sometime in the 5th-6th round range. ------------------------------------------ Andy Studebaker (6-4 255), Wheaton College (Division III) One of the few Division III prospects our watch list, Studebaker has seen his stock fall this season due to injury. Entering 2007, however, Studebaker’s prowess was well-known, as he was viewed as a legitimate mid-round draft choice before an injury-plagued senior season in which he appeared in just five games. Studebaker, described a ‘freak’ by his coaches, landed in Wheaton after failing to draw Division I/I-AA interest as a 205-pound high school senior from a small, downstate school in Illinois. The all-state high jumper became a recruiting coup for Wheaton, emerging as the best pass rusher in Division III and a team captain. In 2005, Studebaker made 55 tackles (19.5 for loss) with 7.5 sacks before taking off in 2006, a season in which he amassed 17.5 sacks and 24.5 tackles for loss en route to All-American recognition and NFL prospect status. Agents and scouts from every NFL team flocked, but two injuries and a sickness limited Studebaker to five games (he recorded five sacks). He was operated on in November to repair a partially-torn foot ligament, and recovery is expected to take five months, meaning he’ll miss all-star games and the Combine. Studebaker is described by coaches as a high character kid. After going down, he was disappointed, but didn’t abandon his leadership responsibilities, taking to a role as a quasi-cheerleader/coach. A petition for a medical redshirt was recently denied, so Studebaker’s collegiate career is over, but he’s expected to make a full recovery. Studebaker dominated inferior opponents with quickness, speed, and strength. In the spring, he was timed in the low 4.5s. If he can regain the speed and athleticism that made him one of the elite small-school prospects entering the season, he could be a steal in the later rounds as a potential stand-up linebacker.

Rather stay home cook some good food, have a nice toilet to popo, cozy chair.

Connecticut CB Tyvon Branch had private workouts with the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets and visited with the Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins, San Diego Chargers, and Buffalo Bills New York Jets are showing interest in Delaware QB Joe Flacco New England Patriots are scheduled to meet with Arkansas RB Darren McFadden April 10-11

http://www.nfldraftblitz.com/PremiumBlitz/draftbuzz.htm Buffalo Bills · Met w/ Wheaton College LB Andy Studebaker · Showing interest in McNeese State DE Bryan Smith · Scouts were in attendance at the South Carolina Pro Day · Iowa CB Charles Godfrey will visit or has already visited · Missouri Darnell Terrell will visit or already visited · Expected to attend New Mexico State OL Mike Martinez’s private workout in April · Scouts were in attendance at the Boston College Pro Day · Michigan State WR Devin Thomas will visit or has already visited · Leodis McKelvin visited the team Thursday ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andy Studebaker is a DE/LB was hurt this year I think has the most sacks ever at Wheaton

Steve Justice sucks, Mike Pollak is just okay. John Sullivan sounds like a good player "Stout at the point...Smart with decent awareness...Intense and a hard worker with a non-stop motor...A leader with top intangibles...Tons of experience" Next year I'd rather draft Alex Mack in the 1st/2nd.

Agree with Ashton Youboty and Duke Preston

Ko Simpson was and still might be very raw player. Only playing in what 16 games? He needs more time. EDIT: Just looked up a draft profile on him found this "Weaknesses: Lacks ideal playing experience"

LOL, Clady would be a Fowler at G. If we draft any OL guy at 11 it should be Albert who is a killer G and could move to T later on.

HAHAHA, I'm for it!!!!!!!

Also "ESPN's Matt Mosley says he "knows for a fact" the Rams are "in love" and "infatuated" with Ohio State DE/OLB Vernon Gholston." And I think they might be moving into a 34

#2 pick

:) BTW What We're Hearing http://www.nfldraftblitz.com/PremiumBlitz/...werehearing.htm "- We ran into some interesting cornerback rankings we thought we'd pass along. One AFC East team ranks the top five this way: 1) Mike Jenkins, 2) Antoine Cason, 3) Leodis McKelvin, 4) Brandon Flowers, 5) Tracy Porter. That team had Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie ranked 7th at the position."

Adarius Bowman is a man with nothing to lose, and everything to gain. He’s already lost it once, and it won’t happen again. By Luke Paul Chandler “Nah man. You can’t stop me,” Adarius Bowman proclaims during a phone conversation, after being asked how he would defend himself on the football field. Bowman’s frank answer could be interpreted as either extremely cocky, or extremely confident. Bowman, who eschews the grind process of the pre-draft workouts, where some have said he’s slow too make it in the NFL. He has no waver in his voice when he describes himself as a playmaker. He knows that his game shows up on film, not a stopwatch. That’s why when he’s asked his 40-yard dash times that failed to break 4.7 at the Combine in February and Oklahoma State’s Pro Day earlier this month, he’s not worried. The former Oklahoma State standout is not a primadonna, though. Despite the kind of physical talent that could bring an NFL general manager to his knees, Bowman is far from the modern NFL wide receiver in personality. His outward confidence comes from a place of maturity and respect, rather than showboating and a self-centered attitude. For someone who once had lost a hold on a budding two-sport career in college, there is not much that gets to him. The real story is that Bowman has seen a great deal in his 22 years. At such a young age, he’s already experienced parts of life that some men don’t see until they are much deeper in adulthood. Most of it never happened on a football field, but it shaped him into the player that he has become today. To people like his mother, Tara Bowman, and his position coach at both North Carolina and Oklahoma State Gunter Brewer, they see a young man with so much more than NFL potential. It was not always that way. For a time early on in his college career, which originally began at the University of North Carolina, Bowman was admittedly not making the best decisions. In October 2004, he was caught with two other Tar Heels in a dorm room smoking marijuana. Bowman admits that he was smoking marijuana with the others, but that he was not the one who brought the drugs to the room. Charges were later dropped, but the coach John Bunting moved quickly, and dismissed Bowman along with two others on a one-strike policy. “I hold no resentment, nor regret it because it made the person that I am today,” Bowman said. “I feel that the university could have handled the situation better, but it happened the way it happened, and it was what it is. It was being young, and making mistakes.” Bowman felt that North Carolina had acted too harshly against him, feeling that he should have been given a second chance. After his case was dismissed in November 2004, he said that he was given a second chance to come back to the team. Bowman, however, was ready to transfer. It was a big shock to those closest to Bowman that a mistake like this could happen. He was born on July 10th, 1985 to Tara, who at the time was just 14. Bowman at a young age had to take on great responsibility. His father was not involved in his upbringing, so Bowman had to become a father figure to his younger siblings. Raised in Chattanooga, Tenn. in a small apartment, Bowman couldn’t have the care-free existence of his peers. His responsibilities were at home. It never bothered Bowman though. “I was taking a different approach than the other students,” Bowman said. “When everyone was going out to the movies or just hanging out, I had to go home to take care of my brothers and sisters. I never had a problem doing it though.” Bowman can count on one hand the amount of times he’s met with his father. Because of that, his bond with his mother is tight, a near brother and sister relationship because of their close ages. As Brewer described, Bowman may not have grown up with many materialistic things, but he grow up with a lot of love in his family. Bowman, despite not coming from wealth, was a two-sport star at Notre Dame High School, a private school in Chattanooga. To support the family, Tara Bowman worked several jobs while he was growing up. He was originally a basketball star, and was attracted to football as a way of bulking up, and getting into a better weight-lifting routine. When he first became a member of the team, he tried several positions before finally settling on wide receiver, where Bowman says he finally found “it.” During his first year of varsity football, Bowman had a monstrous season, catching 52 passes for 1,339 yards and 16 touchdowns. It was at this time that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution named him one of the top 100 players in the South. Bowman had found a home for his athletic talent. During his senior season while at Notre Dame, Bowman became a hot name in recruiting. At that time he became heavily recruited by Gunter Brewer, the wide receivers coach at the University of North Carolina. Bowman says that his relationship with Brewer was special from the beginning. Brewer made several recruiting visits to his home, and spent time getting to know his family. “It really allowed me to know what kind of person he was,” Bowman said. Bowman later said along with his talks with then basketball coach for the Tar Heels, Matt Doherty, gave him the answer he needed, to commit to North Carolina to play both basketball and football. It was a tough move for Bowman, especially early on. He said he had conversations with his mom about coming home to be closer to his family. “I had spent so much of my childhood at home … I felt out of my routine away from home,” he said. During his time at North Carolina, it began to take a toll on him. His grades had begun to slip, and he was unhappy. In spite of the ugliness of his dismissal from North Carolina, Bowman found a second chance in Stillwater, Oklahoma. At that time, Brewer had decided to leave North Carolina to take a role on head coach Mike Gundy’s staff at Oklahoma State. Bowman said that “he was the only reason I went there. I was committed to following Coach Brewer wherever he went.” Brewer, who had been at Oklahoma State a full semester before Bowman committed, made it known to the receiver that he was being given a second chance. Through coach Gundy, Bowman became aware that another incident involving marijuana would not be tolerated. It was not an issue though, and Bowman had Brewer vouching for the young transfer student. “He no longer felt comfortable there after I had left, and it was a matter of letting people know we could get him around the corner, and he deserved a second chance,” Brewer said. “I was more concerned with his poor decision making at that time than his character. “Kids make mistakes, adults make mistakes and from the President of the United States to me, out there in the public eye it’s more visible as an athlete in the media. We were extremely disappointed because he had been raised better than that, and we couldn’t stick our head in the sand. On a college campus of 30,000 or more, that things of that nature do happen. You have to address the problem, not walk away from it, and find out why a person made that decision.” The two became closer because of the incident, which later defined both men’s roles in each other’s lives. Brewer said at that time, he started to see Bowman grow as a person. Bowman had stopped handling matters like a child, and more like an adult. During the 2005 season where Bowman had to sit out due to transfer rules, it was a very humbling time for Bowman, according to Brewer. Bowman had no choice but to learn to become a team player, and to learn that it wasn’t always his way that was right. It was tough on Bowman, but he understood that he had no choice, “sitting out that year made a much better player and person.” When he finally got a chance to play his first game as an Oklahoma State Cowboy Bowman says he was out there to prove a point to himself. He responded with a huge season that saw play well on the field, but more than that become a big part of the team. Bowman blew up to become a big-play receiver, much like former Brewer student Randy Moss, and was one of the hottest wide receivers in the country. He gave serious consideration to declaring for the 2007 NFL Draft, but he said his mom pushed him to finish his degree. At the time, he was only about 20 credit hours away from graduation. When he came back for his final season in 2007, he says that he was more experienced and he had a deeper understanding for the game, and his comfort level increased. He also had corrective eye surgery in the spring of 2007, to correct 20/900 vision in his one eye. A change in schemes and quarterbacks saw Bowman’s production drop statistically, but as always, his confidence in his performance never falters, “all I can do is play the game…it is what it is. People can see I can play the game.” To Brewer, who has grown with Bowman over the past four years, he sees so much more for Bowman. He sees not only the football player, but the young man who’s grown so much. Bowman ranks extremely high on Brewer’s lists of pupils, and not just for his physical talent. Brewer sees much more for Bowman than just football, though he does see a great deal of untapped talent in the young man. To Brewer, Bowman will make an impact somewhere in life, hopefully both on and off the football field.

Jim Leonard stepped up, lol

"Take the Best Player Available regardless of position" so if Matt Ryan is there 7/12 people want to take him.

We don't now how good Dwayne Robertson will be in a 4-3. Robertson failed his physical in Denver. The trade hinged on Robertson signing a long-term deal with the Bengals, but he balked at reducing his remaining salaries. The Jets want to move him before June, when he's due a $3 million bonus. 2008: $6.8 million (+ $3 million roster bonus due in June), 2009: $4.5 million, 2010: Free Agent. Cap charges: $12 million (2008), $9.7 million (2009). You want to pay that much for him???? I don't. Maybe if he is cut but CIN and DEN will push hard from him

Mario Urrutia is soft. He's 6'6 but he plays like he is 5'9. He is scared to go over the middle. He didn't dominate opponents that he should have. He isn't going to be a good NFL player. He has a questionable work ethic. I'm just not sold on his mental abilities and intangibles. He has bust written all over him. His stats are misleading because Petrino's system was a great offensive system and the routes in the playbooks were just perfect. He isn't a very good blocker considering his size.

Adarius Bowman WR | (6'2" 7/8, 220, 4.48) | OKLAHOMA STATE Scouts Grade: 75 View by: Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below. Strengths: A late bloomer with an outstanding combination of height, bulk and straight-line speed. A massive target with long arms and big hands. Excels on vertical routes and is a big-play waiting to happen. He does a great job of using his body to shield defenders on slants, posts, etc. Also wins most jump ball battles. Is deceptively fast because he builds speed as he goes and will get over the top of DB's quicker than they think. Shows the ability to make the acrobatic catch and has strong hands to pluck the ball away from defenders in heavy traffic. Not afraid to go over the middle. He's a tough runner after the catch. Very difficult for DB's to bring down one-on-one. Gives a good effort as a blocker. Is big and strong enough to dominate most CB's at the point of attack once locked on. Weaknesses: Needs to show more consistent focus. Drops too many catchable passes. Seems to fight the ball at times and lets it get into his pads too often. Lacks explosive initial burst and will need to improve his array of release moves to compensate in the NFL. Still too sloppy as a route runner. Rounds off too many of his routes and isn't crisp enough getting in and out of breaks particularly on intermediate routes. Could have significantly more trouble separating in the NFL if he doesn't improve the crispness of his routes. He's not overly elusive after the catch and he lacks the initial burst to explode up the field right away he needs a crease or to break a tackle in order to make big gains after the catch. Effort and size/strength are good as a stalk blocker but he must improve his technique and angles. Overall: Bowman attended North Carolina as a freshman and sophomore (2003-'04), appearing in 18 games (two starts) and finishing his Tar Heels career with 28 receptions for 510 yards (18.2 average) and five touchdowns. He transferred to Oklahoma State in 2005, sitting out the season in accordance with NCAA regulations. Bowman immediately was a force for the Cowboys, piling up 127 catches for 2,187 yards (17.2 average) and 20 TDs in 24 games (all starts) during his two years in Stillwater (2005-'06). Bowman was dismissed from North Carolina after being cited for marijuana possession (a charge that was later dismissed). He played five games on the Oklahoma State basketball squad during the 2006-07 season. Bottom line: Bowman possesses an outstanding combination of size, top-end speed and athletic ability. However, he is an unpolished route runner that will struggle to separate versus good man-to-man cover corners in the NFL. Furthermore, his inconsistent hands are troubling. Bowman's stock has taken a big hit for those reasons. Despite his outstanding natural tools, he could easily slip to the third round of the 2008 draft. I think they have the 40 wrong he ran like a 4.70
