Chris Ellis and John McCargo

[Green Lightning]

I am not sure about Kelsey being the slowest OLB in the league, I did a quick check of his 40 time

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...ayers/2573.html

This draft grade in interesting, read what they say

 

or just read this...the analysis is the most interesting part, oh and his 40 time was 4.71...Calvin Pace was 4.75 Lance Briggs was 4.74

 

POSITIVES: Explosive and athletic pass rusher who may be best standing up over tackle. Tough but also smart and plays an intelligent brand of football. Quick anticipating the action, disciplined and stays with his assignments. Gets off the ball with a good first step, keeps his pads low and feet driving up the field. Immediately alters his angle of attack, flatens and pursues from the backside displaying great range with the ability to make plays in any direction of the field. Effective off the line playing in space and quickly closes on the action with a burst of closing speed. Fast enough to beat ball carriers to the flanks or cut off the corners from running backs. Works hard to rush the passer, deceptively strong and defeats two blockers on his way up the field. A warrior who plays while injured.

NEGATIVES: Lacks bulk and has difficulty with big blockers. Though he held up against the run in college, may not be able to do so at the next level.

ANALYSIS: Kelsay's athleticism and tenacity, coupled with his football intellect gives him the possibility at a variety of positions. Could grow into an every down defensive end in a four-three alignment but his movement skills and ability to immediately redirect to the action gives him a lot of potential at outside linebacker in a 34 defense.

 

Nice work Frogger. As I said in an earlier post, Buddy & Chan must know what they are doing. I'm keeping an open mind.

MaCargo drafted by marv in the year of the reach;

 

and with the 8th pick the Buffalo Bills select Donte Wilnot sorry whitner.

 

Want to laugh go back and look at the players they oassed on at 8, second thaught don't you will cry!!!

 

And the DT Haloti Ngata (now in Baltimore) would have looked good in this 3-4 defense...

Good find, frogger, but keep in mind that analysis was written when Kelsay was 21 years old. He's now on the wrong side of 30. Everyone's laughing at Eddie Robinson for being too slow in 2002, but the younger Eddie Robinson was actually a pretty decent OLB for the Oilers/Titans. The Eddie Robinson the Bills ended up with was only a year or two older than what Kelsay is now.

 

Kelsay hardly generated a pass rush when in his prime, playing opposite Schobel and yards closer to the QB...now, of all times, people are coming out of the closet in support of this guy? Do some of you people post for the sake of being argumentative? Or is it the usual preseason rose-colored glasses?

 

I'm not at all happy with Maybin and Ellis as our potential starters, but I'd rather take my chances with these guys and see what we have. If the 2010 season is going to be another season of missing the playoffs, let's at least get some questions answered regarding some of the unproven young guys on the roster. Kelsay has had a long time to prove he can't get it done at the pro level.
