Astrobot Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm currently trying to read Buddy Nix's mind. He says that 75% of what you hear this time of year is lies, but I'll take him at his word that he doesn't like the lazy Coples, the short-armed Ingram, the uninspiring pick Upshaw, and the one-year wonder Mercilus as his value pass rusher, and that he'll get one later in the draft. But whom will he pick? At RD2#42: Vinny Curry[/b] from Marshall is the logical pick here. It's a little early at #42 to take Cam Johnson, who I think will fall to mid- or late-round. At RD3#74: Jake Bequette. It's between Chandler Jones (Syracuse from Endicott) and Jake Bequette (Arkansas). Jones is the better pick as a tackler; he has averaged 4-5 tackles a game for three years. But Bequette is the sack artist, with 10 sacks this year. Bequette is also more disruptive. He had 5 forced fumbles, 5 hurries, and 9.5 tackles for loss this year. Bequette's played the position 48 games to 32 games for Jones. Also from Syracuse Mikhail Marinovich Syracuse 6'4'' 245 4.67 – has started all 36 games in a row, brother Todd and his father played for Raiders You have a bunch of experienced DE's still left on the board. I think Malik Jackson could be gone by our #105. Between the others, I like Trevor Guyton. He's been productive and consistent over his career. His school, California, is also ranked highest in defense of the teams listed. McClellin's Boise defense, while decent, was ranked lowest of the lot, but McClellin's sacks accounted for the largest percentage of the team total of any of these DE's. He's light for a DE, and most will have him moving back to OLB. At RD4#105: Malik Jackson. Tennessee.(6'5" 268 46 games at DE, 7 sacks last 2 years) http://www.cfbstats.com/2010/player/694/1018257/index.html At RD4#124: Trevor Guyton. Calif. (6'3" 285 41 games at DE, 10.5 sacks last 2 years) http://www.cfbstats.com/2008/player/107/1015792/index.html At RD5#137: Shea McClellin. BoiseSt.(6-3 255 49 games at DE, 15.5 sacks last 2 years). http://www.cfbstats.com/2010/player/66/1015593/index.html At RD5#139: Jack Crawford Penn St. (6-4 273 48 games at DE, 8.5 sacks last 2 years). http://www.cfbstats.com/2010/player/539/1017984/index.html 4.69 - slowed by foot injury 2010, out 3 gm, surgery in Jan so out of spring drills. England NFP#11 At RD6, #169: Cordarro Law Southern Miss RD6 (6-2 254 DE43/OLB34, 47 games, 15 sacks last 2 years) http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/player/664/1018316/index.html Cordarro Law S.Missippi 6'2'' 254 4.68 - 10 forced fumbles in his career, which is a school record At RD7, #199: Scott Solomon Rice (6-3, 270) RD 7. NFP#21 A better overall prospect in my mind than former Rice DL Cheta Ozougwu, who ended up being selected in the 7th round last year. He's a big kid who has some pass rush ability and the size to play the run. At worst looks like a guy who can come into camp and work his way into an NFL rotation. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/college_player_scouting_report.html&player=35087 UDFA: Vince Browne DE Northwestern – 6’5″ – 265 lbs – 4th All-Time Sack Leader at Northwestern, lost reps because NU’s defense was bad and he was a victim of bad circumstances, but still had better stats than any D lineman who played. You can’t forget what he did his first 3 years he played every down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Shea McClellin + Cardarro Law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Man that list doesn't do much for me AT ALL. Maybe a couple developmental types but that's about it. And when I say developmental I mean maybe decent 2nd wave type guys. I just don't see what Nix is talking about...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I believe we'll get at least one of these guys. With the lack of talent at the top, unless we pick up a FA, I wouldn't be surprised if our starters end up Kelsay and Carrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I believe we'll get at least one of these guys. With the lack of talent at the top, unless we pick up a FA, I wouldn't be surprised if our starters end up Kelsay and Carrington. i still think kelsay is a good player/leader/locker room guy, and i still have hopes for carrington. hopefully he will find his place on this team yet!

SelmonSmith6378 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Tydreke Powell of North Carolina would be a great late round prospect I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 If we end up Picking up a quality number 2 free agent wideout to go along with Stevie Picking up a veteran DE like Mathis Drafting a OT with our first pick Drafting Vinny Curry with our 2nd That makes for a pretty good scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 could go Cam Johnson, Jake Bequette, Malik Jackson and Jonathan Massaquoi in the third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelmonSmith6378 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've actually seen Jackson play. Let me tell you...He is a great defensive end, and would be fantastic in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Cliff Avril got franchised today so there's one less DE on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
