BuffBills#1 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Even though my #1 choice would be to take Willis with the 12th pick, I just don't think he is going to be there. On yahoo they rank the top 5 at each position and the #3 rated ILB jumped out at me. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jm-i...o&type=lgns The say he is perfect for the cover 2 and can start early in his career. Say we go with Lynch in the 1st, Tank Tyler or the best available corner in the 2nd, and this LB in the 3rd. I'de be thrilled with a draft like this.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 He's 6'2 how does he sound like the next london fletcher? this is how: ...although he can get overpowered at the point of attack if a lead blocker is allowed to seek him out without being touched. Durant locates the ball quickly and plays with good balance. Some teams feel he is a little smaller than ideal to man the middle as he will need to be protected by his defensive tackles or face lead blockers who could clear him out of the way.

BuffBills#1 Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 It's wierd how Kiper's rankings are so much different from other people's rankings. Just goes to show you that someone rated in the 30's could be in the top 10 in Marv's eyes. If there is one thing I've learned with Marv so far it's that you'll never guess what he is gonna do next. Guessing who he is going to draft is pretty much pointless. Show me one person who said we'de take Whitner at 8 last year?

Alaska Darin Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Zak DeOssie's combine numbers are pretty good, plus he's obviously a smart dude (Ivy League school and all). Add to that his dad was a terrific special teamer during his decade + in the NFL and I think you have a guy to look at. Not that I know anything about him, because I don't watch a lot of college football. Just throwing it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
