Astrobot Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 RD1-Patrick Willis ILB--- Speed, Power, and Smarts. And two things Fletcher-Baker lacked--height and weight. Paul Posluszny OLB would work in a trade-down here. Levy openly wanted AJ Hawk last year; now he can get him. RD2- David Harris OLB--- Harris has the speed for the Cover2, but Beason is quick, instinctive, and mean. I know that Beason has had durability questions as well, The other name here is Earl Everett for good size and speed ratio. RD3A-Justin Durant ILB---fast, smooth, tough, fiery are all words that describe him. If you don't take Willis, get your RB and DT in RD#1 and 2 and get this guy in the 3rd. RD3B-Quincy Black OLB or Zak DeOssie ILB---Black is the better all-round player, Zak DeOssie had the faster 20 yard dash and 40 yard dash combine times. Quincy is tall ( 6-3), too light (227) for some defenses, but quick enough for our Cover2. Best DE/LB tweener, great blitzer, 4.42 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ans4e64 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 David Harris is an outstanding LB with nearly idientical combine numbers to Willis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 RD3B-Quincy Black OLB or Zak DeOssie ILB---Black is the better all-round player, Zak DeOssie had the faster 20 yard dash and 40 yard dash combine times. Quincy is tall ( 6-3), too light (227) for some defenses, but quick enough for our Cover2. Best DE/LB tweener, great blitzer, 4.42 speed. Black is 240# and had a faster 10-, 20-, and 40-yard than DeOssie, although DeOssie is bigger. Black also played against much better competition.

YOOOOOO Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 And dont forget Anthony Waters on day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Sorry, I had to eat lunch! DAY 2 LB's: RD#4: Tim Shaw OLB. Paterno's LB coach called him the fastest LB he's ever coached. Bodes well for Buffalo's OLB of the future. RD#6: Anthony Waters may not be here, as he's a RD#5-6 guy on most boards. You jump on him if he's still there in the 6th (if if we magically get the 5th Rounder). Rory Johnson OLB might be there at our 6th Rounder. He's quick (nobody beat him in the shuttle at the combine), instinctive, and nasty. He's only played 1 year at Div 1, so he's another raw, great-potential type. Perfect if you picked Willis in RD#1 to pick an OLB here. RD#7A: Desmond Bishop ILB from Cal is strong (#1 in bench reps among LB's at the combine with 33), JUCO transfer, but I like his 215 tackles in 2 seasons, and 21 tackles for loss. He'd better not be your only LB pick this year, but he has good upside. RD#7B: 6'4" Dallas Sartz OLB was elected a team captain at USC, was Top 8 in the 20-yard dash. His USC LB coach is Ken Norton Jr., and learned from Mike Singletary at the East-West Shrine Game. Three-year starter at USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 no Jon Abbate?? Too slow, too short (I know--same as LF-B). But if we wanted that prototype, we would've kept LF-B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Abbate has the heart and soul to be a football player with a 3-4, I think. Nobody will outwork him in this year's class. He's a Junior, so he'll be a good late round choice for someone. But he won't grow 3 inches by fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Here's an article that says Jack Ham thinks Posluszny was the best LB in Penn State history. Ham "It's such a different game now than when we played," Ham said. "Today, you have to be half-strong safety, half-linebacker to play. We weren't asked to cover the way these guys are. They didn't stretch the field on us. There were no three- and four-wide receiver sets. A lot of linebackers have to go to the bench in passing situations now. Not Posluszny. He does it all."

Astrobot Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 What about Timmons from FSU? I had to pick one in RD#1. Timmons is definitely 3rd behind Willis and Posluszny, and will be gone before RD#2 picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
