Numark Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Here is a look at some top players who will be targeted after the draft. 1. Maryland OLB Erin Henderson He has the size and physical tools to compete for a roster spot in the NFL. Based on his production alone, we're surprised a team didn't take a chance on him in the late rounds. But his lack of instincts and medical concerns caused him to slip out of the draft. 2. Georgia Tech DE Darrell Robertson He has the size, athletic ability and production of a midround pick. However, there's nothing special about Robertson's game, and you have to wonder if there's more to him being snubbed by the draft. 3. LSU OLB Ali Highsmith As much as his 40-yard dash time at the combine hurt his draft stock, the real reason he didn't get drafted is medical concerns. Highsmith likely will need to add bulk to his frame, move to inside linebacker and prove he can hold up physically. 4. Texas S Marcus Griffin Grffin is a tough, hard-hitting safety who was able to overcome his lack of ideal range by getting early jumps on the ball in college. The problem is he has too many limitations to make an impact in the NFL. He isn't big enough to line up in the box and he lacks ideal cover skills. 5. Alabama DB Simeon Castille Castille is a Cover 2 corner whom a lot of teams projected as a possible safety. He had some character concerns earlier in his career. 6. USC G Drew Radovich Radovich is a run-of-the-mill guard who still has a good chance of making a roster if he has a strong training camp. But his lack of athletic ability and explosive power means he doesn't have a great deal of value any earlier than the seventh round. 7. Kentucky OLB Wesley Woodyard Although he's not the highest-graded player on this list, he might be the biggest surprise. After all, he showed great versatility and produced at the college level. He still has a chance to make a team because he's fast and covers kicks well. 8. Boston College S Jamie Silva Silva is undersized and lacks ideal range. In other words, he doesn't come close to having prototypical NFL measurables. However, he is a better football player than athlete. So like Woodyard, don't count him out yet. 9. Boston College ILB Jo-Lonn Dunbar Dunbar is another Eagle who doesn't wow you with his speed or athletic ability. However, he plays with a mean streak and he has a nose for the ball. 10. Oklahoma S D.J. Wolfe He played corner earlier in his career and moved to safety, He was a better fit at safety, but it took him a while to adjust. It wouldn't surprise us if he gets into the right situation in terms of scheme and coaching that he catches on a reserve who contributes in special teams. 11. Tennessee G Eric Young Young is coming off a season-ending quadriceps injury, so it's not all that shocking that he's on the list. However, he has the frame and athletic ability to develop into a starting guard if he can stay healthy. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft08/ins...tory?id=3371039 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
