Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Brandon Spikes ran a 5.0 or something ridiculous like that. I'd say he plays a lot faster than that.
The 40 is more about explosion and form than being fast. That's why guys train for the 40...as in specifically train for it. The launch is the most important part.
The 40 is important, to a degree, but for a defender (especially a pass rusher) I think the 10-yard split is way more indicative of a skill set.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
What do people think about Corey Lemonier?
DE, Auburn
6'4, 246
34 Tackles, 5.5 TFL, 5.5 Sacks (2012)
Not an elite pass rushing prospect but great at setting the edge and a really instinctive intelligent player! Him and Upshaw on the outside would set the edges for a long time and both don't stop playing every snap till the whistle!
Move Suggs inside with Ngata and Jones/McPhee. Solves the problem of Cody/Kemo not fulfilling the NT/DT role and shoring up the edges on runs.

Definitely seems like the FO type of player

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Move Suggs inside? Are you nuts? Thats like asking Cary Williams playing to play safety...

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
McAdoo, Hamilton and Carr will definitely have their chances to make the team this year.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Maybe as a mid round prospect.
I'm not really in love with him though. I've watched a fair amount of SEC ball and when I see Lemonier I see a guy who is kind of a straight-line speed guy without a lot of pass rushing moves. He has a hard time fighting off OT's when they get their hands on him.
I'd much rather see us go for Tank Carradine, Brandon Jenkins, John Simon, or Travis Long if we're looking at mid round pass rushers.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I saw this mock online and have to share. I think it is quite accurate.
http://www.fieldgulls.com/2013/2/12/...cal-mock-draft
2013 Mock Draft:
1. Chiefs - A defensive lineman you are skeptical of
2. Jaguars - A player you weren't familiar with
3. Raiders - The fastest player at the combine
4. Eagles - A big name with a questionable attitude
5. Lions - A wide receiver
6. Browns - A bad QB
7. Cardinals - Surprisingly, a pick you really like
8. Bills - An "overdraft"
9. Jets - "BOOO!"
10. Titans - A phenomenal athlete
11. Chargers - A defensive player that you're surprised was still available
12. Dolphins - A reach
13. Buccaneers - A player that is "just perfect for that defense"
14. Panthers - Something compared to Julius Peppers
15. Saints - "I think this guy is going to help turnaround that defense" but then doesn't.
16. Rams - "Finally someone to help stabilize that offensive line" but then doesn't.
17. Steelers - A "hard-nosed, tough as nails" defensive player
18. Cowboys - A "steal at 18"
19. Giants - "BOOOO!"
20. Bears - A replacement for someone old
21. Bengals - I don't know but you need to post his bail first
22. Rams - "Finally someone to catch a pass" but then doesn't
23. Vikings - An elite talent or Christian Ponder
24. Colts - Unless it's the #1 overall pick, you are not familiar with this player
25. Seahawks - A guy that you either thought would go "late 2nd, early 3rd" or literally did not know existed
26. Packers - Someone "tough in the trenches"
27. Texans - Defense
28. Broncos - Literally anything from Von Miller to Tim Tebow
29. Patriots - A defensive back that disappoints
30. Falcons - A pick you genuinely like
31. 49ers - Someone that will be inactive for all of 2013
32. Ravens - A guy that actually is a steal and you have no idea why the Ravens are getting another stud defensive player
