Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
I know this will sound very crappy, but I am hoping for a bad Combine performance or even low Wonderlick score, or some B.S. that will drop him to our range. Remember how Vince Young's Wonderlick score almost dropped him? Had it not been for the Tits ignoring that, Young may dropped into the teens.
Again, I know this sounds crappy, but so much is made of Combine performances. Give me the game tape.
Ask Broderick Bunkley.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Can't remember whether I mentioned Trent Edwards earlier or not as a QB to watch out for to rise, but that may not be the case, I'm not sure whether he'll be able to workout with his bust ankle, and if he can't that leaves him dead in the water for rising in my opinion.
However my latest QB to watch out for to show well in workouts is John Beck of BYU. I really liked him this year at BYU and workouts will be a real chance for him to show that he's not just a workout warrior.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Some FYI, Ravens talked to CB-Aaron Ross at Senior Bowl today. There are issues with Justin Blalock's injury.
http://story.scout.com/a.z?s=118&p=2&c=612080
Strengths:
Great athlete with fluid hips...Has an almost ideal blend of size and bulk...Leaper with very good hands and ball skills...Playmaker with a knack for being in the right place...Gives a solid effort in run support and is a pretty powerful hitter...He plays faster than he times and has top recovery speed...Elusive in the open field and is also an excellent return man...Relatively productive despite limited opportunities.
Weaknesses:
Does not have a ton of starting experience...Is not very physical and needs to get stronger...May not have elite timed speed...Is raw in terms of his technique and footwork...Will miss some tackles at times...Instincts are questionable...Gambles and take too many risks...Gives big cushions...Was he simply a one-year wonder?
Notes:
Recipient of the Thorpe Award as college football's top defensive back...Did not become a starter until his senior year...It's hard to believe this guy was a nickel and dime back for most of his college career but that's what happens when you play with the likes of Michael Huff, Cedric Griffin, Nathan Vasher, Michael Griffin and Tarell Brown...Saw his stock soar this past year and quickly bypassed Brown as the Longhorns top corner...An intriguing prospect who is definitely on the rise.It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Know what the issues are PR?
Interesting since the CB isn't even on a list yet...but seems like a Ravens guy. Samari might be out if we draft a CB day one if pittman or prude don't totally bite...then again that might be a sign they do.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
From the scout article
"Justin Blalock’s left knee was heavily wrapped today at practice. When asked about the injury he stated that he has suffered from a sprained MCL against Kansas St. in late November. He also mentioned it does effect his overall play, but at this point it is more of a mental issue than a physical one"It's a new season! It's a new day!

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
For those interested, Day One Practice highlights on now from the Senior Bowl on NFL Network. Live Day Two practices will be on at 10.30 EST.
Practices are more important than the game at the Senior Bowl, so it's worth a look in.

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
I think he plays the tripping fool part better then kyle, kyle sort of stumbles and then hits the ground, Stanton looks like he put some effort into hitting the ground.
I was really impressed today on the north squad by Josh Wilson, mcaulley (SP?) and the DE from purdue, anthony spencer.
The WR from ECU ELlison had a good day.
I'm still in the Troy Smith camp but his footwork wasn't that great and that was w/o a rish

Re: Now, Let's Talk Draft
Little things can be fixed. I don't think this team needs a huge project at QB right now.
