Potential backups for Cutler?

Potential backups for Cutler?

Exactly. When whe get rid of Plummer, we will need backups. But anybody want any profiles.

[tommy1986]

BTW Tank Tyler plays for N.C. State, not Florida.

D-line and SAFETEYS

[BF_forever]

Laron Landry ,Safety, LSU please

[JoRo]

Donno if this has been posted but I think Leak is a potential like 2nd to 3rd rounder I hope we dont draft another qb that high

[thuglife]

i think we need a good safety i like

S Meriweather
Wendling

DL Crowder
Tyler

WR Dwayne Bowe
Dwayne Jarrett

thats what i would like to see us lean towards in the draft, but you also gotta remember, you gotta take the best available player at the time.

[The Hamburgler]

Laron Landry ,Safety, LSU please

(6'2", 202, 4.5)

Strengths: Possesses good height and adequate bulk. Shows good fluidity and top-end speed. He is an instinctive playmaker with outstanding ball skills. Takes solid angles in coverage and times his jumps well. He consistently gets a quick break on the ball and diagnoses plays very quickly. He shows good toughness and strength in run support, especially for his size. He fills hard and shows adequate power at the point of attack. Sideline-to-sideline playmaker versus the run. He has a good mental capacity and coaches rave about his ability to pick things up quickly. He is a good leader in the secondary and does a great job of getting everyone in position. He has tremendous experience as a four-year starter at the highest collegiate level. He also has been extremely versatile in LSU's secondary throughout his career.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk and still has room on his frame to get bigger. Will not be able to match up as easily in-the-box at the NFL level as he has in college. He has good athleticism for the safety position but lacks elite speed and fluidity to play cornerback fulltime at the next level.

Overall: Landry played in all 14 games (10 starts) as a true freshman in 2003 and recorded 80 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, two interceptions, four pass breakups, and one blocked kick. He was knocked out of the Arkansas game (11/28) with a concussion. In 2004, Landry started all 12 games finishing the season with 92 total tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, four interceptions, six pass breakups, and one forced fumble. He once again started every game (13) in 2005 registering 69 total tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, three interceptions, and eight pass breakups. Over the past three seasons, Landry has seen time at free safety, strong safety, and cornerback.
Landry is as close to the complete package as it gets for a safety prospect coming from the collegiate ranks. He projects as a free safety in the NFL but he has the size and tackling skills to contribute as a versatile defensive back. In our opinion, Landry projects as the top senior safety in the 2007 class and he should emerge as a first round pick in next April's draft.

[Fan in exile]

Where do these profiles come from? They seem pretty professional, and the use of the word "we" makes them a group effort?

[TU_HurricaneDB]

I get mine from ESPN.com.

Brandon Meriweather
S | (6'0", 188, 4.52) | MIAMI (FLA.)

Scouts Grade: 89

Flags: (C: CHARACTER) Problems on and off the field
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Is a versatile safety prospect with good range versus the run and pass. He lacks ideal size but fills hard versus the run. Shows better power at the point of attack as a tackler than his size would indicate. He plays with a great motor and a mean streak. He makes his presence known over the middle of the field and will throw his body around. Very reliable tackler in the open field. He shows good instincts and initial quickness. Diagnoses plays quickly and consistently takes solid angles. He has better than average range in deep zone coverage. His ball skills are adequate. Shows very good football intelligence and is a leader in the secondary. Great experience at the highest level of collegiate competition.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk and must add weight to his frame. Fills hard versus the run and can match up in-the-box at times on the collegiate level, but he is not big enough to do the same in the NFL. His shoulder surgery in 2006 is also concerning, especially for an undersized safety.

Overall: Meriweather played in three games as a true freshman in 2002, before suffering a season-ending injury, which resulted in him receiving a medical redshirt. He returned in 2003, appeared in all 13 games and recorded 22 total tackles, one interception, and five pass breakups. In 2004, Meriweather played in all 12 games (seven starts after a shoulder injury kept him out of the starting lineup for five contests) and registered 62 total tackles, two tackles for loss, two interceptions, five pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. Meriweather played in all 12 games in 2005 and finished season with 115 total tackles, 13 tackles for loss, one sack, three interceptions, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery. He underwent off-season shoulder surgery, missed spring practice in 2006, but is expected back for fall practice.
Meriweather is an experienced, instinctive and athletic safety prospect. He lacks ideal size but has room on his frame to bulk up. Durability issues could also cause him to slip in next year's draft. However, we still believe that Meriweather ranks as one of the top safety prospects in the 2007 class and he shows enough versatility to potentially play both free and/or strong safety in the NFL.


John Wendling
S | (6'0", 222, 4.4) | WYOMING

Scouts Grade: 57
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Possesses an outstanding combination of size and straight-line speed. He is thickly built and displays above average strength for a safety. Fills hard versus the run and also shows the size/strength to hold up in-the-box as a fourth-linebacker. He shows good initial pop as a tackler. Is aggressive and physical. Shows good closing burst when coming forward. Also can make up some ground when the ball is in the air. He diagnoses plays quickly and shows above average ball skills. A natural playmaker that also seems to come up with clutch plays in crucial situations. Very good starting experience. Has shown good durability throughout his career. He has developed into a leader on and off the field.

Weaknesses: Comes from the mid-major level of competition. Is somewhat stiff in the hips and lacks ideal athletic ability. Shows great speed on a straight-line, but struggles to change directions fluidly in space. Gets in trouble when he takes false steps and is forced to recover. He will take some poor angles in run support, which leads to him lunging and missing tackles in space. He also needs to improve his technique as a tackler. He lowers his head too often and seems to be a concussion waiting to happen.

Overall: Wendling was redshirted in 2002 before playing in all 12 games (one start) in 2003 and registering 17 total tackles, one pass breakup, one forced fumble, and two blocked kicks. In 2004, he started all 12 games and finished the season with 89 total tackles, three interceptions, six pass breakups, and three fumble recoveries. Wendling started all 11 games in 2005, recording 75 total tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack, three interceptions, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.
Wendling lacks ideal athleticism but his combination of size and straight-line speed are outstanding. He also impresses with his instincts, toughness and leadership. Wendling has flown under the radar throughout much of his collegiate career at Wyoming, but he deserves consideration as a mid-round safety prospect in the 2007 draft class.


Tim Crowder
DE | (6'3", 270, 4.8) | TEXAS

Scouts Grade: 87
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Plays with a mean streak, possesses adequate size and is tough at the point of attack. Plays with a non-stop motor, possesses adequate range and always seems to be around the ball at the end of the play. Takes good angles to the ball and shows good closing speed. Uses quick feet to make plays in space and is a reliable open field tackler that flashes the ability to knock the ball loose. Shows good lateral mobility, can redirect inside after starting outside and flashes a wide variety of rush moves. Has adequate lower body strength and flashes the ability to collapse the pocket. Possesses good leaping ability, times jumps well and gets hands up when isn't going to get to the quarterback. While dislocated three fingers in 2005, played in every game and is durable.

Weaknesses: Lacks elite top-end speed and is going to have some problems turning the corner at the NFL level. Doesn't always anticipate the snap well, appears a step slow at times and is inconsistent. While has good upper body strength and extend arms once in position has some problems locating the ball carrier and takes too long to shed blocks as a result. Can be overaggressive and gets caught too far upfield or inside.

Overall: Crowder played in all 13 games with nine starts as a true freshman in 2003 after stepping in for the starter who suffered a season ending injury. He finished his true freshman campaign with 35 total tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, and two forced fumbles. In 2004, Crowder became the starter at left defensive end for all 12 games and recorded 47 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. He once again started every game (13) in 2005 and earned First Team All-Big 12 honors from the coaches after making 50 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, three sacks, one interception, and one forced fumble.
Crowder is inconsistent and he doesn't have great timed speed. However, he displays the strength to develop into an effective run defender and the closing burst to make plays behind the line of scrimmage in the NFL -- versus the run and pass. As it stands right now, Crowder projects as a middle of the first-day pick.

[TU_HurricaneDB]

Tank Tyler
DT | (6'2", 310, 5.29) | NORTH CAROLINA ST

Scouts Grade: 92
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: He displays a very good combination of height, bulk and quickness. Fires off the ball quickly and generally does a good job of playing with leverage. He shows good initial pop and will knock some offensive linemen back on their heels. He has the thickness and base to anchor when he is in position. He shows some ability to penetrate when turned loose. He gives a good effort in spurts. He will take one play off but then you will see him chasing from sideline-to-sideline and down the field on other plays.

Weaknesses: Needs to prove he can be productive without star-studded cast around him. Must prove capable of consistently fighting through the double-team. He is quick in the short area but lacks ideal top-end speed and closing burst. He shows good initial pop but seems to lack ideal upper body strength, because he struggles to get off of blocks quickly enough. He also needs to improve his hand usage. A little bit too straight-lined of a player. Does not show the fluid change-of-direction skills to consistently redirect and make plays in the backfield at the NFL level. There are some concerns regarding his character and work ethic. There are reports that he does not always respond to discipline well and he has had trouble keeping his weight down. Also some concerns regarding mental capacity after poor score on Wonderlic Test (13).

Overall: Tyler graduated from high school early, joined the team in January of 2003, and then saw action in all 11 games as a true freshman making 13 total tackles. In 2004, he started all 11 games recording 33 total tackles, six tackles for loss, and one forced fumble. Tyler played in all 11 games (eight starts) in 2005 and finished the season with 40 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Tyler displays a fine combination of size and quickness. While he's not much of a pass rushing threat, he can be an effective run-stopper in a two-gap and one-gap scheme. However, Tyler has much to prove while under the spotlight as a senior now that 2006 first round picks DE Mario Williams (Texans, No. 1), DE Manny Lawson (49ers, No. 22) and DT John McCargo (Bills, No. 26) have moved on to the NFL. Tyler is a fringe first-day prospect whose stock could soar or plummet between now and next April's draft.


Dwayne Bowe
WR | (6'1", 220, 4.5) | LSU

Scouts Grade: 78
View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | NFL Draft History
You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below.


Strengths: Possesses outstanding size and adequate speed for a bigger receiver. He is a fluid and smooth athlete. Shows a high ceiling for development and continues to improve with more experience. He is learning to use his wide singspan to his advantage as a route runner. He has long arms and big hands. A potential weapon on jump-balls, fade routes, red zone, etc. His hands are extremely strong and he shows the ability to take the ball away from defenders in the air. He possesses excellent body control and balance for a bigger receiver. He lacks ideal initial burst or acceleration after the catch, but he's a shifty and physical runner that will make the first defender miss and carry the second defender a few yards before going down. Gives a good effort as a blocker and should continue to improve in this area with better technique. Certainly big and strong enough to become an effective stalk blocker in the NFL.

Weaknesses: Still an inexperienced football player, who did not play football in high school until his junior year. Needs to learn to catch the ball away from his pads more consistently and not to rely on catching the ball with his body. Lacks ideal recognition skills. Does a below average job of finding soft spots in zone coverage. Rounds off too many of his routes and must learn to get in and out of his breaks without gearing down as much. He has a tendency to loose focus on occasion and will drop some "catchable" passes. Possesses adequate speed for his size but lacks elite speed to consistently get over the top of NFL defensive backs one-on-one. He has had some minor durability issues throughout his collegiate career.

Overall: Bowe played in all 13 games for LSU as a true freshman in 2003 as the team's fourth wide receiving and made nine catches for 106 yards. In 2004, Bowe played in all 12 games and had 10 starts. He finished the year with 39 receptions for 597 yards (15.3 average) and five touchdowns. Bowe missed the 2005 opener against ASU with an ankle injury and then played in the remaining 12 games, making nine starts. He led the Tigers in receptions (41), receiving yards (710), and touchdown catches (nine), while averaging 17.3 yards per receptions.
Bowe is one of the most naturally gifted wide receiver prospects in this class. He still has room to improve in terms of his route running and recognition skills, but Bowe is a late-bloomer who continues to make noticeable strides with more playing experience. With continued progress as a senior, Bowe could warrant attention as early as the second round of the 2007 NFL draft.

[Fan in exile]

Thanks for the profiles they are great.

Could you look up Brandon Mebane?

[jhns]

I think Adam Carriker is who we will get in the first round. I have a feeling since the d-line has been so bad this season. He will be going around the time that we pick in the first round and he has all the tools that the Bronco's look for in a d-lineman. He is killer against the run and can rush the passer. The fact that he is so good against the run is the reason I think they will take him though. Also, that 6 foot 6 295 lb frame would really help add some size to this small d-line.

Actually, he may fall way down. Nebraska D-Lineman for the past few years have not lived up to their overall potential. He is right now rated eighth overall in Defensive ends, he is among the less explosive and less fast then more of his class with a 40 of 4.85, not exactly Denver numbers and he is fairly high in sacks over his Collegiate career. He may fall all the way down to late 2nd or early 3rd round...Ambiamiri could possibly fall to the early second and is far more a complete end himself. I actually believe this years class will see some real good athletes fall because of depth or kids that had one real great year to those with great long careers.

[BroncoAV06]

Good stuff!

Quincy Black LB-New Mexico

[BaileyTheBest]

Quinton Culberson- MLB Mississippi State

[tommy1986]

I don't think I want an LSU receiver (Bowe, or Doucet if he comes out). Both are immensely talented, but have a case of the drops from what I've been hearing. But, Jamarcus Russell has one of the highest completion percentages in all of college football so they can't be that bad.

Jason Hill WR Wazzou

CB, give me the profile on this guy and I'll give you a CP. :salute:

[The Hamburgler]

Good stuff!

Quincy Black LB-New Mexico

Strengths: Possesses good instincts, reads keys and rarely gets caught out of position. Possesses good initial quickness and flashes the ability to beat blockers to the point of attack. Plays with a good motor, takes good pursuit angles and always seems to be around the ball at the end of the play. Gets adequate depth and shows good range when dropping into zone coverage. Does an excellent job of reading the quarterback's eyes, possesses adequate ball skills and flashes the ability to make the big play in coverage. Shows good closing speed and takes the shortest path to the quarterback when asked to blitz. Has excellent leaping ability and times jumps well.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size and is vulnerable to wearing down when teams consistently run at him. Doesn't have great lower body strength and has problems anchoring against the run. Hasn't show great upper body strength, doesn't always use hands well and has some problems shedding blocks quickly. Has some problems changing directions quickly, footwork is inconsistent and lacks ideal man-to-man cover skills at this point. Doesn't show a variety of pass rush moves and lacks the power to run though blockers when asked to blitz.

Overall: Black originally attended Harper Community College (Chicago) in 2003 and registered 88 total tackles, 28.5 tackles for loss, and 16.5 sacks to help Harper win the JuCo National Championship. In 2004, he appeared in all 12 games as a backup linebacker and on special teams for the Lobos and made 18 total tackles and forced one fumble. Black started 10 of 11 games in 2005 finishing the year with 63 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, 19 quarterback hurries, and one interception (returned 31 yards for a touchdown).
Black is a high-motor player that rarely makes mistakes. He possesses good range versus the run and he has developed into a playmaker as a pass rusher. However, he is going to have problems holding up against the run in the NFL and he needs to polish his cover skills. In our opinion, Black projects as an early Day Two selection in the 2007 draft class.

Could you look up Brandon Mebane?

Strengths: Possesses adequate-to-good bulk. Fires off the ball quickly and with good leverage. Consistently gets good positioning and uses his strong hands and upper body to control offe4nsive linemen. He displays excellent awareness and finds the ball quickly. Shows good hand usage to disengage nad he makes a lot of plays in pursuit. His motor is non-stop. Displays good initial quickness and above average overall mobility for his size. Can hold his ground versus the run and also flashes the ability to penetrate and disrupt. Continues to improve his array of pass rush moves and he's relentless when turned loose on the quarterback.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal height and will have some trouble versus taller, bigger offensive linemen that are able to neutralize him by engulfing him. He is quick and agile, but lacks top-end speed. Does not show ideal athleticism and will not be as much of a playmaker in the NFL.

Overall: Mebane played in seven games as a true freshman in 2003 and made three total tackles, one tackle for loss, and one sack. In 2004, he played in all 12 games (nine starts) and recorded 25 total tackles, six tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. Mebane started 10 of 12 games in 2005 (slowed by an ankle injury) and was named to the All-Pac 10 first team after finishing the year with 29 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and seven sacks.
Mebane lacks ideal height, nor does he possess elite athleticism by NFL standards. However, he is a versatile, explosive, high-energy defensive tackle prospect that can anchor at the line, disrupt the run in the backfield and collapse the pocket as a pass rusher. As it stands right now, Mebane ranks among the top-five defensive tackle prospects in the 2007 NFL class.

There are a lot of good d-lineman in this draft. I wouldn't mind getting him in the second or third either though.

[BaileyTheBest]

Darn, that sucks. Culberson has been an amazing player at Mississippi State. He has played MLB, OLB, CB, and S. Shows how much attention they pay to guys from the small schools.

[BroncoAV06]

Strengths: Possesses good instincts, reads keys and rarely gets caught out of position. Possesses good initial quickness and flashes the ability to beat blockers to the point of attack. Plays with a good motor, takes good pursuit angles and always seems to be around the ball at the end of the play. Gets adequate depth and shows good range when dropping into zone coverage.

Iam a homer on this guy but I love him! Its true if he did not make the tackle he is right there anyway! He has great speed side to side! I would be glad to see him get drafted!

can you check and see if they have made a profile for quinton culberson yet?

[The Hamburgler]

can you check and see if they have made a profile for quinton culberson yet?


sorry but they havent done it yet. but I can tell you that his grade is 30 and his position rank is 23

for the grade-21-49 Borderline Draft Prospect These are players that teams like something about, but certainly do not have the full package in terms of NFL talent. A lot of times, teams will take chances on character players or developmental type athletes with this grade. And often, these are players that come from smaller schools or did not standout at the college level. NFL teams are looking for 'diamonds in the rough' with this type of prospect. He will usually rate in the bottom third of players at his position and will be considered a late round draft choice or un-drafted free agent.

Some Huskers, lol. I had a few running back prospects from other school's but I forgot who..

[BaileyTheBest]

sorry but they havent done it yet. but I can tell you that his grade is 30 and his position rank is 23

for the grade-

man that's g@y. he was first team all-sec (the best conference in the nation) and they don't give him a profile. i have a feeling he will be one of those "diamond in the rough" players they are talking about.

[The Hamburgler]

Zac Taylor, QB



Strengths: Is a much improved prospect that has made significant strides in the West Coast offense as a junior and senior. His accuracy, touch and timing continue to improve with more experience. He has become far more confident in his reads, as well as in his own ability. Shows good poise under pressure and reads defenses fairly well. Puts good touch on passes underneath. Possesses adequate mobility, throws well on the run and can execute bootlegs and roll outs effectively. Has adequate foot-quickness, shows good presence and can buy time in the pocket. A tough runner and competitive player. Has played for three different schools so has experience in different schemes. Is intelligent and picks up new schemes quickly. Plays with good toughness and is a leader on the field.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal overall physical tools. Possesses below average height and bulk. Arm strength is adequate at best. Does not display a strong arm to fit the ball into tight spots. Will struggle to make some of the NFL throws. He needs to keep the ball higher in his drops and he has a tendency to drop the ball down before delivering it. He's too slow on his delivery. He can still be too streaky as a passer and will occasionally lose the strike zone. While he shows good agility in the pocket, lacks ideal speed and isn't a dangerous open field runner. Lacks ideal bulk, fights for yards after contact and sustained a concussion during the 2004 season, so durability is somewhat of a concern.

Overall: Taylor originally attended Wake Forest, where he was redshirted as a freshman in 2002 and then served as the backup for the 2003 season, when he completed his only passing attempt. In 2004, Taylor transferred to Butler County Community College (Kansas) where he was named an NJCAA All-American after throwing for nearly 3,000 yards and 29 touchdowns. Taylor also led Butler County CC to the NJCAA Championship game that season. Prior to the 2005 season, Taylor transferred to Nebraska, where he won the starting quarterback position after a wide-open competition for the job. He finished the year completing 55-percent of his attempts for 2,653 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Taylor was also sacked 38 times in 2005.
Taylor does not possess good mobility, arm strength or size but he is adequate in all three areas and he has made huge progress over the course of his last two seasons at Nebraska. Ultimately, Taylor shows enough potential to eventually develop into a quality NFL reserve in a West Coast offensive scheme, which is why his grade has elevated to the mid-round range of the 2007 draft.

[The Hamburgler]

Stewart Bradley, LB


Strengths: Reads keys quickly, possesses adequate initial quickness and flashes the ability to beat blockers to the point of attack. Uses hands fairly well, has adequate upper body strength and flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly. Possesses excellent instincts and rarely gets caught out of position. Has adequate size, generally plays with good leverage and flashes the ability to anchor. Plays with a non-stop motor and takes excellent angles to the ball. Wraps up upon contact and is a reliable open field tackler. Gets good depth and reads the quarterback's eyes when asked to drop into zone coverage. Does a good job of anticipating the snap, takes the shortest path to the quarterback and is a relentless pass rusher.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal closing speed and isn't an explosive open field tackler that is going to force a lot of fumbles. Doesn't have great top-end speed and lacks sideline-to-sideline range. Has some problems changing directions quickly, doesn't show a second gear when tracking the ball downfield and lack ideal man-to-man cover skills. Doesn't have great ball skills and isn't a playmaker in coverage. Missed most of the 2005 season because of serious knee injury and durability is a concern.

Overall: Bradley was redshirted in 2002 before playing in all 13 games as a backup defensive end in 2003 and recording six total tackles. In 2004, he started 10 of 11 games at strong-side linebacker and finished the season with 67 total tackles and 11 tackles for loss. Bradley started the first five games in 2005, made 26 total tackles, five tackles for loss, three sacks, and one interception (returned 43 yards for a touchdown) before suffering a season-ending knee injury (torn ACL) against Texas Tech (10/8) that required surgery.
Bradley possesses a good combination of instincts, size and tenacity but he is a better football player than he is an athlete. His knee injury is also reason for concern. Bradley projects as an early second-day pick in 2007.

Jay Moore, DE




Strengths: Is tall, well-built and thick. Display good overall size as a power-end type. Plays with solid leverage and shows enough of a base to take on blockers when teams run at him. He has long arms and adequate upper body strength to maintain separation. He plays with a great motor and shows a lot of toughness. Displays adequate power as a bull rusher. Relentless in pursuit and will provide some pressure on quarterbacks because of his effort. A hard worker on-and-off the field. Maximizes his physical tools because of his high effort and attention to detail.

Weaknesses: Possesses adequate top-end speed but lacks ideal closing burst to the quarterback. Possesses below average athleticism and can look stiff when forced to quickly change directions and pursue. He will miss some tackles in space because of his inability to redirect. Displays limited range versus the run. He will never possess the explosiveness or agility to consistently contribute as an edge rusher in the NFL.

Overall: Moore was redshirted as a freshman in 2002 and did not see game action as a reserve defensive end in his redshirt freshman season in 2003. As a sophomore in 2004, Moore played in every game and started four (Weeks 3-6), finishing with 21 total tackles, including seven tackles for loss and three sacks. Moore took over as a fulltime starter in 2005, when he finished with 37 tackles, 14 tackles for loss and three sacks in 12 games.
Moore has been a more consistent performer than teammate Adam Carriker throughout their respective careers at Nebraska, but it's evident that Carriker possesses far more upside as an NFL prospect. Moore has enough size, strength, quickness and toughness to develop into a contributor at the next level, but his limited explosiveness and athleticism will likely prevent him from ever emerging as a starter. Moore should come off the 2007 draft board in the middle rounds.

[The Hamburgler]

Matt Herian, TE

Strengths: When healthy, he is a fine athlete with above average speed at the position. Gets off the LOS quickly and is a sharp route runner. shows good body control and balance. Is crisp out of his cuts and shows the ability to get in and out of his breaks without having to gear down as much as most TE's. He has savvy as a receiver. Uses his body to shield defenders. Has the speed and athletic ability to stretch the seam on a consistent basis in the NFL. His hands are outstanding. He has great concentration and will look the ball in when in a crowd. He can pluck on the run and will adjust to the poorly thrown ball. Shows the ability to consistently catch over his head. Gets upfield quickly after the catch and is a tough runner with good quickness and speed for the position. He is a technically sound blocker. Stronger upper body than lower body. Takes good angles and does a consistent job of getting in position. Plays with a mean streak and will work to finish. Is undersized but has the frame to get bigger.

Weaknesses: Durability is a mammoth concern, as he has not played in a game since suffering a devastating leg injury in October 2004. He lacks ideal size. Has a narrow base and gets overmatched physically as an in-line blocker versus bigger, more powerful DE's or SLB's. He must improve his lower body strength and show a more consistent ability to generate a push in the running game.

Overall: Herian played as a backup tight end during his true freshman season in 2002, when he finished with seven catches for 301 yards He took over as a fulltime starter as a sophomore in 2003, when he tied for the team lead in receptions with 22 catches and led Nebraska with 484 receiving yards. In 2004, he was the team's leading receiver with 24 catches for 308 yards when he suffered a season-ending broken left leg versus Missouri. He missed the final three games of that season and hasn't played a game since. A nagging hamstring injury prevented him from participating in much of spring practice in 2006.
When healthy, Herian has proven to be a dangerous weapon in the passing game. However, on top of his glaring durability issues, Herian is an undersized prospect that has never been a great blocker. He also has not played in a game in nearly two years. As a result, Herian has unfortunately become somewhat of a forgotten man in NFL scouting circles. Returning to form in 2006 would help to put Herian back on the map, but no team will risk a first day pick on a player that is far too unreliable at this point.

Andre Caldwell

[The Hamburgler]

Andre Caldwell


Here you go. Its wierd, I was just looking at that one.


Strengths: Possesses adequate size. Is a consistent performer with good instincts and recognition skills. Is quicker than fast. Does a good job of finding soft spots in zone coverage. He shows good overall focus and soft hands. He gets in and out of his breaks quickly. Is able to pluck on the run and get upfield without losing much in transition. Shows good quickness and elusiveness after the catch -- will consistently elude the first defender. Runs hard after the catch and isn't afraid to lower his shoulder to initial contact. He's extremely competitive and will compete for the ball in traffic. He is an aggressive receiver and stalk blocker. Gives a good effort when blocking and works to sustain. He shows good overall versatility, as a receiver with experience in the slot and split out wide, as well as being used on reverses. He also has experience returning kicks and shows some upside as a potential contributor in that area in the NFL.

Weaknesses: Durability is now a concern following season-ending leg injury in 2005. He has adequate size and adequate-to-good speed, but he lacks elite qualities in either category. Lacks ideal bulk and strength. May struggle to get off the line of scrimmage as easily in the NFL. Gets pushed around at times as a receiver and will get lost in traffic too frequently as a result. Also lacks ideal strength as a blocker. Despite effort, he occasionally fails to sustain blocks once he has locked on.

Overall: Brother of Reche Caldwell, a former Gator and Chargers' second-round pick in 2002. Andre Caldwell moved from wide receiver to quarterback as a senior in high school and led his team to a state championship. Caldwell saw action in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2003 as a backup receiver and returns specialist. He finished the year with 19 catches for 174 yards (9.2 average). Caldwell started all 12 games in 2004 at wide receiver and caught 43 passes for 689 yards (16 average) and three touchdowns. In 2005, Caldwell started the first three games of the season (10 receptions for 148 yards) before suffering a season-ending broken leg against Tennessee (9/17). Over the past three seasons, Caldwell has returned a total of 37 kicks for 752 yards (20.3 average) and carried the ball eight times for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
Caldwell lacks ideal size or elite speed, which puts somewhat of a ceiling on his draft potential. The bigger concern red flag, however, is the fact that Caldwell is attempting to return from a serious leg injury that cost him the final nine games of the 2005 season. Prior to the injury, he was a versatile playmaker and a reliable target at the wide receiver position. If Caldwell returns to form, he could emerge as a second round draft pick in the 2007 class.

[MindField]

Actually, he may fall way down. Nebraska D-Lineman for the past few years have not lived up to their overall potential. He is right now rated eighth overall in Defensive ends, he is among the less explosive and less fast then more of his class with a 40 of 4.85, not exactly Denver numbers and he is fairly high in sacks over his Collegiate career. He may fall all the way down to late 2nd or early 3rd round...Ambiamiri could possibly fall to the early second and is far more a complete end himself. I actually believe this years class will see some real good athletes fall because of depth or kids that had one real great year to those with great long careers.


This may be true of the past, but Carriker and Jay Moore are players for Nebraska.
Carriker will be a first rounder if he works out as well as expected.

I've read that this guy is projected to be a late rounder (6th-7th round) and when I saw him play, he played well, so he might be a good backup for Cutler.

I would love chris leak on the broncos. Well here you go

Strengths: Possesses above-average arm strength and will flash the ability to pick apart a defense as a pocket passer. He shows good touch and timing on most short-to-intermediate throws. Gets very good zip on deep-out throws. He is tough to defend when he gets into a rhythm and has time to throw. He makes good decisions when given the time to make progression reads as a pocket passer. He will do a good job of checking off his primary target and shows the ability to see the entire field when protected. He's not a great runner, but he does possess above average quickness and athletic ability. He buys a lot of second-chance passing opportunities with his pocket awareness and mobility. Shows adequate efficiency when throwing on the run. He is a hard worker and a "gym-rat" type that loves to log hours in the film room. He is a solid leader with good intelligence and high character. Has shown great determination bouncing back from a poor 2005 season and is a team-player that has handled a quarterback-rotation very well.

Weaknesses: Possesses marginal height and below-average bulk. He seems to lack ideal toughness. Is hesitant to tuck the ball and run. The more hits he takes in a game the less effective he becomes, as he will start to bail out, throw off his back foot and put the ball up for grabs. He has trouble finding passing windows when working inside the pocket at times and gets too many passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. He has a tendency to sail a lot of his throws, especially over the middle. Has spent a lot of time working out of the shotgun in college and will need to adjust to taking snaps from under center and reading coverages while dropping more often in the NFL. While has improved in both of these areas, still needs do a better job of picking up the blitz and cut down on mental errors. He possesses adequate speed and above average athletic ability, but he is not much of a threat to run and he seems to lack instincts as a ball carrier. Possesses smaller hands and has had some problems protecting the football.

Overall: Leak began his freshman year in 2003 as part of a quarterback rotation with Ingle Martin and Gavin ****ey for the first four games before taking over as the fulltime starter for last nine. He finished the year completing 59-percent of his passes for 2,435 yards with 16 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors. Leak started every game during his true sophomore season in 2004, passing for 3,197 yards with a 60-percent completion percentage, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He was named to the All-SEC Second Team that season. In 2005, during his first season under head coach Urban Meyer, Leak's passing yards fell to 2,639 and his touchdown's dropped to 20, but he completed 63-percent of his attempts and he was only intercepted six times. Leak added six rushing touchdowns last season.
Leak is not a good fit in Urban Meyer's spread-offensive attack at Florida. His lack of toughness and hesitancy to run were exposed during a disappointing junior campaign in 2005. Leak also seemed to lose confidence and rarely was able to get into a rhythm as a passer in the film we viewed. That said, Leak has bounced back and shown great resiliency as a senior. In our opinion, Leak still has enough upside as a passer and scrambler to warrant second-day consideration as a developmental project in 2007 but his marginal size and perceived lack of toughness will keep him out of the draft's first three rounds.

I don't think I want an LSU receiver (Bowe, or Doucet if he comes out). Both are immensely talented, but have a case of the drops from what I've been hearing. But, Jamarcus Russell has one of the highest completion percentages in all of college football so they can't be that bad.

How about Gaines Adams, DE?

[The Hamburgler]

wat about amobi okoye


Strengths: Possesses adequate initial quickness, does an adequate job of anticipating the snap and can beat blockers to the point of attack when fresh. Possesses good upper body strength, plays with a mean streak and flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly. Has good bulk and flashes the ability to anchor when teams run at him. Takes good angles to the ball and possesses adequate range. Possesses adequate lower body strength and flashes the ability to collapse the pocket.

Weaknesses: Plays too high at times and can't anchor working against double teams when doesn't play with good leverage. Lacks ideal athletic ability and doesn't appear comfortable in space. Doesn't show the ability to redirect inside after starting outside and doesn't show a variety of pass rush moves. Lacks ideal closing speed, doesn't have elite explosiveness and is a better run defender than pass rusher at this point. Appears to wear down late in games, doesn't always play with a great motor and conditioning will always be critical to success. While durability isn't a significant concern at this point, he missed the 2005 Florida Atlantic game with a foot injury and missed one game because of a shoulder injury in 2004.

Overall: Okoye arrived at Louisville in 2003 as a 16-year old true freshman and played in all 13 games registering 17 total tackles, two tackles-for-loss, and one sack. In 2004, he played in 11 games (one start; Army), missed the ECU game with a shoulder injury, and made 26 total tackles, two tackles-for-loss, and one sack for the year. Okoye started 10 of the 11 games he played in during the 2005 season, missed the Florida Atlantic game with a foot sprain, and finished the season with 23 total tackles, four tackles-for-loss, 0.5 sacks, and three fumble recoveries.
Okoye isn't fundamentally sound and he needs to keep his weight down to be effective. However, he is a young developmental-prospect that has the bulk to develop into an effective run stuffer and enough quickness to improve his ability to rush the passer. He projects as a first-day pick

[The Hamburgler]

How about Gaines Adams, DE?

Strengths: Possesses adequate-to-good height, decent bulk but room on his frame to get bigger. Very agile for the position. Displays explosive first-step quickness and good top-end speed as an edge rusher. Displays very good instincts and awareness when rushing the passer. Has long arms, times his jumps well and does a great job of batting down passes at the line of scrimmage. He also has shown good fluidity when occasionally asked to drop in coverage on zone blitzes. Plays with good discipline versus the run and does a fine job of leveraging the backside. He gets upfield quickly and can be disruptive in the backfield versus the run. Also shows very good change-of-direction skills in space, which allows him to redirect and pursue as a run defender. He is a reliable tackler in space and also will make some plays when pursuing ball carriers from behind. He is a hard worker with solid all-around intangibles.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk and lower body strength. He needs to be more aggressive as a run defender at times. He absorbs too many blocks and doesn't do a consistent enough job of disengaging once reached. Needs to play with more consistent leverage versus the run. Has a tendency to come out of his stance too high and will allow linemen to get into his pads too frequently.

Overall: Adams was redshirted in 2002. He saw action in 12 games as a backup defensive end for the 2003 season, registering 15 total tackles, four tackles for loss, and one sack. Adams played in all 11 contests with just one start (Texas A&M) in 2004 but did win Clemson's defensive 12th man award after recording 35 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, five sacks, and two blocked punts. In 2005, he took over as the starting "bandit" DE and made 56 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, 29 quarterback pressures, and three forced fumbles.
Adams was seriously considering taking the NFL plunge but he was getting mixed signals regarding his draft value in 2006. Instead of risking disappointment, Adams made the wise decision to return to Clemson for his final season of eligibility. If he picks up where he left off during the second-half of 2005 (16 QB pressures in the Tigers' final six games), Adams should solidify a spot in the first round of the 2007 draft.

[The Hamburgler]

Stevie Hicks, RB, Iowa State

Strengths: Possesses adequate lower body strength, runs hard and rarely goes down with the first hit. Possesses good quickness, flashes the ability to turn the corner and shows good burst through the hole when running between the tackles. Has good vision, possesses adequate lateral mobility and can cut back given the opportunity. Practices sound ball security and rarely puts the ball on the ground. Plays with good intensity, shows good awareness and is a willing pass blocker.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal top-end speed, doesn't show a second gear in the open field and isn't going to outrun defenses when gets a seam. Lacks elite lower body strength and has some problems pushing the pile in shirt-yardage situations. Doesn't have elite size and isn't going to wear a defense down over the course of the game. Doesn't have much experience catching the ball and needs to improve in this area. Missed most of the first half of the 2006 season because of injuries, groin and ankle injuries slowed him throughout that year, slowed by a turf toe injury during the 2003 season and durability is an issue.

Overall: Hicks arrived at Iowa State in 2002 and was redshirted. He played in 11 games in 2003, made five starts, and missed one game with tuff toe that hindered his performance early in the season. He finished the season with 123 carries for 471 yards (3.8 average) and caught 14 passes for 40 yards. In 2004, Hicks carried 270 times for 1,062 yards (3.9 average), scored five touchdowns, and caught nine passes for 49 yards. Injuries cost Hicks three entire games and the better part of three more in 2005. For the season, he carried 149 times for 545 yards (3.7 average) and 4 touchdowns, and caught eight passes for 39 yards.
Hicks has the burst and vision to develop into an effective situational back in the NFL. However, he isn't elite in any one area so it's unlikely he ever develops into a starter. As such, Hicks grades out as a mid-to-late round prospect in the 2007 NFL draft.

[The Hamburgler]

Brent Curvey, DT, Iowa State


Strengths: Is active and uses quick feet to make it difficult for linemen to sustain blocks. Plays with a mean streak, uses hands fairly well and can shed blocks quickly. Possesses adequate lower body strength and flashes the ability to anchor when plays with sound technique. Plays with a non-stop motor, takes good angles to the ball and has adequate range. Stays balanced and rarely gets knocked to the ground. Shows good instincts, rarely gets caught out of position and always seems to be around the ball at the end of the play. Has an explosive first step, does a good job of anticipating the snap and flashes the ability to get into the backfield quickly. Possesses good leaping ability, times jumps well and can get hands up in passing windows.

Weaknesses: Lacks elite size and is vulnerable to wearing down when teams consistently run at him. Doesn't have elite lower body strength and has problems anchoring working against double teams. Lacks ideal closing speed and isn't going to chase many backs down from behind. Can be overaggressive and gets caught out of position at times.

Overall: Curvey played in 11 games (six starts) during his true freshman season in 2003 and finished the year with 63 total tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, two sacks, one fumble recovery, and one forced fumble. In 2004, he saw action in all 12 games recording 52 total tackles, five tackles-for-loss, 1.5 sacks, and two fumble recoveries, returning both for touchdowns. Curvey earned Second-Team All-Big 12 honors (coaches, Associated Press) in 2005 after playing in all 12 games and registering 61 total tackles, nine tackles-for-loss, eight sacks, one fumble recovery, and one interception which he returned for his third career touchdown.
Curvey has marginal size and he isn't dominant in any one area, but he is a disruptive run defender and a relentless pass rusher. In our opinion, Curvey warrants attention in the mid-to-late round range of the 2007 draft.

[The Hamburgler]

joe staley
Strengths: Has good initial quickness, takes good angles to blocks and generally gets into good position. Plays with a good motor, does an adequate job of locking onto defender's frame and is relentless once in position. Possesses great range and pulls well. Possesses good lateral mobility and flashes the ability to reach defensive tackles lined up inside of him. Plays under control in space and can adjust to the moving target at the second level. Gets set quickly and uses long arms to ride edge rushers past the pocket. Possesses good lateral mobility, can redirect inside after starting outside and is capable of countering double moves when plays with sound technique.

Weaknesses: While has added weight to frame, is still somewhat undersized and isn't going to overwhelm defenders at the point of attack. Doesn't deliver a violent initial punch, doesn't roll hips into blocks and isn't going to knock defenders back. Lacks ideal lower body strength and is going to have problems driving defenders off the ball. Doesn't always get great knee bend in pass set and is vulnerable to bull rushers.

Overall: Staley played in 11 games as a tight end during his true freshman year in 2003, catching 11 passes for 130 yards and one touchdown. In 2004 he was converted to right tackle where he started all 11 games for the Chippewas. Staley again started all 11 games in 2006, this time at left tackle, and did not allow a sack.
Staley isn't a powerful drive blocker but he has the quickness and athletic ability to develop into an effective backup for a team that runs a pass-heavy offense or features zone blocking. He projects as a second-day pick.

[The Hamburgler]

lamaar woodley


Strengths: Possesses good bulk for his shorter frame and excellent top-end speed for a 'tweener DE/OLB type. He is at his best when allowed to spend the majority of his time working up the field. Does a good job of finding the ball and quickly disengaging in order to pursue. He never gives up on a play and he displays an outstanding motor. He shows excellent first-step quickness and is extremely disruptive as a pass rusher. Displays the athleticism and versatility to effectively rush the passer and drop in coverage in the NFL. He is a powerful tackler with a mean streak. Impact player that always seems to be in on the big play.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal height. Has trouble stacking at the line of scrimmage versus taller, bigger OT's and TE's. He will play too high at times and allows blockers to get into his pads or cut his legs out from under him too frequently. Minor durability issues after missing time in 2005 with forearm injury.

Overall: Woodley played in all 13 games (two starts) at defensive end during his true freshman season in 2003 and finished the year with 23 total tackles, four tackles for loss, and two sacks. He then played in 12 games (10 starts) at outside linebacker in 2004, registering 70 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, four sacks, and three forced fumbles. In 2005, Woodley played in 11 games (eight starts) at "rush linebacker" but missed time in three games with a forearm injury. For the year, he recorded 48 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, five sacks, one fumble recovery, and three forced fumbles.
Woodley is a classic fit as a rush-linebacker, which is the position he plays for the Wolverines. He lacks ideal height and he won't be a good fit as a traditional defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. However, Woodley has the speed, power and vicious mentality it takes to succeed as a versatile starter in the proper scheme at the NFL level. Woodley can improve on his first-day status with a productive and healthy senior season in 2006.

When is says scouts grade, is it out of 100?

[The Hamburgler]

When is says scouts grade, is it out of 100?

Yes. Here is the Scale

`90-100 Rare Prospect Player demonstrates rare abilities and can create mismatches that have an obvious impact on the game. Is a premier college player that has all the skill to take over a game and play at a championship level. He rates in the top 5 players in the nation at his position and is considered a first round draft prospect.
`80-89 Outstanding Prospect Player has abilities to create mismatches versus most opponents in the NFL. A feature player that has an impact on the outcome of the game. Cannot be shut down by a single player and plays on a consistent level week in and week out. He rates in the top 10 at his position and is considered a second round draft prospect.
`70-79 Solid Prospect Still a standout player at the college level that is close to being an elite player. He has no glaring weaknesses and will usually win his individual matchups, but does not dominate in every game, especially when matched up against the top players in the country. He will usually rate in the top third of players at his position and is considered a third round draft prospect.
`60-69 Good Prospect This player is an good starter that will give a solid effort week in and week out, but he is overmatched versus the better players in the nation. His weaknesses will be exposed against top competition. He is usually a prospect that is missing something from his game. For example, he has the size and skills to be an outstanding prospect, but lacks the speed. He will usually rate in the top half of the players at his position and is considered a middle round draft choice.
`50-59 Adequate Prospect These are usually players that play at a high level in college, but lack some measurables or skills to play at that same level in the NFL. He may be a player that has a lot of developmental qualities, or could be a player that will contribute right away on special teams or in a situational capacity. He will usually rate in the second-third at his position and is considered a fifth round draft choice.
`21-49 Borderline Draft Prospect These are players that teams like something about, but certainly do not have the full package in terms of NFL talent. A lot of times, teams will take chances on character players or developmental type athletes with this grade. And often, these are players that come from smaller schools or did not standout at the college level. NFL teams are looking for 'diamonds in the rough' with this type of prospect. He will usually rate in the bottom third of players at his position and will be considered a late round draft choice or un-drafted free agent.
`20 Free Agent Prospect These are players that did not make our original 'evaluation list' but are prospects that need to be monitored. Especially in the pre-season, these players will fluctuate up and down depending on performance in their final year of eligibility.
`10 Not a legitimate Prospect These are players that lack NFL measurables and/or skills. They are players that we feel would not even make a solid contribution as a training camp body.

[yamon4broncos]

This guy is deffinately worth a look. He is a return specialist with speed to spare. He could make an impact like Devin Hester made with Chicago. He runs a 4.29 forty and he is just a flat out playmaker.

I'm just saying to keep an eye out for him. He will be returning kicks next year for somebody and I think that is deffinately a place where we could improve.

He is not as good as hester returning punts and might be a UDFA. I like sophomore Jordy Nelson, who cranks out a 4.36 40 on a 6-3 210 frame on his team. Of course his number were mainley effected by the QB's inconsistancies and might as well be a 6th or 7th round sleeper.

I do not think we focus on him do to hixon being healthy next year and our special teams picking up towards end of season.

I would grade him at 36 on that chart above.

[gyldenlove]

Can we get the lowdown on Ray Mcdonald?

[The Hamburgler]

Can we get the lowdown on Ray Mcdonald?

Strengths: Possesses good athleticism for his size. A versatile prospect with experience at defensive end and defensive tackle. He has some upside as an interior pass rusher because of his initial quickness and burst. He shows good upper body power and flashes some power moves as a pass rusher. He gives a good effort in terms of pursuing the run. He is at his best in space and shows good mobility. Is a solid wrap-up tackler with some power at the point of attack.

Weaknesses: Durability is a significant issue after missing the majority of the 2005 season with two separate knee injuries. Lacks ideal top-end speed as a perimeter pass rusher but also lacks the size of an every-down defensive tackle in the NFL. He needs to play with more consistent leverage. Too high out of his stance and allows offensive linemen to get into his pads too frequently. He does a poor job of anchoring at the line of scrimmage versus the run. Gets pushed around too much and displays a narrow base. Tries to stay off of blocks at times when he should take them on, which leads to poor pursuit angles and occasionally leaving his defensive scheme vulnerable.

Overall: McDonald was redshirted in 2002 while practicing at defensive end. He moved to defensive tackle for the 2003 season, won a starting spot for the year (12 games), made 54 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, four sacks, and forced two fumbles. McDonald played in 11 games in 2004 (seven starts), recorded 39 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, three sacks, and one fumble recovery. In 2005, he switched back to defensive end, started the first three games before having knee surgery that forced him to sit out the next three contests. McDonald returned, appearing in two more games before having season-ending left knee surgery. For the year, he made eight tackles, three tackles for loss, and one sack.
McDonald is a 'tweener DE/DT prospect with experience at both positions at the collegiate level. While he may be forced to settle on one position in the NFL, we think he has the potential to contribute in a hybrid role. He is quick enough to make an impact as an interior pass rusher, but he must improve his lower-body strength and technique versus the run in order to compete for an every-down role in the NFL. Regardless, McDonald is a fringe first-day prospect that must rebound from an injury-riddled 2005 season in order to maximize his draft stock.

Lorenzo Booker, RB, Florida State

Jon Davis, WR, Iowa State

Austin Flynn, WR, Iowa State

[The Hamburgler]

Lorenzo Booker, RB, Florida State

Strengths: A versatile running back prospect with homerun potential as a runner, receiver and return specialist. He shows outstanding initial burst and overall quickness. Explodes through the line of scrimmage and will quickly bounce inside runs to the outside. He displays the speed to consistently turn the corner as an outside runner. His vision as a runner is above average. He is extremely elusive and will consistently make defenders miss in space. He has great experience as a receiver. Shows good instincts and route running skills. Does a very good job of separating from coverage, as well as coming back to his quarterback when necessary. He displays soft hands and the ability to adjust to the poorly thrown ball. Can pluck on the run and is extremely dangerous when he catches the ball on the move in space. Is aggressive and technically sound as a pass blocker.

Weaknesses: Is undersized. Lacks ideal height and possesses marginal bulk. Is taken down too easily and fails to consistently generate yards after initial contact. Below average inside runner; will not push the pile. Has never carried a full load and does not project as a fulltime starter in the NFL. Will get overwhelmed at the point of attack as a blocker and will struggle to consistently match up in that facet of the game at the next level. Durability is a long-term concern due to marginal size and past injuries (ankle, knee) that kept him out of games in 2003. He also was limited by a deep thigh bruised suffered vs. Boston College (10/21) as a senior in 2006.

Overall: Booker was redshirted in 2002. As a redshirt freshman in 2003, Booker played in 10 of FSU's 13 games and missed three games with a sprained knee ligament and sprained ankle. He finished the year with 62 carries for 334 yards (5.4 average), three touchdowns and caught 19 passes for 86 yards. Booker appeared in all 12 games and made two starts in 2004 amassing 887 yards rushing on 173 carries (5.1 average) and four touchdowns. He added 24 catches for 160 yards in the passing game including at least one catch in each regular season contest. Booker played in all 13 games and made three starts in 2005 leading FSU in rushing attempts (119), yards (552), and rushing touchdowns (four) while averaging 4.6 yards per carry. He also caught 38 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns.
Booker has never proven capable of being the premier back in college and he clearly lacks the size and strength to handle a full load at the next level. However, Booker's versatility remains his greatest asset. He possesses the speed, elusiveness and hands to contribute as a third-down back and return specialist in the NFL, which is why he could still come off the board late on Day 1 despite failing to live up to expectations at Florida State.

[Ed Canfield]

Baraka Atkins - DE
Kenny Irons - RB

[GridironGuru]

Sydney Rice W.R.

[The Hamburgler]

Kenny Irons - RB

Strengths: A shifty downhill runner. He shows good initial quickness and burst through the hole. Is fast enough to consistently turn the corner as an outside runner. Displays impressive body control and change-of-direction skills. His vision and patience as a runner are very good and should only improve with more experience. He reads blocks very well, particularly when working in I-formation behind a fullback. Shows a second gear in the open field and also make defenders miss with effective spin-move in space. Runs harder than "measurables" would indicate. Very competitive. Drives his legs after initial contact and will break lots of tackles with his lower-body strength. Shows a knack for falling forward at the end of runs. Has upside if his route-running skills improve with more experience. He gives a good effort and will get in position as a blocker in pass pro.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size. Possesses decent height and below average bulk. Needs to get bigger and stronger in order to carry a full load in the NFL. Runs a bit high at times. Does not show the size/strength to consistently run over defenders one-on-one in space. Durability is a concern, especially after nagging injuries limited his carries in 2006. Gives a good effort as a blocker but struggles to hold his ground and will get run over at times by bigger blitzing linebackers. Gets knocked back into the quarterback too frequently. His hands are inconsistent and he needs work in that department. Lacks ideal experience as a receiver and still needs work in terms of his recognition skills and overall route running.

Overall: Irons originally attended South Carolina and saw action as a true freshman in 2002 in nine games, making one start. He rushed for 201 yards on 47 carries (4.3 average) and caught four passes for 63 yards and one touchdown. In 2003, Irons played in only five games with one start. He tallied 51 yards on 19 carries and one touchdown on the ground with two catches for eight yards. Irons then transferred to Auburn and sat out the 2004 season. In 2005, Irons played in 12 games and made nine starts. He finished the year with team-high totals in carries (256), rushing yards (1,293), and rushing touchdowns (13) and averaged just over five yards per carry. He also caught 14 passes for 164 yards.
Irons displays an impressive combination of power, vision and speed when healthy, and he proved capable of being Auburn's premier back in 2005. However, while he has shown toughness in attempting to play through nagging injuries as a senior, his production has tailed off considerably and doubts regarding his ability to carry a fulltime load in the NFL have increased. Irons is still regarded as a first-round prospect but his stock has dipped in 2006. Depending on how many underclassmen running backs enter the 2007 draft, Irons should come off the board in the middle of the first round.

[The Hamburgler]

Baraka Atkins - DE



Strengths: Possesses very good agility for his size. Versatile defensive lineman with experience at DE, DT and NT in a 4-3 scheme. He fires out of his stance with excellent quickness and leverage. Shows the initial burst to consistently penetrate inside. He is very quick and powerful in the short-area. He penetrates, finds the ball quickly and shows the ability to redirect seamlessly when necessary. An explosive tackler with good power. He displays good power moves as a pass rusher. Does a nice job of standing the offensive lineman up with an initial power move, and then change directions once his opponent is off-balance. He gives a very good effort on the field and will pursue relentlessly until the whistle. He has had some nicks throughout his career but for the most part he has been durable. Also has great experience.

Weaknesses: Is an undersized collegiate DT that will need to find a niche in the NFL. Lacks the bulk and base to hold up as an every-down DT. Also lacks top-end speed and ideal athleticism as an edge rusher. He is quick enough to penetrate along the interior but he lacks the first-step quickness and closing burst to generate consistent pressure at DE.

Overall: Atkins received a redshirt in 2002. He returned as a redshirt freshman in 2003, played in all 13 games (12 starts), and collected 43 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, and three forced fumbles. Atkins started in all 12 games in 2004 splitting time between defensive end and defensive tackle. For the year he made 33 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles (returning one for a touchdown). In 2005, Atkins played in all 12 games with 11 starts (did not start vs. Clemson; sprained knee) at defensive tackle and registered 26 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, five sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Atkins will have spent the majority of his playing time at defensive tackle once his career at Miami concludes, but his inadequate size will require him to transition back to defensive end in the NFL. Regardless, Atkins displays enough agility and pass-rushing instincts to make an impact -- either as a fulltime starter or situational player -- at the next level. Improved his consistency versus the run as a senior could land Atkins a spot on the first-day of next year's draft.

[The Hamburgler]

Sydney Rice W.R.

Strengths: Possesses an outstanding frame. Is tall with long arms and big hands. Is a fluid and smooth athlete, especially for his size. He looks effortless as a vertical route runner and is deceptively fast. He does a great job of tracking the ball down in the air. Adjusts well to the poorly thrown pass. Displays excellent balance and body control, especially when working the sideline. He possesses outstanding hands. Will pluck on the run and does a good job of catching the ball away from his pads. He can consistently catch the ball over his head. Also climbs the ladder quickly and will win most battles for jump balls. A terrific red zone weapon.

Weaknesses: He is lean and must add bulk to his frame. Lacks ideal strength and will get pushed around on occasion. Lanky frame and multiple "nicks" are reason for durability alert. Never suffered a major injury but he has had some minor injuries in the past, including hyperextend left knee and broken left finger in 2004, as well as broken left thumb in spring of 2006. Lacks ideal initial burst and will take too long getting into his routes at times. He is somewhat unpolished as a route-runner. Needs to learn to set defenders up better in man-coverage and to sell his fakes more consistently.

Overall: Rice was redshirted for the 2004 season after hyper-extending his knee in warm-ups before the Georgia game. He suffered a finger injury that required surgery prior to the 2005 season, which caused him to miss the opener against Central Florida. Rice then played in and started the remaining 12 contests as a redshirt freshman, catching 70 balls for 1,143 yards (16.3 average) and 13 touchdowns, earning consensus first-team All-SEC accolades. He was sidelined for the final week of spring practice in 2006 because of a broken left thumb.
Rice, a third-year sophomore, is expected to leave school early for the 2007 NFL draft but has yet to make his decision official. He could benefit from another year at the collegiate level, as he still needs to get stronger and improve his route-running consistency. However, he is a natural playmaker with an outstanding combination of height, speed and athletic ability. Rice projects as a late-first round pick that could improve to the mid-first round range if he exceeds expectations in pre-draft workouts.

[MTRaiderHater]

I would like to see profiles on Tony Hunt out of Penn State and Austin Scott, also out of Penn State but not entering the draft. Scott redshirted last year so he could potentially perform out of the shadow of Hunt. Any good information is appreciated with CPs.

:salute:

Tony Hunt

Strengths: Possesses good size and is a powerful downhill runner. Runs with good pad level, is at best when he gets 20+ carries and can wear defenses down over the course of a game. Has excellent lower body strength, keeps legs driving and excels at picking up yards after initial contact. He is a tough, aggressive and competitive runner. Has shown good durability throughout his career. Shows good focus while the ball is in the air, rarely drops passes that should catch and can be a productive short-yardage receiver. He had his best two seasons as a junior and senior and continues to improve with more experience.

Weaknesses: Does not play as fast as his timed speed would indicate. He does not display a second-gear to run away from defenders in the NFL and he will struggle to consistently turn the corner as an outside runner. Lacks ideal lateral mobility and doesn't show great elusiveness in the open field. He is a solid underneath receiver but he's not much of a threat after the catch.

Overall: Hunt played in 10 games as a true freshman and carried 34 times for 110 yards and one touchdown and caught two passes for zero yards. In 2004, Hunt played in all 11 games and made nine starts. He finished the year with 169 carries for 777 yards (4.6 average) and seven touchdowns, and caught 39 passes for 334 yards. Hunt again played in all of Penn State's games in 2005 (12), starting 11 contests. He complied 1,047 yards rushing on 174 carries while averaging six yards per carry, scored six touchdowns, and caught 20 passes for 206 yards before injuring his ankle early in the Orange Bowl vs. Florida State.
Hunt is a powerful back with good size and a tough, downhill style of running. He displays adequate hands as a receiver and has developed into an effective blocker in pass pro. While he is solid in most areas, Hunt lacks any one special quality. He has good timed speed for his size but does not display a second-gear as an open-field runner. He also fails to make defenders miss in space. In our opinion, Hunt has a chance to emerge as a decent starter in a power-run scheme at the next level, but it's more likely he levels off as a good backup. He is having an excellent senior season so his stock is on the rise, but he might be an overrated prospect at this point as a result of a marginal senior class of running backs in 2007.


I cannot find Austin Scott because he was redshirted

[The Hamburgler]

Dywane Bowe
Strengths: Possesses outstanding size and adequate speed for a bigger receiver. He is a fluid and smooth athlete. Shows a high ceiling for development and continues to improve with more experience. He is learning to use his wide wingspan to his advantage as a route-runner. He has long arms and big hands. A potential weapon on jump-balls, fade routes, red zone, etc. His hands are extremely strong and he shows the ability to take the ball away from defenders in the air. He does a good job of catching the ball over his head. He possesses excellent body control and balance for a bigger receiver. He lacks ideal initial burst or acceleration after the catch, but he's a shifty and physical runner that will make the first defender miss and carry the second defender a few yards before going down. Gives a good effort as a blocker and should continue to improve in this area with better technique. Certainly big and strong enough to become an effective stalk blocker in the NFL.

Weaknesses: Continues to improve with experience but a bit of a late-bloomer who did not play football in high school until his junior year. Lacks ideal recognition skills. Does a below average job of finding soft spots in zone coverage. Rounds off too many of his routes and must learn to get in and out of his breaks without gearing down as much. He has a tendency to lose focus on occasion and will drop some "catchable" passes. Possesses adequate speed for his size but lacks elite speed to consistently get over the top of NFL defensive backs one-on-one. He has had some minor durability issues throughout his collegiate career.

Overall: Bowe played in all 13 games for LSU as a true freshman in 2003 as the team's fourth wide receiver and made nine catches for 106 yards. In 2004, Bowe played in all 12 games and had 10 starts. He finished the year with 39 receptions for 597 yards (15.3 average) and five touchdowns. Bowe missed the 2005 opener against ASU with an ankle injury and then played in the remaining 12 games, making nine starts. He led the Tigers in receptions (41), receiving yards (710), and touchdown catches (nine), while averaging 17.3 yards per receptions.
Bowe is one of the most naturally gifted wide receiver prospects in this class. He still has room to improve in terms of his route running and recognition skills, but Bowe is a late-bloomer who continues to make noticeable strides with more playing experience. He projects as a good No. 2 receiver in the NFL and he should come off the 2007 draft board no later than the second round.

[Denver_56]

marvin white please.

[The Hamburgler]

marvin white please.



sorry about the late reply



Strengths: Is fast enough to cover the deep half of the field and has the long arms to tip passes when doesn't get into ideal position. While footwork is inconsistent, can change directions quickly and has the burst to develop strong man-to-man cover skills. Times jumps well, is tall and competes for jump balls. Shows good ball skills and is a playmaker in coverage. Plays with a mean streak and can deliver the big hit. Takes adequate pursuit angles, plays with a good motor and shows good range. Reads keys quickly and fills hard when reads run. Times blitzes well, he closes well and can get to the quarterback. Steadily progressed at the collegiate level and should continue to improve as gains experience.

Weaknesses: Undersized, takes too long to shed blocks and is somewhat of a liability when lines up in the box. Doesn't use hands well, hasn't shown the ability to redirect receivers or jam tight ends at the line and could get pushed around by thicker receivers. Lacks ideal awareness, gets caught out of position and ability to recover won't be as strong at the NFL level. Can be overaggressive and is vulnerable to play action.

Overall: White originally attended Kilgore (Texas) Junior College where he played the 2003 and 2004 seasons, earning All-American recognition. He then started nine of 13 games in 2005 after transferring to TCU, recording 67 total tackles including two for loss, five pass-breakups, and three interceptions to earn second team All-Mountain West honors. White became a first team All-Mountain West (media) performer in 2006 after starting all 13 contests and posting 86 total tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, four interceptions, three pass-breakups, and two forced fumbles.
White is raw and he needs to work on his technique before pushing for substantial playing time but he has the speed, athletic ability and motor to develop into a quality starter. He projects as a second-day pick.

There you go

Hey, could I get Reggie Nelson, Carriker, and Moses' profiles please?

[The Hamburgler]

Hey, could I get Reggie Nelson, Carriker, and Moses' profiles please?

Reggie Nelson-
Strengths: A centerfielder type with outstanding athletic ability and speed. He shows good leverage and quickness in his pedal. Gets a deep drop and does a fine job of keeping the play in front of him. He shows excellent range in zone coverage. Consistently displays the ability to reach the sideline as a cover-3 free safety down the middle. He's instinctive and diagnoses plays quickly in coverage; he does a very good job of reading quarterbacks' eyes while dropping. He displays good ball skills and will catch the ball at its highest point. He shows very good closing burst in coverage and in run support. He isn't afraid to throw his body around. Lowers his shoulder and shows good initial pop for his size. He will play the ball first, but he also will play the body when he can't get to the ball.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size and strength. Is not capable of matching up in the box. Much better in coverage than in run support. He's frequently late in diagnosing the run. He shows good initial pop for his size but he's not overly strong as a tackler. He leads with his shoulder on most occasions and looks for the knockout blow. As a result, he puts his head down and fails to wrap up on too many occasions. He has struggled academically; there are concerns regarding his mental capacity and ability to get his teammates lined up from the safety position.

Overall: Nelson originally attended Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College in 2003 after failing to qualify academically and played football there during the 2004 season, when he registered a team-high 72 tackles, six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), two fumble recoveries, and four blocked kicks. He transferred to Florida in January of 2005 and then appeared in 11 contests (four starts) before tearing a knee ligament during bowl practice which required surgery, finishing the year with 46 total tackles, four tackles for loss, one forced fumble, one pass defended, and one interception. In 2006, Nelson became a first team All-American after starting all 14 games and recording 51 total tackles, two tackles for loss, six interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), five pass-breakups, one fumble recovery, and two blocked kicks. He also returned 12 punts for 93 yards in 2006.
Nelson lacks ideal size and he has limitations in run support. However, he possesses outstanding speed, athletic ability and ball skills in coverage. He has the best range of any safety prospect in the 2007 class and he can instantly upgrade the coverage skills of an NFL secondary as a centerfielder-type free safety. Nelson projects as one of the top-three safety prospects in this year's class and he should be taken in the mid-to-late portion of the first round


Carriker-
Strengths: Possesses outstanding size and good quickness for his size. Is tall, well-built and powerful. Shows adequate initial quickness and good agility for such a bigger DE prospect. He plays with adequate leverage and shows the base to take on blocks versus the run. He possesses very good upper-body strength and will jar offensive linemen with his initial punch. He does a great job of anchoring at the line of scrimmage when teams run at him. He takes solid angles in pursuit and has become a reliable wrap-up tackler in space. Also is a powerful hitter. Shows good instincts as a pass rusher. Displays a wide array of power moves and is relentless in pursuit. Not a speed-rusher type off the edge, but he is productive as an interior penetrator thanks to his quickness, power, versatility and motor.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal top-end speed. Does not show the speed or closing burst to consistently turn the corner as an edge rusher in the NFL. Doesn't have much value as an every-down defensive end in a 4-3 scheme. Is a power-end type that will only fit well as a DE in a 3-4 or as a rotating DE/DT in a 4-3. He must continue to improve his hand-usage in order to consistently disengage quicker. Gets cut a lot and needs to do a better job of protecting his lower body.

Overall: Carriker was redshirted in 2002. He played in nine games in 2003, missed three games with an ankle injury, and finished the year with three total tackles, one tackle for loss, and one sack. In 2004, he appeared in 10 games (eight starts), missed more time with an ankle injury, and recorded 36 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, and three sacks for the season. Carriker then started all 12 games in 2005 at "base" defensive end, made 43 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and forced one fumble earning First Team All-Big 12 recognition from the Associated Press. Carriker started all 14 games in 2006 and finished with 52 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, seven sacks, one interception and one blocked kick earning Associated Press All-Big 12 First Team honors for the second consecutive year.
Carriker displays an impressive combination of size and agility. He came on strong during his final two seasons at Nebraska and he's drawing lots of interest from teams that employ 3-4 defensive alignments. Carriker lacks ideal speed and he'll never be much of a perimeter pass-rushing threat. However, he can anchor versus the run and he can also collapse the pocket from the interior. Because there is such a big market for someone with his unique blend of skills in the NFL these days, Carriker could easily become a first-round pick in April's draft.

[The Hamburgler]

Moses -

Strengths: An athletic defensive end/outside linebacker prospect with good height and size-potential. Has room on his frame to add 15-to-20 more pounds. Displays good initial burst and top-end speed. Naturally instinctive as a pass rusher. He is very fluid when changing directions on a double-move as a pass rusher. He displays necessary closing burst as an edge rusher. At his best versus the run when in space. He works hard to keep off of blocks and he can be disruptive in the backfield. He displays good redirection skills and will make a lot of plays when pursuing from behind. His tackling skills are above average and he shows some power at the point of attack. He also displays fluid hips for his size and shows the potential to occasionally drop in coverage. He is an intelligent player that picks up on new schemes quickly.

Weaknesses: Is lean and must continue to add bulk to his frame. He plays with a narrow base and does not show the lower-body strength to anchor at the line of scrimmage versus the run. He will get pushed around too much by bigger offensive tackles when he lets them get into his body. He needs to improve his technique versus the run, as well. His hand-usage and footwork versus the run are below average. He lacks explosive power as a bull rusher. He also needs to improve his array of pass-rush moves, as he tends to struggle once reached.

Overall: Moses was redshirted in 2002. He played in all 14 games as a backup defensive end during the 2003 season, finishing with 37 total tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. In 2004, Moses played in 11 games (one start; Outback Bowl vs. Wisconsin) and registered 23 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. Moses took over as a fulltime starting defensive end in 2005 (13 games) finishing with 44 total tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, 38 quarterback pressures, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. In 2006 Moses started all 13 games and made 33 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, 27 quarterback hurries, and recovered one fumble.
Moses played basketball for the Bulldogs early in his collegiate career but has since turned his full focus to football. He made huge strides as a first-year fulltime starter in 2005 but he seemingly took a step backwards as a senior in 2006. Lean and athletic, Moses' best fit in the NFL may be as a rush-linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Regardless, he possesses impressive natural athleticism and he has enough room on his frame to add 15-20 pounds of bulk, which he will need to do if asked to be an every-down end in a 4-3 scheme. When it's all said and done, Moses' impressive postseason workouts should help revitalize his fading draft stock, which is why we still expect him to be taken in the mid-to-late portion of the first round despite a disappointing senior campaign.



Siler

Strengths: Aggressive, has a quick first step and makes plays at the line of scrimmage. Plays with a mean streak and is big enough to hold his ground against most fullbacks when he stays low. Shows above-average upper-body strength and flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly. Uses hands to protect legs and generally does a nice job of fighting off cut blocks. Plays with a good motor and always seems to be around the ball at the end of the play. Displays good straight-line speed, closes fairly well and flashes the ability to deliver big hits. Wraps up on contact and is a sound open-field tackler when he gets into good position. Times blitzes well, flashes the ability to run through blockers in the backfield and takes the shortest path to the quarterback.

Weaknesses: Doesn't always take sound pursuit angles, has problems locating the ballcarrier despite size and gets caught out of position at times. Fast on a straight-line but lacks ideal athleticism. He's a bit stiff in the hips and loses too much time in transition when changing directions. He lacks ideal range in zone coverage and isn't fluid enough to match up versus quicker NFL running backs man-to-man. Lacks ideal ball skills and isn't a playmaker in coverage.

Overall: Siler appeared in all 12 games (six starts) as a true freshman in 2004 and finished with 77 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks, earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors (coaches). In 2005 he started all 12 games and recorded 64 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, four sacks, seven fumble recoveries and one safety. Siler started 13 of 14 games in 2006, missing the Western Carolina game because of a knee injury, and registered 77 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, three sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, earning him third-team All-American honors (AP) and second-team All-SEC accolades (coaches and media).
Siler is an effective interior run stuffer who plays with a mean streak and never stops working. However, while he's fast on a straight-line, he doesn't display great agility when working laterally and is a bit sluggish in coverage. Overall, Siler projects as a second-round pick.

Mike Walker -

Strengths: Reads defenses well and can settle into soft spots when working against zone-coverage. Can change directions quickly, explodes out of cuts and can separate from man-coverage. Catches ball away from frame, shows good focus while the ball is in the air and he can make the tough catch in traffic. Times jumps well, he shows good body control and flashes the ability to win jump balls. Though lacks elite bulk, is tough, shields defenders from the ball and isn't afraid to go over the middle. Can make the first defender miss, is quick and can produce after the catch. Has experience lining up at corner and is versatile.

Weaknesses: Doesn't have great bulk and can get pushed around. Doesn't use hands particularly well and is going to have problems beating press-coverage. Lacks ideal top-end speed and isn't much of a threat to stretch the defense. Doesn't have the strength to consistently break tackles, doesn't have the second gear to outrun defenders when he gets a seam and isn't much of a threat to turn a catch underneath into a long gain. Doesn't have great upper-body strength, frequently fails to lock onto defender's frame and isn't an effective blocker. Tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in 2005 and durability is a concern.

Overall: Walker appeared in all 12 games of his true freshman season in 2003 and he caught 21 passes for 337 yards. He lined up at corner at the beginning of the 2004 season and switched back to receiver midway through the season. Walker caught nine passes for 191 yards and one touchdown and he recorded 29 tackles, intercepted three passes and forced a fumble that year. He started the first 11 games of the 2005 season at receiver and he caught 64 passes for 855 yards and nine touchdowns but he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee late in the year. Walker played in all 12 games of the 2006 season and he caught 90 passes for 1,178 yards and seven touchdowns.
Walker's potential is limited by his lack of speed, he needs to get stronger and his 2005 knee injury is reason for concern. However, he is a crisp short-to-intermediate route-runner who catches the ball well so he could develop into a productive possession slot-receiver in time. Walker could also contribute as a sub-package corner. If he isn't selected on the second day of the draft, a team should find a roster spot for him.

No Reggie Ball Profile as of now.


Darius Walker

Strengths: A quick and shifty runner. Displays very good agility and body control. Is able to change directions quickly and does a fine job of hitting the backside crease. His vision as a runner is among his biggest strengths. Sees holes opening before most other backs would and shows good initial burst to hit the hole. He is a slippery runner who makes it difficult for defenders to get a clean hit on him. He has been durable throughout his career and protects his body well. He shows good power for his size and will break lots of attempted arm tackles. He is a reliable and experienced receiver. Understands the passing game, shows very good savvy as a route-runner, and his hands are excellent. Generally gets into good position and gives a fine effort as a pass blocker.

Weaknesses: He lacks any special qualities. His size and speed are adequate but not good. He lacks elusiveness to make defenders miss in space, and he lacks the bulk and power to run through defenders. He does not display a second gear in the open field, and he will struggle to consistently turn the corner at the next level. He gets overpowered by bigger linebackers in pass pro at times. He also has had some fumbling issues.

Overall: As a true freshman, Walker did not appear in the 2004 season opener against BYU but then played in 11 games, including two starts (Michigan State and Washington). He carried 185 times for 786 yards (4.2 average) and seven touchdowns and caught 10 passes for 74 yards. In 2005, he started all 12 contests, finishing with 253 rushes for 1,196 yards (4.7 average) and nine touchdowns and 43 catches for 351 yards and two more scores. Walker again started every game (13) in 2006, carrying 255 times for 1,267 yards (5.0 average) and seven touchdowns and making 56 receptions for 391 yards and one touchdown. Walker is the first underclassman to leave Notre Dame early since 1994.
Walker is a versatile back who runs with good vision and toughness while also displaying excellent hands and savvy as a short-to-intermediate receiver. But he simply does not possess the physical tools of a NFL starter. He projects as a change-of-pace backup who can contribute in the passing game and on special teams. Walker's draft value is late on Day 1.

syvelle Newton

[The Hamburgler]

syvelle Newton


Strengths: A versatile athlete. Has experience lining up at quarterback, running back, receiver and safety and can return kicks so is extremely versatile. Explodes out of cuts, changes directions quickly and can separate from man coverage. Is tough and isn't afraid to go over the middle. While he rounds off some cuts, he has progressed in this area and is a decent short-to-intermediate route-runner. Does an adequate job of reading defenses and can locate seams when working against zone-coverage. Has quick feet, possesses decent upper body strength and can beat press-coverage. Possesses adequate speed and generally does a good job of tracking the ball downfield. Stays focused when the ball is in the air and doesn't drop many passes he should catch. Can make defenders miss, fights for yards after contact and can produce after the catch. Shows good vision with the ball in his hands, reads blocks well and runs screens well. As a quarterback, he possesses above-average arm strength, shows good poise in the face of pressure and can be accurate when he gets into a rhythm but doesn't always make sound decisions and footwork is inconsistent. As a safety, he showed good closing speed, adequate cover skills and tackled fairly well. Is a competitor, looks to throw blocks downfield and wants the ball in his hands when the game is on the line.

Weaknesses: Lacks elite top-end speed and isn't going to outrun many defenses when he gets a seam. Plays physical and is strong but doesn't have great size and bigger corners will have some success pushing him around. Versatility is somewhat of a setback because he hasn't been able to refine skills at any one position. Doesn't always secure the ball when running in the open field and is vulnerable to getting the ball knocked loose. Though shows good balance and flashes the ability to sustain once in position, is just adequate as a blocker. While he bounced back in 2006 and durability isn't a substantial concern at this point, sustained a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in 2005.

Overall: Newton started one of the 12 games he appeared in during his true freshman season in 2003 and he primarily lined up at receiver and returned kicks. He caught 22 passes for 272 yards, returned three kickoffs for 60 yards and completed one of his two passes for 18 yards. Newton played quarterback and started five of the 11 games he appeared in during the 2004 season. He completed 70 of his 131 passes for 1,093 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions. Newton also rushed for 262 yards and five touchdowns on 104 carries. He lined up at quarterback, receiver and running back and returned kicks while appearing in seven games during the 2005 season but he sustained a season-ending Achilles tendon injury. Newton caught 27 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns and he rushed for 150 yards on 21 carries. He also completed four of his five passes for 47 yards and two touchdowns and returned three kickoffs for 55 yards that year. Newton started games at quarterback, receiver and free safety in 2006.
Newton is a unique prospect because he has played several positions throughout his collegiate career, including wide receiver, quarterback and defensive back. While he has shown some potential at every one of them, we believe his best pro-potential is at wide receiver. Newton is raw but he has good size and speed, he changes directions quickly and he flashes the ability to catch the ball well in traffic. Newton's versatility adds value to his NFL draft stock, which is why his grade has improved to the late-first or early-second day range of the 2007 class.

Is there a profile for DeAndre Jackson yet?


Strengths: Gets adequate depth, can cover a lot of ground and shows a strong grasp of spacing when drops into zone coverage. Reads routes well and shows strong footwork. Is disciplined and rarely gets caught out of position. Times jumps fairly well and is tall enough to compete for jump balls. Reads quarterback's eyes, is aggressive and can jump routes. Catches the ball well and is a playmaker. Closes fairly well and flashes the ability to deliver the big hit. Plays with a good motor and flashes the ability to slip blocks in space. Times blitzes well and can get to the quarterback coming off the edge. Reads blocks well, shows good burst through seams and is a dangerous kickoff return man though needs to be more consistent.

Weaknesses: Appears stiff when opening hips to turn and run downfield, frequently gives receivers a big cushion and lacks ideal top-end speed. Takes too long to diagnose plays and doesn't offer much in run support despite size. Doesn't take sound pursuit angles and gets caught out of position at times. Ducks his head at times and is an inconsistent open-field tackler. Sustained a season-ending knee injury during Oklahoma game in 2006, so durability is a pressing issue heading into the draft.

Overall: Jackson appeared in eight games (three starts) as a true freshman in 2003 and made 18 tackles including two for loss. In 2004, he emerged as a fulltime starter for all 12 contests and recorded 50 total tackles, 10 passes defended, and one interception. Jackson again started all 12 games in 2005 and posted 55 total tackles including one for loss, five interceptions, eight passes defended, one fumble recovery, and four forced fumbles. In 2006, he started the first seven games before suffering a knee injury against Oklahoma that caused him to miss the remainder of the season. For the year, Jackson registered 26 total tackles including one for loss, two pass-breakups, and one forced fumble. Over the course of the 2005 and 2006 seasons, he also returned 35 kickoffs for 806 yards (23 average).
Jackson doesn't possess the speed to consistently hold up on an island and his knee injury is reason for concern. However, he has the size, instincts and playmaking ability to develop into an excellent starter in a cover-2 scheme. He also projects as a solid contributor on special teams in the NFL. Jackson projects as a second-day pick and he could be a great value if he returns to form physically.

[The Hamburgler]

Turk McBride please.



Strengths: Possesses good height and the frame to add bulk. Displays very good initial quickness and has learned to fire out of his stance with much better leverage. He is at his best working as a three-technique or a shaded nose tackle. Shows the ability to consistently penetrate the gap and disrupt in the backfield. Plays with a good motor and will give an effort in pursuit. Shows good change-of-direction skills and is at his best when on the move. Very adept on stunts and twists. Is quick enough to consistently gain penetration as a pass rusher. Is versatile due to experience as a defensive end, three-technique defensive tackle and shaded nose tackle at the collegiate level.

Weaknesses: Is vastly undersized. Does not possess the bulk or lower-body strength to hold up physically as a fulltime defensive tackle in the NFL. He needs to be on the move to be effective. He plays with a narrow base and gets pushed around by bigger offensive linemen that are able to establish positioning. He struggles to get off of blocks at times and needs to do a better job with his hand usage. Works hard versus the double team but must learn more effective ways to split it. He gets knocked off his feet too frequently when trying to split the double-team. Must also improve his array of pass rush moves. He also had a history of nagging injuries that have caused him to miss time early in his collegiate career.

Overall: McBride saw limited action in eight games as a true freshman in 2003 and made one tackle. He played in 13 games (four starts) at defensive tackle and defensive end in 2004, finishing the year with 33 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries. In 2005, McBride appeared in nine contests but missed the Mississippi and Memphis games with an ankle injury. For the season, he made 16 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. McBride started all 13 games in 2006, finishing with 68 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, one sack, and one forced fumble, garnering him Associated Press First Team All-SEC honors.
McBride entered his senior season with limited starting experience and a history of durability issues. However, he was asked to play a versatile role along the Vols' injury-riddled defensive front in 2006 and blossomed during the experience. While he still lacks ideal size and strength, McBride displays enough quickness, toughness and versatility to find a niche in the NFL as a swingman that can play end in a base 4-3 and then move inside to rush the quarterback on obvious passing downs. McBride has risen from a late-round enigma to a fringe first-day prospect, as a result.

[The Hamburgler]

Gerald Alexander S 6'0" 203 BOISE STATE
Strengths: Very smooth and fluid athlete. Possesses adequate height and can add some bulk to his frame. Shows good balance and leverage in his backpedal and also displays good burst coming out of it. He is naturally athletic with smooth hips and good change-of-direction skills for a safety. His recognition skills and instincts in coverage are above average. Displays adequate ball skills. Fills hard versus the run and is strong for his size.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size and strength. Fills hard but struggles to get off blocks at times and can get run over by bigger ball carriers. Angles of pursuit must continue to improve and he needs to learn to wrap up more consistently as an open-field tackler. He possesses adequate but not great speed and does not show the acceleration to make up for false steps.

Overall: Alexander was redshirted in 2002. He saw action in all 14 games as the nickel cornerback and on special teams in 2003, recording 20 total tackles including one for loss, two pass-breakups, and one interception. In 2004, Alexander broke into the starting lineup for all 12 games and collected 53 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, five interceptions, eight pass-breakups, and one blocked field goal attempt. He started all 13 contests in 2005 amassing 50 total tackles, two tackles for loss, one interception, and 13 pass-breakups. Alexander moved to safety for spring practice in 2006 and then started all 13 games there posting 38 total tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions, four pass-breakups, six passes defended, one fumble recovery, and one forced fumble.
Alexander made a successful transition at Boise State from cornerback to safety, where his skills are better suited for the NFL game. He lacks ideal size and elite speed, but he gives a great effort in run support and he is quick, fluid and instinctive in zone coverage. Alexander shows enough potential to contribute as a sub-package defensive back and covering kicks on special teams in the NFL, which is why he's worth considering in the middle rounds of the 2007 draft.


Andrew Browning DT 6'0" 281 BOISE STATE - No

Korey Hall ILB 6'0" 232 BOISE STATE - No

Drisan James WR 6'0" 192 BOISE STATE - No

Quinton Jones RS 5'9" 175 BOISE STATE

Strengths: Possesses good top-end speed, shows a second gear in the open field and is capable of going the distance every time touches the ball. Played running back during his first three seasons at Boise State, is comfortable with the ball in hands and reads blocks well. Possesses good elusiveness and can make multiple defenders miss. Has experience returning kickoffs as well as punts and is somewhat versatile. Possesses great range, is an adequate open-field tackler and can cover kicks.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size and isn't big enough to develop into an every-down running back. Doesn't have much experience lining up at corner, gets pushed around by bigger receivers and doesn't offer much depth at corner.

Overall: Jones was redshirted in 2002. In 2003, he appeared in the first two games, carried eight times for 46 yards and caught one pass for 25 yards before injuring his knee and missing the rest of the year. Jones played in 12 games in 2004, carried 30 times for 277 yards (9.2 average) and three touchdowns, caught six passes for 70 yards and one touchdown, and returned 21 kickoffs for 440 yards (21 average). He moved to cornerback in 2005, played in all 13 contests (two starts), recorded 16 total tackles and three pass-breakups, and carried twice on offense for 53 yards and one touchdown. Jones also returned 30 kickoffs for 731 yards (24.7 average) and 22 punts for 459 yards (20.9 average) and three touchdowns (tied for most in the nation) during the 2005 season. In 2006 he appeared in all 13 games, with nine starts, finishing with 25 total tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, eight pass-breakups, and two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. Jones also returned 24 kicks for 483 yards (20.1 average), 13 punts for 132 yards (10.2 average) and rushed three times for one yard and a touchdown.
Jones possesses a great blend of speed, burst and vision but he is a fairly one-dimensional return specialist. He projects as a late-round pick or rookie free agent.


Brad Lau FB 5'11" 239 BOISE STATE - No

Legedu Naanee WR 6'2" 224 BOISE STATE - No


I put the draft things in the quote

[The Hamburgler]

Jerard Rabb WR 6'2" 199 BOISE STATE - No

Derek Schouman TE 6'2" 233 BOISE STATE - No

Jared Zabransky QB 6'1" 204 BOISE STATE

Strengths: Shows a good sense of timing, outs good touch on passes and flashes the ability to lead receivers when throwing underneath. Shows good poise in the pocket and generally goes through progressions before scrambling. Has greatly improved decision making and is more willing to throw the ball away or cover it up when pass rush is closing in. Shows good ball skills and can freeze linebackers with play fakes. Possesses excellent top-end speed, can make defenders miss and is a dangerous open field runner. Shows great awareness and always knows where the first-down marker is. Plays with excellent intensity and fights for extra yards.

Weaknesses: Doesn't have elite arm strength, frequently throws off back foot and has a tendency to under throw receivers when throwing downfield. Puts too much air under downfield passes and gives defenders too much time to receover when they get caught out of position. Though has improved in this area, tries to make too much happen at times. Doesn't have great height and has some problems scanning the field from within the pocket. Loses the strike zone at times and is streaky. Hasn't shown the ability to make throws in the face of pressure and there is some concern about ability to beat blitz. Holds onto the ball too long and takes too many hits.

Overall: Boise State red-shirted Zabransky in 2002. He appeared in nine games during the 2003 season completing 11 of his 23 passes for 180 yards, a touchdown and one interception. He also rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. Zabransky moved into the staring lineup in 2004 and he was named honorable mention All-America by Sports Illustrated following the season. He completed 206 of his 327 passes 2,927 yards, 16 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Zabransky also rushed for 326 yards and 13 touchdowns on 130 carries and caught two passes for a total of five yards. He started all 13 games in 2005 throwing for 2,562 yards, 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while completing 59.1 percent of his passes. Zabransky also rushed for 262 yards and 11 touchdowns on 107 carries.
Zabransky doesn't have prototypical size or arm strength but he has outstanding mobility and he is always a threat to make a play with his feet. He is also an accurate passer when he gets on a roll and he has improved his decision making. He projects as a late-round pick or an undrafted rookie free agent.




I did the same thing here

[The Hamburgler]

Antwan Barnes Fla. International and Chris Henry of Arizona


There isnt one for Barnes


Chris Henry -

Strengths: A big, strong back with lots of mileage left on his legs. Shows good initial quickness and burst through the hole. He possesses above-average straight-line speed for his size and can bounce some runs outside once he hits the second level. He shows the ability to push the pile when he runs with good leverage and lowers his shoulder. He will bounce off would-be tacklers and displays an effective stiff-arm. While he needs polishing in the passing game, he does display soft hands and the ability to adjust to poorly thrown balls.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal starting experience; he was never the fulltime load-carrier in college. Not overly elusive and won't make many defenders miss in space. He is impatient; will run up the heels of his linemen and also looks to bounce plays outside too early. He is big and strong but doesn't consistently run with good pad-level and takes too many shots to his body. He's not a great route-runner, and his pass-blocking technique is marginal. We also have concerns about his competitiveness after his decision to leave school rather than compete for the starting job at Arizona in 2007.

Overall: Henry appeared in two games in 2003 as a true freshman before injuring his leg and obtaining a medical redshirt. In 2004 he returned to appear in all 11 games (zero starts) and finished the season with 159 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 56 carries (2.8 average). Henry played in all 11 games again in 2005 (zero starts), rushing 34 times for 119 yards (3.5 average) and also contributed on special teams. Henry played in 11 of 12 games in 2006, earned seven starts and finished with 165 carries for 581 yards (3.5 average) and seven touchdowns. Over the past three seasons he has caught 25 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown.
Henry is a big back with good burst, but his inexperience, lack of elusiveness and impatience are glaring. Henry is very much an unproven commodity, but he displays enough promising characteristics to warrant a gamble in the mid-to-late rounds.

[The Hamburgler]

Chris Houston Arkansas


Strengths: Possesses adequate-to-good size and speed. Is physical in coverage and has consistently proven capable of matching up one-on-one versus bigger receivers. Does a fine job in press-man coverage; he possesses good upper-body power with long arms. Displays very smooth hips and the speed to turn-and-run with most receivers vertically. Also shows good closing burst when coming forward and knocks down a lot of quick throws underneath. He has very good leaping ability and can challenge for the jump ball.

Weaknesses: He has room to improve in terms of his recognition. He will open his hips too late at times and too early at other times. He lacks ideal ball skills and knocks down some passes he should intercept. Doesn't show as much interest in run support as he should. He is satisfied to let his teammates make plays versus the run instead of going out of his way to get involved. He's more physical in coverage than he is in run support. He needs to do a better job of getting off blocks and with his pursuit angles. Misses too many open-field tackles.

Overall: Houston arrived at Arkansas in 2003 and was redshirted. In 2004, he played in eight of 11 games (four starts), missed two games due to an ankle injury, and recorded 21 total tackles including 2.5 for loss, one pass defended, and scored a touchdown on a blocked punt. Houston saw action in all 11 games in 2005 (started the final nine filling in for an injured starter) amassing 20 total tackles, one tackle for loss, eight passes defended, and one forced fumble. In 2006, he started all 14 contests finishing the year with 45 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions for 129 yards (one touchdown), 13 pass-breakups, and two forced fumbles gaining All-SEC recognition.
Houston is a fast-rising prospect that bolted after his outstanding junior season. While it was his first as a fulltime starter, Houston did play in 33 games with 27 starts during his three-year career at Arkansas. He has room to improve in terms of his technique in coverage and as an open-field tackler. However, he possesses a very good combination of size, speed, strength and athletic ability. He is an instinctive and tough cover corner that consistently held his own versus top-flight wide receivers in 2006 (USC's Dwayne Jarrett, Tennessee's Robert Meachem and LSU's Dwayne Bowe). Houston projects as a late first-day pick in a weak 2007 cornerback class.

Hopefully someone will draft my guys... just not the Raiders, Cowboys or 49ers...lol

[BroncoSexyDaddy]

BTW Tank Tyler plays for N.C. State, not Florida.Tank Tyler would be the best pick up for Denver.The guy is the strongest DT in the draft.He bench pressed 225 42 times :eek: :eek: that is incredible.

NC State played in tough games and Tank played very well,we need a player of his caliber.Tank Tyler would be my first pick in the 2007 Draft for Denver.
