Any project guys jumping out at you?

[Cutler2007]

One guy that may be a nice fit to convert to a 3-4 DE is OT Lyndon Murtha, 6'7" 306lbs. There is a good chance he goes UDFA. Looking at his workout:

40 yd: 4.89 - Very, very good straight line speed at that weight
20 Shuttle: 4.34 - once again way above target at that size
3 cone: 7.06 - Fantastic time and the best DE indicator IMO
Vert: 35" - 2nd best of all OL guys, better than most TEs

His athleticism is off the charts, May be a two year project, may take one, but he did not look all that great mirroring guys, so I think he could fare much better as a DE in a 3-4.

convert an UDFA OT to a DE?

convert an UDFA OT to a DE?

Convert a basketball player to a TE? SD made out like a bandit there.

Sometimes looking outside the box can result in a stud player.

It's funny you mention Murtha, because we had a few of the guys over to watch the combine and one of my friends mentioned how he looked like a prototypical 3-4 DE (he actually is a Dallas fan and said he looked a lot like Canty who is also 6'7" 304 lbs. and actually runs a slower 40 according to the reports I read) and the light bulb went off. If he were an UDFA there would be no harm in bringing in a guy with such upside to come in and earn his way if he is willing to do so at DE. I saw this and thought it was hilarious, but yeah, I think Murtha might be worth a flier as a 3-4 DE project if it turns out he might not pan out as an OT.

I'm looking at Kenny Mckinley as a late round pick at WR to become the slot receiver. I think he has great potential there. Looking forward to seeing his 40 time and receiving drills

I also think Patrick Turner might transition well as a TE in the NFL. He needs a little more bulk to his frame (6'5" 220) but he has great hands, and if he could put a little weight on, and also brush up on blocking with the new added weight/strength, he might be a worthwhile project. That's a lot of if's though, but that's what "projects" are all about.

WR Jaison Williams out of Oregon is an interesting prospect at TE. I wouldn't mind us getting him in the 6th or 7th rounds to groom at TE!

Good find

Haha!! I have done that for my Madden franchises, he is the best TE in the league.

[rockrules40]

What about Pat White at WR? I don't think anyone would have ever thought of that!

[BRINGBAKPLUMMER]

Trimane Goddard, safety from UNC
he was on some peoples all-american lists, he's a playmaker in the secondary. tied for the national lead in interceptions with seven.
but he doesn't have ideal NFL measurables so he might go undrafted

[Scheyjosh]

Ive been watching the Combine, and Jamon Meredith, South Carolina Really stood out to me.

Height: 6-5. Weight: 302.
Projected 40 Time: 5.04.
Combine 40 Time: 5.03.
Benchx225: 31. Arm: 34 1/2.

I know we dont need OT, but he's just a guy that I think looks like a stud. He impressed me more than Michael Oher

i dont think he stays UDFA any more i think he actually will be a late 5th rd-mid 6th rd pick.....telling you the truth though we may end up with 2 sixth rd picks if fox resigns with atlanta, so i might be down grabbing him with a sixth rd pick.....he does show some skills neccessary for the switch.



I actually have been interested in chris clemons from clemson he is reported to have put on some nice weight and could be a great project SS/LB box type player.....in the sixth rd...i am waiting for official weigh in results though.....but he was a great SS at clemson

Ya he could be drafted now. It would be a gamble, but taking him in round 6 would not be a horrible idea. Looking at his numbers again and comparing them to past picks:

Murtha:

40 yd: 4.89
20 Shuttle: 4.34
3 cone: 7.06
Vert: 35"

Kendall Langford (3rd round):

40 yd: 4.95
20 Shuttle: 4.69
3 cone: 7.72
Vert: 27"

Lawrence Jackson (1st rounder)

40 yd: 4.82
20 Shuttle: 4.40
3 cone: 7.08
Vert: 31"

These kids play Football part time and attend classes part time, I would bet given a year or two Wayne Nunnely could really make something out of a kid this athletic.

Vince Oghobaase DT out of Duke he is 6-6 310 pounds. he had An All-ACC honorable mention, and collected 51 tackles, nine TFL and six sacks as a junior. He looks like he may be good and I got denver drafting him in the third round in my mock draft :salute!:
