who are our draft picks so far...ive been lost...

1st round: Vernon Carey (Miami-FL). Will be penciled in as starting RT but could move inside to RG if either St. Claire shows he can play RT or McIntosh's ankle heals quicker than expected.

4th round: Will Poole (USC). Cornerback who can also return punts. First-round talent who dropped because of a poor 40 time at his campus workout last week (he had the flu).

5th round: Tony Bua (Arkansas). Pegged as a strong safety who could play linebacker in the dime package. Not all that fast but a big hitter. Will make his mark on special teams.

6th round: Rex Hadnot (Houston). Could compete for the RG job but is probably the backup center. Good pass protector and close-space run blocker but doesn't have the speed to pull.

Grade: 47
Alerts: (S: SPEED) Player lacks ideal speed at position

Comments: Pape is experienced, efficient player with good size, strength and quickness. Quick out of stance, quick set in pass pro. Long arms, good at finishing in pass pro once locked on. Better in running game. Has size/frame to engulf linemen at point of attack. Tough, aggressive, competitive blocker. Really works to finish, drives legs in running game. Is durable, consistent, solid leader and hard worker. Solid, but not spectacular. Must play with leverage. Adequate short-area quickness, but lacks agility. Struggles to redirect in pass pro against double moves. Plays too high and looks stiff. Has trouble hitting moving targets in space. Works hard to finish and has good strength, but is not overpowering. Pape was a two-year starter at left tackle before moving to right tackle as a senior. He is an efficient, aggressive, strong lineman with plus technique and hand usage. He has long arms and adequate short-area quickness in pass protection, but is not a great athlete and is a bit stiff. He'll probably have to play right tackle or move inside to guard. Pape is a fierce competitor who is great at finishing blocks once locked on. If he can play with consistent leverage, he could develop into a strong run-blocking and efficient pass blocking right tackle. Pape might slip to Day 2 because he doesn't wow you, but we think he's underrated because he's instinctive and will probably earn a starting job in the NFL.
