Go to WWW.SCOUT.COM to get additional information on alot of these players...


So what do you think... Any ideas?

 

[Motion]

Quite a few of those are 1st-2nd rounders, not sure how that translates to being a steal. :confused:

 

[NewEra8]

As in possible steals as its titled... thats what they are, possible steals... First Team-Unlikely to fall to later rounds.... Second Team-Likely to fall later rounds.... Third Team-Should be there later rounds...

If you think Demeco Ryans will last past the 1st round you need to seriously re-access your scouting ability! :D

Why wouldn't he? In just OLB alone he has AJ Hawk, Chad Greenway, Spencer Havner and maybe even Ernie Sims or Thomas Howard ahead of him... not even including ILB like Brooks and Jackson

I'll put money on it that he doesn't go first round!

Edit: Man, you must be crazy... yes hes a good athlete but first round? Cmon... is your head on straight?

WTF are you talking about man? He may slip out of the first round barely, I'll give you that but he's far better than some of the names you mentioned. Let alone putting him on your "3rd team steals", he's an early first day pick at the very least.

How many LB's alone do you have ahead of him?

Edit:

OLB's only: Hawk, Greenway probably based purely on size although I think Ryans is a better all around player, and Havner is very debatable

 

[NewEra8]

More than likely hes gonna have to change from strong side to weak side cause of his size.... and his passrushing skills are weak... how many teams are gonna draft him in the top 2 rounds knowing that? Especially with all of the other options out this year

His passrushing skills can be easily improved although I don't think they are that bad to begin with. He'd be an ideal weakside LB in a 4-3 defense with his good coverage skills. He's a sure first day pick.

Late 2nd round AT BEST

Late 2nd round AT BEST

No way,Still shouldn't be considered a steal, which was my original point! :tongue: Let alone a 3rd teamer.

 

[apa64che]

I told you guys that Darryl Tapp would be overlooked. I know we need a QB first and foremost. I don't know how much Saban would like to have someone to balance Taylor's blitz on the other side, or just have someone ready when Taylor retires, but I'd be dancin in the streets if we got him. I'm tellin you, this kid is awesome.

So out of this whole post, that one guy is your whole arguement... thanks for your opinion, bye bye now
