1) Brian Orapko 6’4 260 LB Texas- Instant Starter at OLB, tough, physical, the next shawne merriman

2) Darius Butler 6’0 185 CB Connecticut- Fast and physical corner just like Bill & Co. Love. Starter opposite of Will Allen.

2) Demetrius Byrd 6’2 195 WR LSU- Excellent Hands and route running, Loves taking it in the middle. Great Compliment for Gin.

3) Dorell Scott 6’4 310 DT Clemson- Big Brick Wall 6’4 310 body that gives up a desperate back up to Jason Ferguson who’s already 35.

4) CJ Spillman 6’0 195 S Marshall- collected 131 Tackles his Jr.year, hard hitter and plays very good coverage. Excellent back up and Special Teams Player!!

5) Louis Vasquez 6’6 330 OG Texas Tech- Huge guy at 6’6 330. Provided great protection for the nation's leading passer, Graham Harrell ... offense averaged 40.9 points per game, the second-highest total in school history

7) Jackie Bates 5’11 180 CB Hampton- fast cover guy who provides us with Speed, also a hitter on special teams.

7)Maurice Wells 5’10 198 RB Ohio State- Veteran of OSU who has been an unsung contributor in the Buckeye offense ... a change of pace at tailback to Chris Wells ... has breakaway speed and can turn the corner in the blink of an eye ... gets a great burst up the middle ... has good hands. Perfect for Wildcat J

7) Reed Williams 6’2 230 ILB West Virginia- West Virginia’s starting middle linebacker for the second year after sharing the starting position at strong-side linebacker in 2006 … tough, physical linebacker who is very smart … also used on special teams


-Just random Facts-

  • Darius Butler is from Broward County cousins with Willis McGahee
  • Demetrius Byrd is from Miami Central High School
  • Maurice Wells is from Jacksonville

What I like about this draft is that everyone is a PERFECT fit for our new team! They are all battle test proven, Experienced, and most of all SPECIAL TEAMS balers!!...
 
Butler is not that good, i live in CT and go to all the Uconn games. he would be good because he is a DB/WR/return man. a do it all guy but as a corner he isn't great. i am also a bit of an LSU fan so i see a lot of their games as well. byrd has the size and physicality we are looking for, however he has a bad case of the dropsies (Hagan-esgue)
i agree that lb is a big concern but not in the first, with the productivity we get in the later rounds of the draft last season i would pick one up later. i would go cb/saftey with 1, lb 2, cb/saftey 2, then nt 3, then oline depth with a big reciever somewhere.

ps this belongs in the draft section
