silvermike Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 CORNERBACK? THIS IS BS!! Oh wait, UDFA? Never mind. I thought it was the first round for a moment there.
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 No info on Destin Naaman Roosevelt! WR Woo Hoo!! Overall grade: 3.9 NAAMAN ROOSEVELT MEASURABLES Height: 6-0 Weight: 190 40-yard dash: 4.54 10-yard dash: 20-yard shuttle: 60-yard shuttle: Broad jump: 225-lb. bench: 3-cone drill: Vertical jump: Wonderlic: 20-yard dash: Naaman Roosevelt WR, Buffalo War Room analysis Strengths: Was very productive in college. Makes the easier grabs when the ball is thrown directly on target. Has some acceleration and speed. Is a fluid, natural strider in the open field. Has the ability to make some big plays. Can return kickoffs and punts. Weaknesses: Is the classic underachiever. Is lackadaisical at times. Does not look quick or fast releasing into routes off the line of scrimmage. Lacks the body control to make acrobatic catches. Drops passes that hit him in the hands. Gives up on plays too easily. Isn't a good run blocker. Bottom line: Roosevelt is the school's all-time leading receiver, but don't be fooled. While he has some talent, he does not give enough effort to succeed in the NFL. Some team, seduced by his big-play potential, will probably grossly overdraft him. __________________ Overall grade: 5.5 DONALD JONES MEASURABLES Height: 6-0 Weight: 214 40-yard dash: 4.54 10-yard dash: 1.57 20-yard shuttle: 4.20 60-yard shuttle: Broad jump: 9-11 225-lb. bench: 20 3-cone drill: 6.90 Vertical jump: 41 Wonderlic: 20-yard dash: 2.62 Donald Jones WR, Youngstown State War Room analysis Strengths: Is tough and physical. Has confidence, quickness and above-average speed. Excels in short-to-intermediate routes. Can be tough to bring down after the catch. Has playmaking ability. Is instinctive in the open field. Finds creases. Has good enough balance to hurdle a fallen defender. Provides real value as a punt returner. Weaknesses: Had trouble hanging on to the ball occasionally due to focus and awareness inconsistencies. Will juke defenders out of their shoes in the open field. Does not have home-run speed. Is inconsistent as a run blocker. Bottom line: Jones is a good player. There's no question he will make an NFL roster and be productive. He would be a good value in the fourth round and a steal in the fifth. Great signing!
OCinBuffalo Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Added another one: Joique Bell, RB, Wayne State Link: Wayne State's website
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Two more; Joique Bell RB and Stephan Virgil CB Joique Bell 5'11" 220 RB, Wayne State (MI) War Room analysis Strengths: Has good size with a thick upper body. Is an aggressive runner between the tackles who leads with his pads and maintains balance. Show the power to consistently run through arm tackles, often requiring multiple defenders to bring him down. Has a good combination of vision and patience. Does a good job of hiding behind his blockers, waiting for them to set up running lanes. Is a competitive blocker who is willing to step into the hole and take on defenders at the point of attack. Weaknesses: Is not fast or explosive enough to start in the NFL. Struggled to gain the edge against inferior talent in college and will not be a threat running outside or in open space in the NFL. Can't accelerate and explode out of his cuts. Struggles to get through holes before they close. Is a willing blocker but must learn to use his hands better and punch on initial contact. Has experience splitting out as a receiver but does not run clean, crisp routes and is too much of a body catcher. Bottom line: Bell turned some heads with his impressive performance at Senior Bowl practices, as he showed the ability to run with power and quickness and to pass-block efficiently. However, he lacks the burst to get through tight spaces or to turn the corner. With those limitations, he must prove he can help on third down as a receiver and pass blocker. Bell projects as a fifth- or sixth-round pick who will have a solid career as a short-yardage and third-down back. _____________________ Stephan Virgil 5'11" 183 CB, Virginia Tech War Room analysis Strengths: Is a good athlete with quickness, smooth hip movements and above-average speed. Shows good awareness, anticipation and ball reactions in "off" man-to-man coverage and zone. Shows soft hands and ability to adjust to passes. Has special teams value as a coverage player; blocked two punts in college. Weaknesses: Lacks great size or growth potential. Has only marginal strength, and is an average drag-down tackler in run support. Gets out of control at times when trying to make open-field tackles. Lacks a great burst to accelerate and recover downfield. Lacks size and strength to be effective in bump-and-run coverage. Bottom line: Virgil merits late-round consideration as a backup cornerback and a core member of special teams. He lacks the size or athletic skills to ever develop into an NFL starter, though.
McBeane Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Add these two: Stephan Virgil, CB, Virginia Tech Brett Johnson, S, Cal
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Brett Johnson 6'1" 194 S, California War Room analysis Bottom line: Johnson got his first real action as a junior but has had a hard time staying in the starting lineup. He shows flashes of talent but struggles to stay consistent and be in the right place on every play. He seems to get lost at times, which hurts his team. Johnson is not likely to get drafted and will have to really impress in spring workouts to get a chance as a free agent. Even then, he will struggle to carve out a long NFL career.
Steely Dan Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Antonio Coleman 6'2" 255 DE, Auburn War Room analysis Strengths: Displays the quickness to get off the snap and pressure the edge. Has long arms that he uses to break up passes when not able to get pressure. Has the instincts to make plays in both the run and pass game. Uses his hands well to jolt the lineman and get up field. Locates the ball well and has the agility to chase the play down from behind. Good pass rusher. Weaknesses: Seems to have more athletic ability than football skills. Struggles to be consistent on every down and can be handled by a single blocker too often. As he chases down plays, tends to get tall and lose leverage. Has issues getting off blocks to make plays in the run game. Can have his aggressiveness used against him with misdirection plays. Bottom line: Coleman shows the athletic skills to be a difference-maker on the defensive line, but at times he does not use his ability to make all the necessary plays. He can be useful as a pass rusher but will need to improve his technique and work on secondary moves. He can be a liability in the run game because he is too easily blocked and also seems only interested in going after the QB instead of keeping his contain responsibilities. Overall, he is too good of an athlete to pass up as a fourth-round selection. He could work his way into becoming a pass-rush specialist and could improve to be an every-down player.

I wanted us to take him in the 6th round, very pleased.
