Kelly the Dog Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Leonard two big 4th down plays....one run and now a great catch and juke I'd love a guy like that in round two. If, of course, we get a DT or OL in round one.

Dan Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Not watching much college ball, I get most of my knowledge of college players and potential draft picks from this site. With that in mind, I've watched most of the Senior Bowl and I must say, if this Okoye kid is available at #12, we better pick him. Size or not, he just seems to know what to do out there. I know its based on 1 game, but taken in context with what others here have said, I think it's just a no brainer. He's a good player and its a position of need for us.
Frez Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Brian Leonard is a "pure" football player. I'd like to see him beef up just a bit and play TE. Brian's heart says he wants to play RB in the NFL but I'd bet he play any position asked of him. He's going to make some team really happy when he steps on the NFL field and plays his heart out. He's a good kid.

Okoye is who I want the Bills to draft all along. I have a feeling he has a monster combine and shoots up draft boards. I pray he is available at #12 and I pray even harder Levy does not reach ie Donte Whitner
Nanker Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 One of the few nice things about living in Princeton is that I've had a chance to see Leonard a few games this year and he reminds me a lot of Moose Johnson from 'Cuse. The Bills could do a lot worse than picking him up in the 2nd. He's not fast, but he's dedicated and the term "throwback" comes to mind. But fugettaboutit. Marv's going to pick a punter in the 2nd round.

He grew up and his family is located about 30 miles from me. I just hope he doesn't end up on another team in the AFC East besides the Buffalo Bills.
BuffaloBilliever Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Why is there so much dissing of Marv on this board? Last years draft was awesome for us. 5 starters in seven rounds
AKC Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I have a feeling he has a monster combine and shoots up draft boards. It's tough to project him at his sub 290 weight. It seems there should only be about 4 or 5 teams in the league who might covet a DT his size enough to spend a #1 on him.
Brand J Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Whats the score? Who stood out besides Leonard?
The Jokeman Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Whats the score? Who stood out besides Leonard? The final was North 27, South 0. This AP story gives a good recap.
Fewell733 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 also NFL.com has some game highlights up on the main page.

John from Riverside Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I think that Okoye is meant to be a bill..... He is a very good young player at a position of need We have a fairly high pick to take someone of that position
34-78-83 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Looks like Patrick Willis brought his stock up to me... "Patrick Willis of Ole Miss lead all defenders with 11 tackles and was named the South's defensive player of the game."
Nanker Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Looks like Patrick Willis brought his stock up to me... "Patrick Willis of Ole Miss lead all defenders with 11 tackles and was named the South's defensive player of the game." Well he got pounded on his ass by Josh Beekman on Tony Hunt's first TD. Don't watch the clip "1st Quarter Team 'North's Tony Hunt runs 7 yards for a touchdown.' " Willis getting knocked like a basketball is featured on the replay of that run in the full "1st Quarter 'First Quarter Highlights.' "
Lori Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 It's tough to project him at his sub 290 weight. It seems there should only be about 4 or 5 teams in the league who might covet a DT his size enough to spend a #1 on him. Trouble is, one of those is Tampa Bay, and Gruden supposedly loves the guy. Would he take Okoye in the top 5, though? Or maybe try to trade down a couple spots (but still stay ahead of us)? Lots to talk about for the next couple of months...
Ozymandius Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I seriously wouldn't worry about Okoye being available at 12. He's a fine player but he isn't some sort of freak human being that everyone is going to be jumping all over to take in the top 10. Compare his body to Alan Branch's for example, and I'm not saying that Branch will be the better player, but for draft projecting purposes, the monster/freak is usually going to be way more coveted than the normal-sized player. Okoye will very likely be there at 12.
N.Y. Orangeman Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Looks like Patrick Willis brought his stock up to me... "Patrick Willis of Ole Miss lead all defenders with 11 tackles and was named the South's defensive player of the game." Many reports have him falling on the basis of this practice this week.
