McNight could be this season's LoBo (but hopefully with more contribution). Bruce Campbell reminds me of King Dunlap (lots of physical gifts, but raw and little experience). I'd like to add a TE. Hernandez isn't much of a blocker, I don't think, but he's a little insurance if Ingram isn't 100%.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620157295698136927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-46116719450229733302010-04-24T06:50:42.395-04:002010-04-24T06:50:42.395-04:00I'm not mad at the Daniel Te'o Nesheim pic...I'm not mad at the Daniel Te'o Nesheim pick because all indicators point to he being a good player.

I'd have much rather picked up an Decker, Ghee/Franks/Cox, Owusu-Ansah, Dwyer, Chaney, or Edds and bet on the fact that we could still get Te'o at 105 (or 121, for that matter). <br /><br />But otherwise, a very solid second day.bphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03221820130488659330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-77071998366639690052010-04-24T00:53:39.546-04:002010-04-24T00:53:39.546-04:00Incidentally, with one of the many picks we've...Incidentally, with one of the many picks we've stockpiled in the very late rounds I'd like us to draft LaMarcus Coker. He was a Freshman All-American RB at Tennessee but got kicked out for drugs (pot). <br /><br />Supposedly he's got his life back together and hasn't caused problems lately (he played for the Hampton Pirates). Why take a shot on him? Well, he is / was as fast as Chris Johnson, C.J. Spiller or Jahvid Best (he was multiple time TN state champ in the 100m and 200m and was clocked in the mid 4.2s). <br /><br />Might as well take a flyer on him as if he pans out he could be really good.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340692895145746076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-8816451579893807512010-04-24T00:17:29.258-04:002010-04-24T00:17:29.258-04:00I loved the Allen pick but I'm not crazy about...I loved the Allen pick but I'm not crazy about another DE, especially one Mayock had listed as a 6th or 7th rounder. I wouldn't have minded picking him there or even in the 5th but we picked him in the 3rd.<br /><br />We really need another CB (I'm hoping for the guy from IUP) and someone who can man the SAM LB (someone with experience with it and not someone we move to it from another position). I was hoping for Lee from Penn State but we helped Dallas with that.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07340692895145746076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-47970553072580952762010-04-23T23:45:57.892-04:002010-04-23T23:45:57.892-04:00RB Charles Scott is still alive on my wish list. ...RB Charles Scott is still alive on my wish list.

I don't like when they do that but that's their MO. Te'o's short shuttle and cone times were very good indicating good COD.

Either they don't like him or he has some injury issues that will end his career?<br /><br />Anyway, as I said in the draft thread, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Te'O-Nesheim is actually the best player to come out of this draft for us. <br /><br />According to that footballoutsiders article he has elite vertical jump / short shuttle numbers:<br /><br />"When it comes to sleepers, SackSEER rates two prospects above the rest: South Carolina linebacker Eric Norwood and Washington defensive end Daniel Te'O'Nesheim. Eric Norwood's Combine numbers are similar to those of Clay Matthews a year ago, and he had better college sack production. Te'O'Nesheim has been billed as a productive, high-energy player who lacks the athleticism to compete at a high level, but his 37-inch vertical leap and a 4.18-second short shuttle at the Combine are enough to convince SackSEER."Myronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201745184051579199noreply@blogger.com
