Shows great speed and and the range to be a threat sideline to sideline. Looks fluid in his hips and has above average coverage skills for a LB. Actually has a natural backpedal dropping into zone coverage and looks like a SS at times. Very athletic and agile. Good motor and never gives up on the play. Seems to play with alot of instinct. One of the most impressive things about Ernie is how physical he is on the field considering his size. Looks like he loves contact. Throws his body around with reckless abandon. Engages blockers before they can get to him and therefore sheds well for a player of his size. Solid tackler that wraps up low to bring his man down. Explosive at times when blitzing and pressures the QB well. Frankly, there isn't much not to like about Ernie. Obviously doesn't have ideal size for an OLB however, if he was a couple inches taller and 20 pounds heavier I think we'd be talking about a Top 5 player. As it stands I see him as a guy who could go in the Top 10, but won't last past 21. <br /><br />Tommy's Notes on Ernie Sims <br /><br />Only a Junior. Moves exceptionally well. Very agile, nimble. Ripped. Big hitter. Excellent COD ability. Very intense. Might be too aggressive. Might remind you a bit of Greg Lloyd. If he was bigger, would be an ideal MLB. Plays with good knee bend. Wrap up tackler. Good effort. Will chase plays. Takes bad angles at times. Can explode off the ball. Tremendous burst. Size is a concern. He's about 6'0, 225. He plays SLB for FSU. Runs well. Can hit/tackle with the best LBs in the country. Very agile. Great COD ability. Played SLB at FSU. Didn't make many plays, but LB Coach Kevin Steele said that he always graded out very high. The problem was that not many opportunities came his way. Had an assault case last summer and that has to be checked out. Was charged with Domestic Battery and Non-violent Resisting Arrest. <br /><br />If the arrest was simply a one time incident and he's turns out to be a solid kid, could go as high as pick #9 to Detroit. I wish he'd made more plays. He hasn't shown a nose for the ball, but has the physical ability to be a force on defense at WLB. Will bring attitude to the field as well. <br /><br />http://scoutsnotebook.com/modules.php?name=rn_outside_linebacker&page=erniesims.html<br />I remember when Trent Cole was drafted, I had never heard of him so I went online to see who he was. The write up I found said something like he’s too much of a tweener, too small for DE and not fast enough of OLB, however if a D-coordinator can find a way to use him in the right System he will be very productive and well worth the pick.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006357435917470092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-32532935330962515022010-04-21T15:58:48.157-04:002010-04-21T15:58:48.157-04:00RE: Peter King
I don't think the Eagles will ...RE: Peter King<br /><br />I don't think the Eagles will give up #37 to move up 12 spots. I think that pick is virtually untouchable in the halls of Novacare, if only because it will be forever linked to McNabb and you don't want to McDougle the pick.<br /><br />That said, there's a good discussion going in the EMB about a hypothetical trade with the Rams. The deal would be #24 and #121 (4th rounder) for the Rams' #33 and #65. The thinking is if St. Louis takes a DT at #1 they will still need a QB and get anxious to get back into the first for Colt McCoy and pay the 50 point premium (MattWill's language) to get him. That thinking is based upon the Carriker trade as a "make room" move for a DT as well as the relatively "safer" pick of a DT and members' of the Rams' staff coveting McCoy more than Bradford. <br /><br />Lot of variables, obviously (McCoy going in the late 1st being the biggest I think), but I'd do that swap in a heartbeat and bat leadoff in rounds 2 and 3. I'd also probably take less than #65... maybe just swap 3rds.<br /><br />As far as the haul we'd get, there's good precedence for gouging teams that move from the 2nd back into the first - we did it to Carolina, Dallas did it to Cleveland for Brady Quinn... etc.<br /><br />Thoughts on this insanity?Baloophihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192541259692148297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-55916167155940042992010-04-21T15:21:55.110-04:002010-04-21T15:21:55.110-04:00any list like:

It made me think of a couple questions. At the pro level it makes sense that it would be financially advantageous to have scouts cover a region, but from a talent evaluation standpoint, I would have to believe that people can have a special eye for certain positions. At the pro level, do they ever get to a point where you have your board coming together and have your resident DE expert help with final rankings (or maybe it would happen even earlier)? Do you have a position(s) that you feel you do a better job evaluating? Just curious as I await my football form of the Christmas season.Nethermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286221222349418097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-43398789652393468952010-04-21T13:33:07.482-04:002010-04-21T13:33:07.482-04:002002 was the first year I used the web to view pro...2002 was the first year I used the web to view prospects before the draft. Before that it was the previous years Lindy's magazine (if I could find one on import) which listed the top 10 juniors in each position in their opinion.<br /><br />That year (2002) I used TFY draft website and was absolutely smitten by Brian Westbrook and argued constantly over his value with the the guy who ran their message board who valued as a 5th rounder David Meggett type RB.<br /><br />2003 is where I came across GE99's (Tommy's) topic about questions people may have over prospects in the upcoming draft. I have bugged him ever since with all sorts of names. Anthony Carfagno being the greatest prospect never to play a down even on an NFL practise field. <br /><br />This year is going to be a real disappointment. I'll be asleep rather than on a message board sharing in the excitement. If we or any team trade out of the first round, their fans will have to wait at least 24 hours to find out what is next. I don't like it. However, maybe waking up Friday morning will be slightly Christmas like.<br /><br />Finally, Tommy I'm not sure when you will unlock the 2010 draft thread over on the Scouts Notebook, but remember us international fans who will living off scraps on Thursday.T_S_O_Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283968416092444778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-5695605886669073692010-04-21T13:21:55.789-04:002010-04-21T13:21:55.789-04:00I've never heard some of the name you mentione...I've never heard some of the name you mentioned, like Jamar Enzor who?<br /><br />And I still wonder why we didn't go for Witten.Mr_Boomyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824309241516453204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-34836259573865283452010-04-21T13:07:38.630-04:002010-04-21T13:07:38.630-04:00Thanks tommy, I requested for it :D
