Rey Maualuga all over again IMO.
Kids one hell of a football player but needs to run well enough for some to clip him on their high board. Lord knows 3rd down value is key in the eyes of many when it comes to LB prospects. That said, Teo could be a rockstar in this Packers fit and I bet most 30 front teams in general will show love there.
Teo fits in every way but I'm not sure TT will feel the need with the group at hand right now all under contract for a few years. TT has a habit of drafting players high at spots where the paper is about to run dry, a la Neal, Cobb, Sherrod, ect. |
I think he's a lot better than Rey. Teo is a guy who can change defenses.

I wouldn't only because I think a guy like John Jenkins could also make this defense pop. I need to see more, but he looks like Raji with more anchor and slightly less pass rush. I doubt we pick anywhere close enough to even venture a trade up for either though. Both will go top 15. |
I dont think you would see the gains from Jenkins like you would from Lotulelei. A fresh Lotulelei is damn near unblockable, that bull rush is just devastating. I am super high on Jenkins, there aren't many guys that big that have that kind of movement. That said, what Lotulelei brings to the table, I'd give up what ATL gave up to go get that guy. Raji is a damn fine football player and would only be better if we had a guy who could spell him, same said for Star. |

| Anybody seen much of Jake Knott? I haven't seen much of him, but from what I've seen, I think he could make a very good 2 down SILB. He's actually quite a bit like Hawk IMO, except he has a little more height and seems to be more instinctive in coverage. I think he could be a great two down cheap option that could be had in the mid rounds. |

| Been watching BYU-Utah State. Does the Cougar's Ezekiel Ansah have an NFL future? He looks the part as a 6-6, 280 lb long, and athletic guy who's green as seasick grass. Will almost certainly draw JPP comparisons. |

Just put him in my most recent mock.

I have a hair higher grade on Teo at this stage in the process as well. That's Teo's game all day long though and Rey's field grade was very high end for the like. If Rey was a Cowboy or something he would be a star IMO. Not sure there was a worse possible home for him than the one he landed in and he is still damn solid. Best field grade of all the USC boys that year. Just did not have the upside or 3rd down value of Clay and Cushing. One hell of a two down thumper though. Could have been All-Pro as a 30 Mike IMO.
Just sayin, was by no means cutting on Teo there!

Palmy which RBs do you think would be a fit in the Packers O? Also what are your thoughts on Randle from OKST?

Knile Davis does seem like a RB that would fit a ZBS, but I don't know how he's looked since after the injury.
I do like Zac Stacy, but I doubt TT likes him enough to pick him before another team does. |

I would not touch Davis with a draft pick right now. Too much ability to bust and bust hard at this point.
Anyone see what happened to Bell during the IU game? Saw he went out to injury but didn't know if he came back in or why he was out in the first place.

I wouldn't say I wouldn't take him anywhere, but I wouldn't take him before day 3. I was all over taking Bryce Brown in the 7th last year as a pure potential pick, and would do the same with Davis.
I think you hope someone else takes him before you do, though. |

But Brown and Davis are totally different situations.
Junior year of HS: played four games because of a broken collar bone
Senior year of HS: broke ankle first game of the year, missed season
Junior year: hurt ankle again and misses season
redshirt Junior year: says that he's going to come out even before the season starts
at 6'0" 226 he seems like a perfect fit but he didn't even crack over 4 YPC against Jacksonville State, ULM, or anyone yet this year
2012: 82-273-3.3 2 TD (0/6 games over 4 YPC)
2011: 0 games
2010: 204-1322-6.5 13 TD (11/13 games over 4 YPC)
2009: 33-163-4.9 4 TD (every time he had 5+ carries was over 4 YPC)
2008: 4 games (HS)
2007: 1 game (HS)
Plus he's only caught like 20 catches his entire college career. I think McCarthy wants a back that can catch out of the backfield
(he had -4 yards today vs Auburn )

The comparison between Brown and Davis more "you take them with a late flyer based on what they could maybe do for you, not on what they've actually done, since the track record is not encouraging."
I honestly have no idea what's wrong with Davis this year, but his stock has taken as big a hit as anybody else in this draft (though in terms of total dollars, Amerson may be out more, since he started higher.) |

I guess it's not like TT hasn't taken a banged up RB before late (Starks)
Been pretty solid on my "we don't draft a safety early this year" stance but I will allow it if it's Matt Elam. (I remember his brother letting the cat out of the bag on NSD, I think he played for the Browns at the time. I'm getting old.)

Anyone have input on jonathon cooper (north Carolina) at center?
Would you rather draft him to play center or Mario benavides?

I know odds are minimal that he comes out this year but man do I want Bradley Roby on this team.
