Colts WR Garcon:
trengths: Shows solid initial quickness and can drive corners back off the line of scrimmage. Shows good burst getting out of breaks and runs routes with excellent body control. Adjusts to poorly thrown balls. Runs by defenders at the Division III level and tracks the deep ball extremely well. Times jumps well, does a sound job of high-pointing the football and competes for jump balls despite lack of ideal height. Is able and willing to go over the middle and make the tough catch in traffic. Runs hard and flashes the ability to pick up yards after contact. Has experience returning punts and shows good vision in that role.
Weaknesses: Lacks elite top-end speed and is going to have a much harder time getting behind NFL defenses. Lacks the elusiveness to make many defenders miss in the open field and isn't much of a threat to go the distance after the catch. A bit tight in the hips and does not change directions extremely well. Raw with his route running, as the majority of his routes were shallow crosses and bubble screens in college. Lacks elite awareness and doesn't always get head turned around in time to locate the ball. Hands are inconsistent and he drops what should be routine catches at times. Lacks elite size, doesn't get great hand placement and is an inconsistent blocker. Played at a Division III school and there are concerns about ability to adjust to the speed of the game at the NFL level. Missed time with an injury in 2005 and durability is a concern.
Overall: Garcon began his career at Norwich (Vermont) University in 2004, grabbing 44 receptions for 1,017 yards (23.1 average) and 13 touchdowns in his only season with the Cadets. He hit the ground running after transferring to Mount Union in 2005, racking up 135 receptions for 2,408 yards (17.8 average) and 33 touchdowns. In 14 games as a senior in 2007, Garcon had 67 catches for 955 yards (14.3 average) and 14 touchdowns. In three seasons with the Purple Raiders, he added 176 rushing yards and four TDs on 19 attempts (9.3 average); 20 kickoff returns for 491 yards (24.6 average) and a score; and seven punt returns for 51 yards (7.3 average). Garcon missed nearly four full games in 2005 because of an injury. He also was a member of Mount Union's outdoor track team, and in 2006 ran a leg on the D-III national championship outdoor 4x100 relay team. Garcon has a lot to prove coming from such a small school and he lacks elite top-end speed. But he dominated at the Division III level and he's big, fast and versatile enough to land a roster spot with a strong training camp. He projects as a late round pick or rookie free agent.Comment

Bengals TE Sherry:
Strengths: Reaches top speed quickly once off the line, does an adequate job of tracking the ball downfield and can work the seam. Changes directions well, shows decent burst coming out of cuts and can separate from man coverage. Tall enough to compete for jump balls, flashes the ability to catch the ball in traffic and has the potential to develop into a productive red zone target. Gets adequate hand placement and flashes the ability to lock onto defenders.
Weaknesses: Undersized for an in-line blocker, doesn't have great lower body strength and can driven back. Takes too many false steps, lacks ideal initial quickness and struggles to get into position. Doesn't deliver a powerful punch or roll hips into blocks and isn't going to jar many defenders at the point of contact. Doesn't use hands well, struggles to get a clean release working against press coverage and gets muscled out of routes. Played at a small school and there is some concern about ability to adjust to the speed of the game at the NFL level.
Overall: Sherry redshirted his first season at Villanova (2003). In his first three seasons (2004-'06), he appeared in 33 games (seven starts) and had 52 receptions for 598 yards (11.5 average) and four touchdowns. As a senior, he started all 11 games and finished the season with team highs of 37 receptions and 461 yards (12.5 average), plus five TDs. Sherry is fast and athletic enough to develop into a productive situational receiving tight end but he is one-dimensional and it's imperative he get stronger so he projects as a late round pick or rookie free agent.Comment

I'm sure most teams are doing this. They can't actually sign until the draft is over.Originally posted by Rastak"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

The parents of the unknown OT from Louisville are both from Brazil. We had the Puerto Rican G in Marco Rivera. Now, this guy. Latin flavor. He seems like a card. Another goofy OL from Louisville. He had this to say:
(What did you talk about with Jason Spitz?) Everything is great things. He likes playing up there, he likes the coaching staff, he likes the players, he likes the area. I know it's cold, but he's from Jacksonville, he wasn't used to that, but I'm sure he's gotten used to it. I'm from Boston, so I'm used to cold. But he just says all great things about up there."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Either way, these guys wait for the most cash before signing so I would guess it isn;t a big advantage.Comment
