        • Panthers grab Everette Brown.....



          Overall Football Traits

          Production 1 2005: Florida State redshirts Brown. 2006: Plays in all 13 games (3 starts) and records 27 tackles, including 13.5 TFL and three sacks. 2007: Plays in all 13 games (9 starts) and records 37 total tackles, including 11.5 TFL and 6.5 sacks. 2008: Starts all 13 games and notches 36 total tackles, including 21.5 TFL and 13.5 sacks. Finishes third in the nation (FBS) in sacks per game (1.04). Also forces four fumbles and knocks down three passes in 2008.

          Height-Weight-Speed 2 Possesses adequate height, is thickly built and doesn't have much room left on his frame to add bulk. Possesses good top-end speed.

          Durability 1 Played in all 39 games during three seasons played at FSU.

          Character 1 Coaches have only positive things to say about Brown, especially when it comes to his work ethic.

          Defensive End specific Traits

          Agility/Quickness 2 Excellent first-step quickness. Fires off the ball. Displays good lateral agility and a quick spin move. Appears to adequate but not ideal fluidity.

          Strength/Toughness 3 Thick lower body and displays good lower-body strength for his kind. Lacks explosive upper body power, though. Does not show the violent hands to rip off of blockers as effectively as we would like to see. Does not anchor well versus the run, either.

          Instincts 2 Outstanding snap awareness. Typically the first to fire off the ball. Diagnoses the screen play quickly and consistently. Shows good awareness in limited views of him dropping into underneath zone and reading the QB's eyes. But he can be undisciplined when it comes to outside containment. Not a natural playmaker versus the run. Struggles to locate the ball at times.

          Pass Rusher 1 Biggest asset is his first-step quickness. He explodes off the ball. Shows consistent ability to get the OT off-balance wide and then quickly redirects back inside. Displays a fluid spin move and also some power in his bull rush. Not coached very well as a pass rusher, though. Poor hand usage. Needs to refine pass rush moves and do a better job of protecting his lower body.

          Run Stopper 3 Gets upfield quickly and can be disruptive in the backfield. Adequate strength to hold ground when he wants to  and when playing with leverage. But he's shorter than ideal and can get engulfed by bigger OL. Does not shed as quickly as we would like to see. Needs to learn to use his hands more effectively. Gets sucked inside at times when he should be keeping containment (see: Miami's TD on a reverse early in third quarter).

                  They gave up next years first rounder to move in that spot... Dumb in my opinion... Them and Denver with giving away their first rounders just doesnt make sense to me...

                  • Phins take Pat White (huge shock there!)


                    Overall Football Traits

                    Production 1 Finished his career at West Virginia as the program's winningest starting quarterback (34-8). He is the only quarterback to start four bowl victories in college football history. Owned a 14-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio as a senior. He also owns the NCAA career rushing record for quarterbacks with 4,480 yards.

                    Height-Weight-Speed 4 Adequate size and top-end speed as a NFL WR prospect. Marginal size as a fulltime quarterback prospect.

                    Durability 4 Had some durability issues throughout collegiate career. Missed one game (Syracuse) as a senior due to head injury. Missed time during the previous three seasons (2005-'07) with an array of injuries, including ribs, turf toe, high ankle sprain, shoulder, strained neck and mild concussion.

                    Character 2 Displays good football intelligence and has matured into a confident, more vocal leader.

                    Wide Receiver specific Traits

                    Separation Skills 3 Has shown improvements as an overall leader throughout his career. He has matured into a more vocal leader as well. Rarely throws the ball up for grabs and TD-INT ratio is outstanding, although not a true indicator of pro potential because of scheme and massive passing windows. Has small hands and must do a better job of securing the football as a runner.

                    Ball Skills 4 Is improving but still too erratic as a passer. Will no longer have massive windows to throw through and his marginal height will be a much bigger factor with field vision in the NFL. Still must learn to take snaps from under center and read coverage while dropping. Had trouble at the Senior Bowl with his balance and timing. Does not display proper touch with intermediate-to-deep throws.

                    Vertical Speed 4 Possesses a slow over the top release. Ball comes off his hand fairly well getting plenty of rotation. High release still is not enough to overcome height deficiency as he will have problems with tipped throws.

                    Run After Catch 2 Lacks elite arm strength but certainly strong enough to make all the necessary NFL throws.
                    Competitiveness and Toughness 1 Elite in this category for a QB. Does a good job of breaking contain when under duress. Has big play capability when deciding to run, as he possesses the burst along with top-end speed to hit the home run if not contained.

                      It is interesting, that's for sure. To see how different teams approach the draft, shows the divergent thought. maybe they still want to move peppers and they plan to get the pick back?

                        • Just looked at Bob McGinn's top 100

                          he had Raji at 5 and Matthews at 12
                          TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                            • Giants take Clint Sintim.
                              I can't run no more

                              Say their prayers out loud
                              But they've summoned, they've summoned up

                              • Giants take Clint Sintim



                                Overall Football Traits

                                Production 2 Virginia red-shirted Stintim in 2004. He started all 12 games of the 2005 season finishing with 53 total tackles, 26 unassisted tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, three sacks and one forced fumble. Stintim started all 12 games of the 2006 season finishing with 45 total tackles, 22 unassisted tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss, four sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He started all 13 games of the 2007 season finishing with 77 total tackles, 44 unassisted tackles, nine tackles-for-loss, nine sacks and two forced fumbles. During his senior season in 2008 Sintim started all 12 games recording 70 total tackles, 38 unassisted tackles, 13 tackles-for-loss, and 11 sacks. He also added three pass break-ups, five QBHs, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble.

                                Height-Weight-Speed 1 Stintim's bulk and height make him a good fit as a 3-4 OLB or even as a SAM in a 4-3. Top-end speed is only decent, though.

                                Durability 3 Stintim hasn't missed a game because of an injury but he was slowed by a shoulder injury in 2006 and underwent shoulder surgery during the 2007 off-season. He didn't participate in 2008 spring practices because of an injury.

                                Character 2 Is tough and will play hurt. Good worker on and off the field. A team captain who is passionate about the game of football.

                                Outside Linebacker specific Traits

                                Instincts/Recognition 3 Shows good discipline and rarely gets caught out of position. Reads keys, keeps head up and locates the ball but isn't always as aggressive filling against inside runs as should be. Not the most instinctive LB, especially in space. There are questions regarding his mental capacity. He also scored somewhat poorly on the Wonderlic Test (17).

                                Pursuit/Point of Attack 2 Top-end speed is not great. Plays too high at times and gets driven back. But he plays hard and gives a great effort. He takes solid angles in pursuit. Has long arms and strong hands, which he effectively uses to stack and shed. Plays with a mean streak and flashes the ability to shed blockers once engaged.

                                Tackling 2 Shows adequate body control in space and wraps up. Is tough and fights to finish. Not an explosive hitter, though.
                                Pass Coverage 4 Gets good depth and shows adequate range in zone coverage. Physical and can muscle receivers out of their routes. Hip flexibility is just adequate and is going to have some problems matching up with quicker RBs and TEs in the NFL. Lacks ideal awareness in coverage and appears lost in zone at times.

                                Pass Rusher 2 Owns Virginia's record for career sacks by a LB (27).Can rush the passer from a two-point and three-point stance. Can set offensive tackles up to the outside before redirecting inside. Active hands and flashes an effective rip move. Moves well laterally when running line stunts. Shows good initial burst but lacks elite closing
