I guess now that I'm back to posting you can give me two or three teams.

Welcome back! I posted round three on page 1, please note that some teams have more than one selection. The real draft is coming up fast, so from now on I'll check in at 7AM and 7PM central time, your picks will need to be in by then or I'll pick for you. There are still some openings in round three if anyone else wants to draft.
mission is on the clock...

[packrulz]

With 27 votes in Ricky Sapp, OLB, Clemson is the winner, time to continue the draft, mission is on the clock...

Overview
After 22 career starts, Clemson had Ricky Sapp play more of a linebacker role in 2009 despite the fact that he was coming off a partially torn ACL in his right knee.

The position switch paid off. Sapp posted career highs in tackles (60) and tackles for loss (15), registering five sacks (tying his career high) and a forced fumble.

The rangy and explosive Sapp has flashed playmaking ability since backing up former the late Gaines Adams. He appeared poised for a breakout season in 2008, tying his career high with 10 tackles for loss at defensive end, before partially tearing the ACL in his right knee. Sapp's 10 tackles for loss in 2008 came in just 347 snaps, as opposed to the 620 at the same position in 2007.

Though he had 16 career sacks, Sapp's explosive first step makes him one of the more intriguing pass rushers of the 2010 draft. He'll struggle to add the weight necessary to remain at defensive end in the 4-3 scheme and isn't experienced enough for most teams running this alignment to project him to linebacker. He's best suited to be a rush linebacker in the 3-4 scheme. Only his injury history may keep him out of the top 50 selections.

Analysis
Read & React: Appears to have the instincts to handle the transition to linebacker. Has been asked to primarily rush the passer as a defensive end, but quickly locates the ball and has the agility and acceleration to change direction. Hustles downfield in pursuit.

Run defense: Lacks the bulk necessary to stack and shed as a defensive end. Can get bulled over in the running game and relies on his lateral agility and swim move to get past blocks, but too often takes himself out of the play. To his credit, Sapp hustles downfield and makes many of his plays in pursuit, showing the straight-line speed and agility necessary to move to linebacker.

Pass defense: Intriguing potential, despite his limited experience in coverage. Has a rare combination of straight-line speed and agility for his size. Drops into coverage as a zone defender from his defensive end position and shows good balance and the agility to re-direct in space. Good straight-line speed.

Tackling: Effective drag-down tackler from behind. Wraps up securely when taking on ballcarriers laterally or head-on. Flashes explosiveness as a hitter, but too often is a catch tackler. Needs to add strength, especially in his upper body.

Pass Rush/Blitz: Natural pass rusher. Experienced standing up and with his hand on the ground. Explosive burst and good flexibility to get under the tackle's reach and around the edge. Active hands and a good swim move to get past the initial blocker. Lacks strength to bull rush NFL offensive tackles. Relies on his agility to get past the blocker. Struggles to disengage once tied up.

Intangibles: Better athlete than football player. Will require an extensive Combine medical check after multiple injuries while at Clemson, including a partially torn ACL in his right knee in 2008. Top prep prospect who signed with Clemson over Oklahoma, Florida State and Georgia. Three-year South Carolina regional champion in the 100 meter (10.76), 200 meter (21.0), and 4x100 meter relay in high school.

Positives: Lanky build with plenty of room for additional muscle mass, especially in his upper body.

Negatives: Often generates pressure off the edge, but only has 12.5 sacks in 33 games. Lacks strength at the point of attack. Lacks the bulk to stack and shed blocks when properly engaged.

NFL Comparison: DeMarcus Ware, Cowboys

[RashanGary]

I'll take Chiefs and Raiders.

[Brandon494]

I'll take Cardinals and Bengals. Patriots don't have a pick in Round 3.

Sorry Joe but I already took the Cardinals, 49ers, and Browns.

[mission]

Baltimore continues to find support for Joe Flacco... they select Brandon LaFell LSU

[packrulz]

The Cardinals took Mays in the first, they like Koa Misi but they could use a pass catching TE like: Rob Gronkowski ,TE, AZ

Freak Out is on the clock...

[Guiness]

The Redskins select QB Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame. Russell Okung is mighty tempting but the Redskins have no business passing on a franchise QB. Clausen might be the most NFL ready Jr. QB to ever enter the draft.

This that might change with the recent developments?

[Joemailman]

Just a reminder the 2nd round isn't over. Freak Out is on the clock with Dallas.
