D1 - Ryan Matthews - RB - Fresno State – I want an OT here, but I don't think a great one will be there. I'll settle for a guy I think is the most underrated player in this draft. Matthews reminds me of Adrian Peterson, from the size/speed/burst combo to the college game tape, everything about this guy reminds me of AP. Go watch AP in college, then this guy. Same guy who runs through tackles, makes nasty cuts to and through the hole and never, EVER gets caught from behind. Even outruns Kyle Wilson of Boise State a couple times. Impressive. AP had a couple injuries. This guy had a couple injuries. The biggest difference is AP played for a national contender and this guy played for a forgotten Fresno State team. AP dropped to 7. This guy could drop to 23 in a loaded draft.
D2 – Rodger Saffold – OT – UI – 3.5 year starter at LT, Saffold held up great against big 10 competition. He was said to be the best player at the EW Shrine Game, then had a great combine. Good experience, great athleticism, hard worker. Seems like a great pick.
D3 – Jason Worilds - OLB - VT - 32 QB pressures last year, Worlids was in the backfield as much as any prospect in this draft. His 10 yd split and 3-cone are elite this year. I think Brad Jones has really good overall starting OLB potential but Worlids is a filthy pass rusher. He's bring his VT special teams toughness, he could see action in pass rushing situations and learn the ropes behind Jones.
D4 – Walter Thurmond– CB – Oregon – Oregon has been producing some pretty good secondary players. Thurmond was on his way to being the next upper round prospect before his knee injury. Could return punts and play corner.
D5 - Alterraun Verner - CB - UCLA - An instinctive, natural zone player and reliable tackler, Verner projects well into our zone defense.
D5 – Shawn Lauvao - OG - Arizona State - Said to be a "rock" on the line because he never misses his block, Lauvao has had problems staying healthy. He's a rare big, agile guy. He'd fit very well in our scheme. Similar skills and praise as Sitton. Sitton was a big guy who could move. He always blocked his guy but slipped with small school concerns. Same write up on Lauvao, except he's had a couple injuries that cause him to tumble. One more year of Colledge until this guy gets his NFL legs under him and we never look back. Lang stays at RT and everyone is happy in Packerland. Even RG.
D6 – Kurt Coleman – SS – OSU – Size drops Coleman late in the draft. He has everything else. Just football, he's one of the best secondary players in the draft, but being under 195, there just aren't many NFL safeties his size.
D7 - Brent Bowden - P - VT - A well rounded punter, Bowden has a big leg, good touch, a quick get off, has developed consistency as a senior and is a good holder.
