Wow, this is a shockingly high upside draft.

Bulaga was the most boring of the picks. After that, we've gotten some impressive athletes.

Neal, Burnett, Quarless, Newhouse. . . .Wow, we're fishing for stars, clearly.

[Bretsky]

What next.....? CB, LB or ST?

no
no
no

Crystal ball?

going opposite of what we think

Expect a QB next

[Pugger]

With TT passing on all of these CBs he and Capers must feel Pat Lee will be able to step up and play.

Not that it matters now, but here's the list of guys we brought in for pre-draft visits who tend to be the late round picks.

Terrence Austin, WR, UCLA (5-9, 165, 4.45, 15, 35½): Second-team all-Pac 10 kick returner as a senior. Fourth in conference in kick returns at 24.1 and third in punt returns at 9.15. Had 37 catches for 455 yards and four touchdowns. Broke Maurice Jones-Drew's school mark for all-purpose yards with 1,878. Did not score a return touchdown. Probable free agent.

Antonio Robinson, WR, Nicholls State (6-1, 196, 4.54, DNP, DNP): Junior college transfer, played two seasons at Nicholls. Averaged 21.1 yards per catch and 10.4 yards per carry in the team's triple-option offense. Reportedly ran in the 4.4s at pro day. Will be considered for returns. Possible late-round pick.

Robert Johnson, S, Utah (6-2, 203, 4.58, 13, DNP): Junior college honorable mention who found success at the Division I level and is a draft riser. Was 6 when his father was shot and killed. Overcame great odds to become a prospect and has been active in mentoring youth. Played mostly in the box in '09 but has experience playing deep middle. Bench press total is a bit shocking, but he has long arms and had 70 tackles. Was invited to visit, but didn't. Rising up the charts and will go in late rounds.

Danny Batten, DE/OLB, South Dakota State (6-3, 246, 4.71, 30, 32½): Enormously strong defensive end who played inside and outside linebacker in the Texas vs. the Nation all-star game. Projects outside for a 3-4 team. Division 1-AA all-American who had 85 tackles, nine sacks and 17 tackles for loss last year. Had 12 tackles, a sack and 1½ tackles for loss against Minnesota. Grew up in Gilbert, Ariz., and won first-team all-state honors in rugby. Rising up the charts and will be drafted in the late rounds.

Nick McDonald, OL, Grand Valley State (6-4, 306, 5.21, 27, 27): A first-team Division II all-American at left tackle last season who has been drawing interest after a solid pro day workout. Played right guard his junior year. Mother died when he was 14, and father abandoned him and three siblings, who were forced to split up. Nearly drank himself off the team as a freshman but grew up and has said he'll join the Marines if an NFL career doesn't work out. Probable free agent.

Vuna Tuihalamaka, ILB, Arizona (6-1, 230, 4.66,18, 33½): Honorable mention all Pac-10 pick last year who had 68 tackles, 5½ for loss and one interception. Transferred from El Camino Junior College. Was Mission Valley Conference defensive player of the year. Speed has intrigued scouts. Also visited the Colts, Cardinals, Falcons, Ravens and Seahawks. Possible late-round pick.

Jonathan Crompton, QB, Tennessee (6-3, 222, 4.87, DNP, 31): Highly recruited quarterback who never lived up to his billing at Tennessee. Started 19 of 35 games. Completed 224 of 384 for 2,800 yards and 27 touchdowns in '09. Threw 13 interceptions. Had a string of 142 pass attempts without an interception. Mid- to late-round pick.

Alex Henderson, RB, Northern Arizona (5-10, 210, 4.42, 19, 37½): Gained 4,800 yards from scrimmage in four years. All-Big Sky first-team selection. Gained 1,166 yards with 12 touchdowns and a 4.6 per carry average in '09. Had 28 catches for 315 yards and two touchdowns. Rushed for 265 yards and two TDs against Eastern Washington in '06. Possible late-round pick.

Duane Brooks, WR, Stephen F. Austin (5-11, 185, DNP, DNP, DNP): Transferred from Central Michigan in '08. Caught 117 passes for 1,070 yards and six touchdowns in '09 and 59 catches for 808 yards and four touchdowns in '08. Reportedly ran in the 4.5s in private workouts. Played quarterback at Central in '06.

Mikell Simpson, RB, Virginia (6-0½, 210): Rushed 85 times for 386 yards (4.5 average) and five touchdowns in '09. Also caught 27 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown. Injured hamstring against Indiana after scoring four touchdowns. Also suffered a neck injury. Broke his clavicle in '08.

Daryn Colledge - hope your bags are packed just in case.

yup

he can stick his tender up his fat ass now

[Brohm]

NO . WHY. GET A OLB/CB... There is no way this guy makes the team...

tauch and Wells were 7th rounders, never know! Lights a (bigger) fire under Barbre/Giacomini~

[Lurker64]

Pretty good prospect at Guard, mediocre prospect at tackle. Maybe a RT, but probably an OG.

Getting crowded on the OL, Colledge, Giacomini, Barbre, Dietrich-Smith, and maybe even Spitz and Wells are on notice.

Marshall Newhouse OG

bye bye Colledge

Yea have to agree now..

A trade I hope? If not thats another miss in the 2nd round...

His trade value is in the crapper. Don't see that happening..Probably outright release..

[pbmax]

NO . WHY. GET A OLB/CB... There is no way this guy makes the team...

How on earth can you say that when you haven't seen him?

[Gunakor]

Marshall Newhouse OG

bye bye Colledge

Not gonna happen. Colledge is a starter, Newhouse is a guy taken with the very last pick in the 5th round that hasn't played a down in the NFL yet. Even if the new kid beats out Colledge for the starting role, which I doubt is going to happen, Colledge would be retained along with Spitz as utility backups on the line.

[imscott72]

Alright guys..I gotta go spend some time with the wifey..Try to get back later for the next pick..
