Keep your eye on 2 prospects that might be there in the 5th round when the Packers pick. AJ Jefferson a CB who is an awesome kick returner. OLB Arthur Moats

Biography: Two-year starter who also saw action with the first team as a sophomore. Awarded All-American and All-Conference honors as a senior, while also being named CAA Defensive Player of the Year. Finished his senior season with numbers of 90/23.5/11, leading the team in tackles. Junior numbers included 65/18.5/11.5.

Positives: Explosive college defensive end expected to transition the linebacker in the NFL. Explodes off the snap with a terrific first step, fast off the edge, and shows ability in pursuit. He quickly changes direction, displays speed to the sidelines, and cuts the corner off from running backs. Breaks down well, playing with good knee bend, fast in every direction of the field, and always on balance. Keeps his feet driving up the field and works hard until whistle blows.

Negatives: Undersized and handled by tight ends at the point of attack. Rarely asked to make plays moving in reverse and was able to pin back his ears and rush the quarterback in college.

Analysis: Moats has been one of the better small school pass rushers the past two seasons and has been a disruptive force, consistently blowing up plays in the backfield. He's a pass rush specialist who will be brought onto the field in third-down situations and lined up as either a one-gap defensive end or outside linebacker for an NFL team.

Projection: 4th

Day 3 - nore than half the draft still to come.

It's easy to forget that Ted stays true to his board rather than reaching for need and he proved that again yesterday with his Neal selection.

I still think he's going to find a good edge rusher to complement Matthews. Dom has stated taht the defense's number one goal this year is to be in the top 5 in sacks. They can improve through scheme, but they also need another guy to get it done.

There are still some good edge rushers available, a number of which will fall to the Packers. Here are some to follow:

Eric Norwood
Ricky Sapp
Brandon Sharpe
George Selvie
Thaddeus Gibson
Danny Batten
Lindsey Witten
O'Brien Schofield

Ted's likely to find a gem today somewhere, somehow. Could he trade up or give up a vet to get back into the 4th? Anything can happen today in an attempt to nab his gem.

Don't forget the Zoltan [/list]

[Fritz]

Anybody looking for an inconsistent but still young left guard? He could be had for a fourth, perhaps.

We already have an inconsistent but still young left guard.

He could be packaged with a 1st rd DT who's due to become great any day now, or another who likes to kick back with his buds in the off-season and toss back a few energy beverages mixed with pharmaceutical phun.

Now you're talking.

What about Coker or Whitehead? I'd be fine with Schofield in 6th, too.


Norfolk State FS Terrell Whitehead A three-and-a-half-year starter, Whitehead was D-IAA's version of Ed Reed as the Spartans' ball-hawking centerfielder. He finished his career with a ridiculous 18 picks, including six total as a sophomore and senior. Whitehead entered college at a featherweight 160 pounds, which may explain why he was so lightly recruited. But he got up to 6-2, 200 pounds by his senior year and was the anchor of Norfolk State's outstanding pass defense, which ranked first in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Whitehead also garnered first-team All American honors in the FCS. Speed and physicality are question marks for Whitehead, but his dynamic playmaking ability is hard to find.
Draft Projection: Late-sixth to seventh round

Hampton RB LaMarcus Coker Coker originally signed with Tennessee as the nation's No. 2 overall all-purpose tailback recruit. A state champion prep sprinter, Coker made first-team freshman All America in 2006 and won the Vols' starting job over Arian Foster in '07. Violating the university's drug policy, though, got Coker kicked out of school. He resurfaced at Hampton and ranked second in all-purpose yardage in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in 2009. Explosive in the passing game, Coker averaged 15.5 yards per reception in the Pirates' decidedly run-heavy offense. He ran two sub-4.4 40s, timing as fast as 4.27 at November's East Coast Bowl, a sub-Division I all-star event. Coker carries lots of red flags, but can burn at 5-10, 195 pounds and has game-breaking potential as a pace-change back.
Draft Projection: Late-fifth to sixth round

How did Austen Lane fall - he was a 2nd-3rd round prospect?

And he's from WI

He's still on the board and will probably fall further. He's falling because he hasn't performed against top grade competition. He's accumulated stats in lower division and hasn't shown much when playing better teams.

I'd still take him as a project.

I would take Whitehead only if there's a corner out there named Blackhead we can nab to pair him with in the backfield.

I think he was looking at round 4-6

And bring Jeff Smoker back to the NFL pass the goods to Coker.

"It's Smoker to Coker! And Coker pops Whitehead!

What a play!"
