CB Jayron Hosley (Vriginia Tech) 5'10 178 4.38 40 yard dash
http://m.nfl.com/combine/profile/2533061/jayron-hosley/
OVERVIEW
Hosley is an early-entry junior who was statistically a very productive corner for Virginia Tech throughout his career. He is undersized but plays with tenacity and a sense of urgency when around the ball. Hosley is an extremely scrappy player who finds a way to make an impact from the boundary corner position. He could be a late riser in the draft and needs to prove that he can add weight to his frame to compete with NFL size, but he has late first-round value and should find playing time in nickel packages right away.
STRENGTHS
Hosley is an excellent zone corner who has a ton of range and play-making ability around the ball. He has good field awareness to sniff out receiver screens and is a quick reactor when the ball is thrown. He is consistently involved in the play and has good length to disengage receivers from the ball. Hosley is deceptive as a hitter and can deliver a serious blow for such a small frame. He has an impressive bubble and is a very bouncy athlete who can change directions on a dime. He is capable of smothering at the line using his hands and technique, and is good to stay in receivers' hip in-phase. He is a scrappy player who employs an unconventional shuffle step off the ball and technique in general, but he finds a way to make impact plays.
WEAKNESSES
Hosley is very thin and could get abused by the bigger, more physical Larry Fitzgeralds of the league. He has unconventional footwork that could get him in trouble against quicker athletes. He can get lost at times when working with his back towards the ball and needs to be placed within the right scheme to be an effective player.

CB Trumaine Johnson (Montana) 6'2 202 4.5 40 yard dash 35.5" vertical
http://m.nfl.com/combine/profile/253...maine-johnson/
OVERVIEW
Johnson is arguably one of the best and most polished NFL prospects to come out of the Big Sky Conference in quite some time. He is a big, athletic cover corner who has completely dominated his competition to this point in his career. He has the speed and agility to stay with receivers and also the height -- a shade over 6-foot-2 -- to match up in the red zone. Despite playing in the Football Championship Subdivision, Johnson is an NFL-ready corner who is projected to be picked in the second round.
STRENGTHS
Johnson is a lanky defender who has the athletic ability to stay in a receiver's hip and make plays. He uses his arms effectively in press coverage and jabs receivers to interrupt their routes and timing within the offense. He understands when to react in zone and possesses the long speed to take risks there and still recover. He is good at reading the receiver's hips, reacting to their drop and quickly making a play on the ball. He is a very effective tackler and imposing athlete at the position.
WEAKNESSES
Johnson could be knocked for not having experience covering receivers in top-notch conferences like other corners at the top of the draft board. There will undoubtedly be a learning curve for him at the next level. Although he is a good tackler against the run, he can get caught on blocks at times and needs to learn to shed more quickly.

Other, Ronnell Lewis, OLB, Oklahoma.
I honestly don't want any of these players. Can we get a new poll? Weeden's old and has little value as a backup, Osweiler's a ridiculous reach here (I wouldn't touch him before the fourth round), Kendricks doesn't really fit the defense, Mosley doesn't really help much (he's probably worse than the OTs we've got), Robinson doesn't fit the TT mold for CBs (too short and slow), and Wolfe is a reach and double-dips at the position we picked in the first round.
Troy's Johnathan Massaquoi or Virginia's Cam Johnson are also pretty good options for OLB. I think I'd rather have Trumaine Johnson than Josh Robinson if we're going to pick a DB, since Johnson at least can play safety.Last edited by Lurker64; 04-04-2012, 09:46 AM.</delurk>

Honestly all the OLB you listed have 4th-5th round grade value from what I've read. Only guy I've seen games from is Cam Johnson of UVA and not a big fan. Luckily for us TT will not be selecting a defensive lineman in the 1st round like in this mock draft so hopefully that pick will be used on a OLB. I agree though we do need a new list of players.Originally posted by Lurker64 View PostOther, Ronnell Lewis, OLB, Oklahoma.

Rush OLBs grades are all over the place. There are teams with a fourth or fifth round grade on Shea McClellin, but there's also talk of him going in the first. If you like a guy, and he fits the slot, you take him.Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostHonestly all the OLB you listed have 4th-5th round grade value from what I've read.

I like Lewis, and I would be happy to take him at #59.</delurk>

True, only thing I don't like about Lewis is that hes not much of a pass rusher. After signing Saturday, Hargrove, and Muir I'm pretty sure Ted will be selecting a pass rushing OLB with our 1st pick.Originally posted by Lurker64 View PostRush OLBs grades are all over the place.

Agree completely. Been thinking this since before the season was over that he was going pass rushing OLB with the first round pick.Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostTrue, only thing I don't like about Lewis is that hes not much of a pass rusher.

Lewis is a good pressure guy, but didn't get a lot of sacks. But the thing is, you don't need a double-digit sack guy on both sides, if you have a guy that can get home on one side, and a guy who can rattle QBs on the other side, that's generally good enough.Originally posted by Brandon494 View PostTrue, only thing I don't like about Lewis is that hes not much of a pass rusher.

The thing to worry about with Lewis is that he's supposedly about as dumb as a bag of hammers. He also hits like said bag of hammers, so a lot can be forgiven.</delurk>

I thought the general consensus was that Johnson lacks the agility to play OLB. He'd be the pick here if that is not the case.Originally posted by Lurker64 View PostTroy's Johnathan Massaquoi or Virginia's Cam Johnson are also pretty good options for OLB.
