Buffalo took, not one, but two RB's I had targetted for Green Bay... Lynch, and now they just took Dwayne Wright, RB, Fresno State.

Damn them. May they implode this season.

DeOzzie would be a solid pick in getting POP off the field.

Steelers trade up for a punter.....


Daniel Sepulveda
PT | (6'2", 229, 4.59) | BAYLOR

Scouts Grade: 59

Flags: (D: DURABILITY) Player that can't stay healthy Selected by: Pittsburgh Steelers
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 13(112)

Strengths: Possesses excellent leg strength and gets good distance on punts. Improved hang-time during first three seasons and doesn't out-kick the cover teams as much as did earlier in collegiate career. Runs with good power, has good top-end speed and can execute fakes effectively. Has experience holding on extra points and is somewhat versatile. Played linebacker in high school and is an adequate open field tackler.

Weaknesses: Though hopes to be ready for the 2006 season opener tore right ACL in spring of 2006, underwent reconstructive knee surgery and durability is a substantial concern. 2004 Ray Guy Award Winner appeared to take a step back in 2005 and needs to have a strong 2006 season. Though flashes the ability to pin teams deep, lacks ideal accuracy and kicks end up in the end zone far too much.

Overall: Sepulveda was redshirted in 2002. He played in all 12 contests in 2003 and punted 87 times for 3,750 yards (43.1 average), with a long of 62 yards, and 23 punts inside the 20-yardline. In 2004, Sepulveda won the Ray Guy Award after punting 62 times for 2,850 yards (46 average), with a long of 69 yards, and 26 punts inside the 20-yardline in 11 games. He again played in every game (10) in 2005 and punted 62 times for 2,863 yards (46.2 average), with a long of 78 yards, and 13 punts inside the 20-yardline earning second team All-American honors (Associated Press). Sepulveda has also held for the field goal team. He tore his right ACL while playing pick-up basketball in the spring of 2006 and underwent surgery on April 27th. After undergoing successful knee surgery, Sepulveda returned in 2006 and appeared in all 12 games, finishing with 66 punts for 3,068 yards (46.5 average), with a long of 78 yards, and 26 punts inside the 20-yardline. He earned the second Ray Guy Award of his career and a consensus All-American selection.
Sepulveda, a left-footed punter, has the power and athletic ability to develop into an excellent punter but he has some durability issues and he needs to work on his accuracy. Sepulveda is one of the premier punter prospects in the 2007 class and he projects as a mid-to-late round pick.
