To Hawks.....
Mansfield Wrotto
OG | (6'3", 317, 5.4) | GEORGIA TECH
Scouts Grade: 64
Strengths: Thickly built and naturally strong. Possesses good upper body strength and flashes a strong punch. Shows good initial quickness and flashes the ability to beat defenders to the point of attack. He can drive defenders off the line when he plays with good leverage. Gets into pass set quickly and uses long arms to ride edge rushers past the pocket. Has quick feet and flashes the ability to redirect inside after starting outside. Though projects at guard, has experience lining up at tackle and is somewhat versatile.
Weaknesses: Is raw and needs to improve his overall footwork. Doesn't always drive legs once in position and doesn't get great hand placement. Doesn't take great angles to blocks and has some problems getting into position. Stands up coming out of stance and occasionally gets stalemated at the line of scrimmage. Lacks ideal experience, can take poor angles to downfield blocks and doesn't show a great understanding of position at this point. Footwork is inconsistent and can lose balance when forced to change directions quickly.
Overall: Wrotto began his career at defensive tackle where he played in all 13 games with 12 starts as a true freshman in 2003, registering 14 total tackles (three solo) including four for loss, one sack, and one fumble recovery. In 2004, he played in all 12 games making nine starts and finished the year with 18 total tackles (four solo), including 3.5 tackles for loss, and 0.5 sacks. During spring practice in 2005, Wrotto worked out as a left guard but was switched back to defense before the season. He then appeared in all 12 games in 2005, this time with 11 starts, recording 13 total tackles (seven solo), 4.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. Wrotto returned to the offensive line for bowl practices in December 2005 where he worked out at tackle. He officially moved over to the offensive side for the 2006 season and started all 14 games at right tackle.
Wrotto is a developmental prospect who isn't fundamentally sound and needs to play with better footwork and leverage. The good news is that most of his weaknesses can be attributed to his lack of experience at the position. If he continues to improve and gets good coaching in the NFL, he has the size, strength and short-area quickness to develop into a starter. As a result, Wrotto is worthy of an early second-day pick.

To Saints
Jermon Bushrod
OT | (6'4", 315, 5.07) | TOWSON
Scouts Grade: 54 Selected by: New Orleans Saints
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 26(125)
\
Strengths: Is big enough to engulf undersized defenders at the point of attack and can wear defenders down over the course of a game. Footwork is sound, and he can beat defenders to the point of attack. Shows decent upper body strength and flashes the ability to knock defenders back. Shows above-average range for his size and flashes the ability to get into position at the second level. Extends arms once in position and can ride edge rushers past the pocket. Keeps head up, shows good awareness and can adjust to blitzes as well as line stunts.
Weaknesses: While Bushrod plays with a decent motor and flashes the ability to sustain blocks, he also plays with a narrow base and lose his balance at times. Doesn't play with enough of a mean streak, hasn't shown great lower body strength and should have problems driving two-gap defenders off the ball. Though he shows adequate lateral mobility, he overextends too much and is vulnerable to effective double moves. Lacks elite initial quickness and should have problems holding up in pass protection if asked to line up on the left side. Played at a small school, and there are concerns about his ability to make the jump to the NFL.
Overall: Bushrod broke a bone in his foot during his true freshman season in 2002, so Towson red-shirted him that year. He started five of the 12 games he appeared in during the 2003 season and started all 11 games of the 2004 season, earning third-team All Atlantic 10 Conference honors. He started all 11 games of the 2005 season and again earned third-team All Atlantic 10 Conference honors, then started all 11 games of the 2006 season and was named first-team All Atlantic 10 Conference.
Bushrod shouldn't be as effective in pass protection in the NFL as he was in college, which means he'll likely have to play on the right side. He also needs to get tougher at the point of attack before pushing for playing time there. However, there is a lot to like about his blend of size and athletic ability. He projects as a late-round pick.

49ers
Dashon Goldson
S | (6'2", 205, 4.6) | WASHINGTON
Scouts Grade: 51
Flags: (S: SPEED) Player lacks ideal speed at position Selected by: San Francisco 49ers
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 27(126)
Strengths: Shows good awareness, reads quarterback's eyes and rarely gets caught out of position when dropping into zone coverage. Times hits well and flashes the ability to punish receivers over the middle. Plays with a mean streak, fills hard when reads run and flashes the ability to make plays behind the line of scrimmage. Squares up to ball carrier, wraps up upon contact and doesn't miss many open field tackles. Has experience lining up at corner and is somewhat versatile.
Weaknesses: Takes too long to open hips when forced to turn and run downfield and lacks the second gear to recover once the receiver gets a step on him. Though flashes good upper body strength and the ability to redirect receivers, footwork is inconsistent and receivers will have some success getting a clean release working against him. Isn't fast enough to run with most receivers as well as quality receiving tight ends in man coverage and lacks the range to consistently cover the deep half of the field. Though flashes adequate ball skills isn't a playmaker in coverage. Lacks elite size and isn't big enough to consistently line up in the box. Missed 2004 spring practice recovering from shoulder surgery, slowed by an ankle injury in 2005 and durability is somewhat of a concern.
Overall: Goldson signed with Washington as a prep but attended Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College in 2003 where he registered 99 total tackles and two interceptions to earn a first team National Junior College Athletic Association All-American selection. He then transferred to Washington, missed 2004 spring practice after having shoulder surgery, but returned to start all 11 games in the fall collecting 64 total tackles including two for loss, two interceptions, seven passes defended, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. In 2005, Goldson again started all 11 contests and posted 80 total tackles, three tackles for loss, one interception returned 76 yards for a touchdown, four passes defended, and one fumble recovery. He moved to cornerback during spring practice in 2006, played in 11 of 12 games and made 50 total tackles including two for loss, intercepted one pass, broke up 10 passes, and recovered one fumble earning honorable mention All-Pac 10 recognition.
Goldson lacks ideal man-to-man cover skills and he didn't have great production at the collegiate level. However, he battled an ankle injury as a senior in 2006 and he looked far more athletic when recovered at the East-West Shrine game. Furthermore, he is a sound open field tackler who has the size and instincts to develop into a contributor for a team that can protect him in coverage. Goldson has some versatility as a potential sub-package defensive back that can play some cornerback in a cover-2 scheme. Overall, Goldson has enough upside to warrant consideration in the early portion of Day 2.

Moss wanted to go to the Patriots since their reasonable aspirations this year were winning a superbowl and Moss wants to win a superbowl before he retires. Moss didn't want to go the Packers because our reasonable aspirations this year are making the playoffs, and Moss has already made it to the playoffs. You don't want Moss in a situation he doesn't want to be in, he's a troublemaker.Originally posted by Merlin
Word I'm hearing is that Moss flat out said that he wouldn't renegotiate his deal if he was traded to Green Bay.</delurk>Comment
