Pats take
Kareem Brown
DT | (6'4", 290, 5.05) | MIAMI (FLA.)
Scouts Grade: 66 Selected by: New England Patriots
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 28(127)
Strengths: Possesses good height and adequate-to-good bulk. Has a wide wingspan and shows more room on his frame to get bigger. He is a fine athlete for his size. Displays very good initial burst and the consistent ability to penetrate when fresh and giving good effort. He shows closing burst to the quarterback and has become much more instinctive as a pass rusher. He has long arms and big hands. He has a powerful upper body. He flashes explosive playmaking skills. Shows good closing burst to the quarterback and also when pursuing ball carriers from behind.
Weaknesses: Has been an inconsistent performer throughout his career. Comes out of his stance too high at times and loses all of his power when he does. Must learn to play with more consistent leverage and to use his hands more effectively. He does not do a good job of disengaging from blocks and he seems to lack ideal awareness. He gets knocked off his feet entirely too much. His must improve his array of pass rush moves.
Overall: Brown was redshirted in 2002. In 2003, he saw action in 11 games (one start; Tennessee) and made 26 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and four sacks. Brown appeared in 12 games (one start; North Carolina) in 2004 and finished the year with 28 total tackles, six tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. In 2005, he once again served as the third defensive tackle playing in all 12 games (one start; Clemson) recording 46 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries, returning one for a touchdown. Brown appeared in all 12 games in 2006, making 32 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, and forcing one fumble.
Brown is a classic boom-or-bust prospect with limited started experience but loads of upside. He still needs to play with better leverage and more consistency, but Brown seemed to put it all together during the second-half of his senior year. He is an impressive athlete for his size and he displays enough explosiveness to develop into a difference-maker at the next level. A team that trusts its defensive line coach to motivate Brown might want to take a chance on him early in the second-day of the 2007 draft.

Titans
Chris Davis
WR | (5'10", 181, 4.5) | FLORIDA STATE
Scouts Grade: 60
Flags: (B: BULK/SIZE) Lacks size/bulk for position Selected by: Tennessee Titans
Round: 4
Pick (Overall): 29(128)
Strengths: Possesses quick feet, can change directions quickly and can regularly separate from man coverage. Does an adequate job of reading defenses and is capable of locating soft spots working against zone coverage. Catches the ball in-stride, has the elusiveness to make defenders miss and can be productive after the catch. Has the body control to adjust to passes thrown outside frame and flashes the ability to make the spectacular catch. Shows good focus while the ball is in the air and rarely drops passes that should catch. Has some upside as a potential PR specialist in the NFL.
Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk, he doesn't have great upper body strength and physical corners will have some success muscling him out of routes. Needs to improve ability to beat press coverage. Doesn't deliver a violent initial punch and isn't a great blocker. While his speed is adequate he doesn't display the second gear to consistently run by corners. Missed entire 2002 season because of a knee injury but has been durable since.
Overall: Davis tore the ACL in his left knee prior to arriving at FSU and was redshirted for the 2002 season. He played in all 13 games in 2003, made one start against Duke, caught 23 passes for 264 yards (11.5 average), and scored two touchdowns. In 2004, Davis played in all 12 games and caught 14 passes for 228 yards (16.3 average) and one touchdown. He started 12 games and played in all 13 during the 2005 season, finishing with 666 yards and five touchdowns on 51 catches (13.1 average). During the 2003 and 2004 seasons, Davis returned 20 punts for a total of 137 yards (6.9 average). In 2006, Davis recorded 49 receptions for 684 yards (14.0 average) and four touchdowns over the course of 13 games. He also returned 26 punts for 224 yards (8.6 average) and added a rushing touchdown during the year.
Davis has the hands, athletic ability and open field running skills to develop into a contributing sub-package possession receiver if he can stay healthy and get stronger in the NFL. His experience returning punts increases his value a bit, but Davis lacks the size or elite speed to warrant consideration in the draft's first three rounds.

I applaud TT for stockpiling all of these picks. He is building a team for the next decade, the problem is the next decade doesn't start until 2010."Once the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the Republic.”

To the Bolts
Scott Chandler
TE | (6'7", 270, 4.78) | IOWA
Scouts Grade: 74
Flags: (B: BULK/SIZE) Lacks size/bulk for position
Strengths: Is tall with a wide wingspan. Possesses long arms and big hands. A massive target in the passing game. Very effective as a short-to-intermediate receiver. Shows good initial quickness for his size and possesses excellent mobility. Displays good instincts when working as an underneath receiver. His hands are reliable and he does a good job of using his body to shield defenders. Will make the tough catch in traffic. Is impressive when it comes to his ability to pluck the ball and get upfield quickly. Does a fine job of looking the ball in when working in traffic and will secure the ball when taking a hit. He runs hard and will pick ups yards after contact. Has upside as a blocker because of his massive frame. Shows decent technique and is more of a position-and-wall off blocker.
Weaknesses: Does not display a mean streak and needs to become a more physical blocker. Lacks explosive power and fails to sustain his blocks at times. Shows toughness as a receiver going over the middle, but he's too much of a "finesse" blocker. Lacks top-end speed to stretch the seam in the NFL as a receiver. Decent at gaining yards after catch in college, but he lacks the burst to run away from defenders in the NFL. He is not overly elusive in space, either.
Overall: Chandler appeared in six games as a true freshman in 2003 but did not record any statistics. Prior to the 2004 season, Chandler moved from wide receiver to tight end. In 2004, he played in all 12 games, caught 24 passes for 324 yards (13.5 average), and scored two touchdowns. Chandler again played in all 12 games during the 2005 season, this time making nine starts. He finished the year with 552 receiving yards on 47 receptions (11.7 average) and two touchdowns. During the 2006 season, Chandler started all 13 games while amassing 46 receptions for 591 yards (12.8 average) and six touchdowns, leading to a Big-Ten honorable mention selection.
A former wide receiver, Chandler is a developmental tight end prospect with some intriguing upside. He shows good athleticism, ball skills and run-after-catch ability as a receiver, but he lacks ideal speed to consistently stretch the field at the next level. More concerning is the fact that Chandler lacks the strength and toughness to adequately match up as an in-line blocker in the NFL. Chandler grades out as a late-first day prospect in a weak 2007 class of tight ends.

Bears get Beekman
Josh Beekman
OG | (6'1", 313, 5.36) | BOSTON COLLEGE
Scouts Grade: 75
Strengths: Possesses excellent size. Is a thickly built mauling type of interior offensive lineman. Engulfs undersized defenders at the point of attack and can wear defenders down over the course of the game. Does a good job of locking onto the defender's frame, plays with a wide base and can sustain blocks. Takes good angles to blocks, plays under control in space and can get into position at the second level. Gets adequate knee bend in pass set and rarely gives ground to bull rushers. Shows good awareness, keeps head up and does an adequate job of picking up blitzes as well as line stunts. He has shown some versatility playing guard and center during his collegiate career.
Weaknesses: Doesn't have an explosive first step, doesn't show great footwork and is going to have problems preventing penetration working against one-gap defenders. Foot-speed is lacking, has problems redirecting inside after starting outside and is vulnerable to double moves. Doesn't deliver a violent initial punch, doesn't roll hips into blocks and isn't going to knock defenders back. Lacks ideal range, doesn't cover downfield well and may need to shed some weight in order to gain some quickness. Ideal playing weight is under 320 pounds, but he has ballooned to 340 at points during his collegiate career.
Overall: Beekman was redshirted in 2002. He saw action in all 13 games in 2003, was plugged into the starting lineup twice, and played on special teams registering two tackles. In 2004, Beekman took over as the starting right guard for the entire season (12 games). He once again started all 12 games at right guard in 2005. Beekman started all 13 games as a senior in 2006, 10 at guard and three at center.
Beekman is a far better run blocker than he is a pass blocker but he has the size, strength, toughness and balance to develop into an every-down starting offensive guard in the NFL. He also showed some versatility playing center as a senior. Beekman projects as one of the top-five offensive guard prospects in this year's class and should come off the board no later than the third round.
