You don't have Ngata off your board. Lawson is a 3-4 LB in my opinion--like Wimbley.Originally posted by motife"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Tye Hill
CB, Clemson
War Room analysis
Coverage skills: Has all the ideal attributes except size. Is quick, and has blazing speed. Makes sudden cuts. Shows good awareness and instincts in zone coverage. Is good in tight man-to-man coverage. Is excellent in bump-and-run coverage. Is smooth and fluid to turn and run with the fastest receivers. Tracks passes nicely. Must improve technique. Grade: 8.0
Run/pass recognition: Is improving, but remains a work in progress. Gets a quick jump on passes in front of him. Has a nice feel for receivers breaking off routes. Is learning to read quarterbacks' eyes. Grade: 8.0
Closing speed: Is strong in this area. Makes quick and smooth cuts. Doesn't lose much in transition. Has the explosive closing burst and speed to catch up to passes. Grade: 8.5
Ball skills: Is an outstanding playmaker. Shows good instincts, but must improve ability to locate the ball. Is tough, physical and aggressive. Has terrific leaping ability to challenge receivers on jump balls. Is a threat to score after any interception. Grade: 8.3
Run support: Is aggressive against the run, but will struggle in the NFL because of his lack of size and bulk. Is tough and not afraid to fill the hole hard. Is a solid open-field tackler with good technique. Grade: 8.1
Bottom line: Hill is a former running back who continues to learn to play defense. He will benefit greatly from working on technique with NFL coaches. Despite a lack of ideal size, he is a terrific athlete and plays big and tough. His stock soared after a great week at the Senior Bowl, where he dominated receivers daily. Hill is an explosive playmaker and could be the first cornerback selected.
Dan Pompei analysis
Is short, but partially compensates with long arms. Has solid coverage skills and explosive speed. Can chase down receivers from behind. Has acceleration, burst and quickness. Is competitive. Hits well for his size, but can get run over by blockers. Shows tight hip movements, and doesn't change directions well. Plays bump-and-run better than off-coverage. Lacks great ball skills.
No. 5 on Pompei's CB rankingsComment

On AJ Hawk...
Great Pick!! Noone was talking about Hawk (negatively) whatsoever.
TT didn't buy into all this combine hype.
Houston bit right into Mario Williams..All that pressure in Houston..for a guy who continuously takes plays off.
Smart pick!! Let's see if someone bites on Walker and gives GB more picks...give Brett Favre some more targets.Comment

The good thing for Dolfans is GM Randy Mueller is a draft guru.. No more Rick Spielman.
Ex-GM Rick Spielman is on ESPN doing what he does best...blowing carcinagenic plumes of smoke up NFL fans a$$es!Comment
