2006 Live DRAFT Thread

Did anyone see that chick sitting next to Chad Jackson?

Missed it; she's trying to find her sugar daddy.

[CyclonePackFan]

WHO?

[Fritz]

Well, if he ends up in GB at least we'd have someone to look at if the Pack is getting crushed.

[Deputy Nutz]

John McCargo???

I had him as a second even a third

[imscott72]

WTF???? McCargo? Isn't Gabe Watson on the board yet? Wow, surprise here for Buffalo....Wonder what the Bears got in return...

[Rastak]

John McCargo
DT, NC State

War Room analysis
Strengths: Is an explosive defensive lineman with good initial power. Has adequate speed and mobility. Changes directions smoothly. Shows good balance against the run and pass. Plays with good awareness, and has a nose for the ball.

Weaknesses: Is undersized, and must add bulk. Doesn't bend knees well, and plays too high. Can be overwhelmed by big offensive tackles, and lacks the ability to hold his ground at the point of attack. Lacks a closing burst. Has some durability issues because of an \u201805 foot fracture that needed surgery.

Bottom line: McCargo, a junior, is smart and works hard. He shouldn\u2019t be expected to dominate but rather be a solid one-gap tackle. He is quick and athletic and could go as high as the middle of the second round.

Dan Pompei analysis
Tough player who gets overlooked because he came out early and missed six games with a broken foot last season. Has the quickness and power to be disruptive. Changes directions and moves well laterally. Is effective vs. both run and pass. Has some pass-rush moves. Finds the ball. Is getting better each week and should continue to improve.
No. 4 on Pompei's DT rankings

Is Mike Sherman drafting for the Bills?

[OS PA]

Wow! Bills have the worst scouts! DT John McCargo? They should have sat where they were in the 2nd and still picked him up. I bet they sold the house too.

[Bretsky]

In terms of Mangold, the real question is whether TT believes Well and/or White is a real NFL center. If he thinks so, then you pass on Mangold. Besides, won't he be available later in the second round anyway, when the Packers are picking again (okay, I'm pretending they sent JWalk packing). Centers don't often get drafted that high.

My guess is that TT trades down. He wants more picks and there will be a market for the 36th pick. You read it here first, folks.

Unless somebody falls then it's a good idea to trade down and add an extra third.

Mangold may be too good to pass up though; best C in the draft, and if he's the best C or OG TT may snatch him.

[Scott Campbell]

Looks like we should have been watching more NC State games this year.

[imscott72]

Ok, well this is good. Keep pushing all these 1st rounders down the board...We're gonna end up with somethin good at this rate...

DeAngelo Williams
RB, Memphis

War Room analysis
Inside running: Is a short-but-powerful slasher who decisively hits the hole. Shows vision and patience but doesn't hesitate when he sees an open cutback lane. Only needs a crease at the line. Will burst through the hole and bounce runs to the outside. Shows quickness; doesn't hop or hesitate on cuts. Shows excellent body control and change-of-direction skills, and runs with his pads low to gain tremendous leverage. Will run over defenders in the hole, and can move the pile in short-yardage and goal-line situations. Lack of height allows him to get lost behind his linemen until he bursts into the second level. Grade: 8.1.

Outside running: Is a shifty runner with good -- but not great -- elusiveness. Uses balance, body control, quickness and/or stiff arms to beat defenders in the open field. Is tough to tackle and will drag defenders. Outruns linebackers and runs over defensive backs. Has a second gear but lacks breakaway speed. Uses blockers well to setup runs downfield. Grade: 8.1.

Blocking: Lack of height works against him in pass protection. Is a willing blocker and shows great pop and leverage at the point of attack. Often resorts to cutting defensive linemen and struggles to sustain blocks. Must improve blitz awareness. Grade: 7.5.

Hands/routes: Shows promise as a receiver. Creates mismatches against linebackers. Shows reliable hands, runs decent routes, recognizes coverage and will improve with experience. Snatches the pass at full speed and tucks it quickly to become a threat after the catch. Can catch downfield passes over his head. Grade: 7.9.

Durability: Has an injury history -- broken leg in '04, MCL tear in '03 and a knee sprain in '02. Did answer questions with an injury-free, workhorse-like 310 carries in senior season. That showed durability but it also could hurt his stock because he was overused, taking too many hits. Grade: 7.5.

Bottom line: Williams lacks ideal height but is a powerful back with enough bulk, strength, speed, quickness, instincts, vision and discipline to be a feature back. He appears to have great character and never complained about his inferior supporting cast in college. Williams won't fit every GM's feature-back model, but he will be drafted somewhere in the middle of the first round.

Dan Pompei analysis
Workhorse back is the all-time NCAA all-purpose yardage leader. Runs shiftily and plays off blocks exceptionally well. Has outstanding vision and patience. Stays on his feet. Can squeeze through cracks and is slippery between the tackles. Knows how to avoid big hits. Is not a burner; lacks exceptional burst. Does not run with much power. Doesn't have ideal height but has a thick build. Some consider him a third-down back. Ball security is a minor concern.
No. 4 on Pompei's RB rankings
