2006 Live DRAFT Thread

[Scott Campbell]

You guys have seen more drafts than I so I'm going to give myself an excuse and hope to be as on as you all in a few years.

Partial, you get some cred too but I don't like you so I'm not going to give you a mention

It doesn't matter who was right about who we picked. The only thing that matters is that Ted needs to right, and Hawk has to work out.

[Rastak]

My friends college roommate, who's brother delivers pizza for a national chain that I can't mention just sent us this information.

Suzy Kolber is hot.

priceless; I think hot sports reporters should work topless.

That would work for me.

[Rastak]

Haloti Ngata
DT, Oregon

War Room analysis
Against the run: Is massive and wide. Is unmovable at the line of scrimmage. Possesses freakish strength; can maintain the point of attack against double- and triple-teams. Doesn't just occupy blockers; can shed \u2018em and make the tackle despite double teams. Sometimes relies too much on power and doesn't use proper technique. Must maintain a stronger base. Grade: 8.4.

Pass rush: Shows initial quickness, size and power to collapse the pocket as an interior bull rusher. Doesn't utilize hands to beat opponents cleanly; relies on brute strength to overpower them on way to the passer. Doesn't project to be much of an NFL pass rusher. Grade: 7.8.

Initial quickness: Has impressive agility and athleticism, and gets a great initial jump off the ball. Changes directions well, and even drops back into coverage in zone-blitz schemes. Grade: 8.5.

Run/pass recognition: Anticipates double teams. Struggles to use pass-rush moves after expecting run at the snap. Struggles to sniff out draw plays and screen passes. Grade: 8.0.

Pursuit/tackling: Is surprisingly active in pursuit. Has good lateral movement. Never gives up on plays, and has surprising closing speed when trailing plays from behind. Is a powerful tackler. Has trouble breaking down and making open-field tackles. Grade: 8.4.

Bottom line: Ngata is the most dominant inside presence in the draft. He has the perfect body type for a nose tackle in a 3-4, but he also has the athleticism to play either tackle spot in a 4-3 scheme. He must develop better technique -- his pure strength alone won't cut it -- but is a rare talent with potential to be chosen in the top five. He likely will be the first defensive tackle drafted.

Dan Pompei analysis
Is enormous with a rear end as big as a billboard. Has rare power and can toss aside blockers. Has a good first step. Can collapse the pocket. Blockers can't budge him. Has good balance. Hits ball carriers like a ton of bricks. Must be in a two-gap scheme or play nose tackle in a 3-4. Weight could be an issue. Is raw and needs to learn to use his hands. Isn't very explosive. Doesn't always read as quickly as he should. Doesn't offer much pass rush; his main value is on first and second down. Lacks change of direction. Needs to play harder. Tends to wear down. Hasn't been much of a playmaker. Plays too high and allows blockers to get leverage.
No. 1 on Pompei's DT rankings

I'm excited for our #2 pick - basically as high as most years in the Favre era. A good day gentlemen!

Did you guyz read my Matt Leinart post on Jsonline.com, or should copy and paste it here?

Is Walker going to be traded or not?

This a-hole is asking for 10 million up front...So far the Saints and Broncos think he is asking too much.


Shanahan's obvious hard-on for J-Walk is shrinking.

[imscott72]

Wow they're ripping on Ngata on ESPN....Overrated??
