WAY early guys to watch for 08 draft!

[X-Era]

Heres my favorites (yes need is included):

Desean Jackson WR Cal- stud playmaker in the mold of Santana Moss but bigger
DE Vernon Gholston DE Ohio State (jr.)- Absolutely jacked. Hes as good or better than Will Smith was.
Justin King CB Penn State (jr.)- Great lloking prospect with unlimited potential
Antoine Cason CB Arizona- solid player
Limas Sweed WR Texas- Ive always been a fan of him. Hes not as good as Roy Williams, but hes a better prospect IMO than players like Dwayne Jarrett.

Who I dont like that much at this point:

Calais Campbell DE Miami- doesnt shed OT's that well, hes a bit undersized. I see him as a tweener OLB

Brian Brohm

Watch him if you like, Mike Vick has as much chance playing QB in a Bills uni as Brohm does.

If Losman fails than Brian Brohm in Buffalo is very plausible.

How in the hell is Campbell undersized at 6'8, 282lbs?

Manute Bol cant play DE either.

He isnt built strong enough to be the force on the edge that he should be to be considered that high in the draft.

Most of his plays come when hes not blocked or barely bocked. He doesnt have the leverage you want.

Complete disagreement, have you seen this kid play yet? He's an absolute monster, and is almost impossible to contain, no where is he considered a 3-4 tweener he is way too big for that.

Re: WAY early guys to watch for 08 draft!

I'm a BIG fan of Mario Manningham! He would look good in a Buffalo Bills uniform, IMO. I also think his teammate Jake Long is the real deal. The best player in the '08 draft however is non other than Glenn Dorsey, DT, out of LSU.

Re: WAY early guys to watch for 08 draft!

Definitely way too early to consider the 08 draft but having said that I think the principle needs again will be

Day1
CB .. Justin King, Penn St, 6ft, 186lbs, 4.34 40yds
DT ...Dre Moore, Maryland 6ft4, 300lbs, 4.82 40yds, perfect for the Tampa2
C ... John Sullivan, Notre Dame, 6ft4, 290lbs, 5.05 40yds
WR ..Greg Carr, Florida St, 6ft6, 205lbs, 4.49 40yds

Day2
TE ... Kory Sperry, Colorado St, 6ft6, 260lbs, 4.79 40yds
FB.... Owen Schmitt, West Virginia, 6ft3, 250lbs, 4.81, 40yds
LB ... Ollice Ervin, Buffalo, 6ft1, 232lbs
DE ... Trevor Scott, Buffalo, 6ft5, 258lbs

You can never have too many CBs
We need a big DT who can stuff the run but who can also penetrate if let loose
Fowler needs to have a proper replacement; Preston looks all at sea, and I think Aaron Merz is the RG of the future.
Carr can be the big No2 WR ... plenty of size, enough speed
Equally at TE, a big target is of use - Everett probably will never get there
A big FB to clear the road for Marshawn comes in handy
A good trio at LB needs more depth .... Digiorgio provides some but not enough and equally Kelsay, Denney and Schobel still have gas in the tank so is DE is not a priority but two local lads could certainly slip under the radar but be useful pickups

Solid first two round picks, though I dont know if Sullivan will be a good NFL center or not, I need to see more from him in way of leading the Notre Dame line. Carr would be a good pick with his size and jumping ability. Mine would look a bit more like;
CB Antoine Cason-Arizona St
Moore/DT Andre Fluellen-FSU
TE Jacob Tamme-Kentucky
Carr
CB Chavis Jackson-LSU
Schmitt
OG Andrew Bain-Miami
K Brandon Cotuu-UGA

Ok....one thing, though. You can scratch FB off your list because this offense doesn't use a traditional blocking FB. What we need is another Larry Centers type HB....imagine him in this offense.

Im not convinced of that quite yet, regardless of what the coaches say about it but a better option then would be Jacob Hester from LSU

Re: WAY early guys to watch for 08 draft!

Who said he cant play? I merely said, he doesnt get off blocks well.

I think hes a bit too lanky to be the stud rusher at the next level. Not enough leverage, not enough strength.

Its just an observation and opinion, not a damn indictment..GHEEZ
