DB,

Did you say you did not like Odrick as a 34 DE? I am just wondering why.

Not a fan of his ability to stand up at the POA on the outside when dealing with more athletic OT's.

Both have 1st round potential. Casey is higher rated as of now, but watch Smith, his stock could sky rocket.

You are correct Tyron Smith will be high on a lot of draft boards come April.

He's 280 right now isn't he? I see Bunting compares him to Ferguson, but would a team put a top ten pick toward a guy who cannot block anything but zone?

He's listed at 280 but he doesnt look it. He looks closer to 300 and is super athletic. Im not sold on the Ferguson comparison yet, but I can see a few similarities.

The thing with ZBS guys isn't the fact that they only played in the scheme, its other stuff you look for like field awareness, can they spot blitzers coming from the 2nd level? Is there head on a constant swivel, how's their footwork?

You can test the other stuff like how fast their kick step is, how strong they are, etc.

The thing that hurt Bruce Campbell though most of all was just a complete lack of experience.

Floyd is as good as gone, Id be shocked if Rudolph left early though.

I would flip shiznit if Gabbert ended up declaring, getting him in the late 1st early second is absolutely ideal. He's the perfect guy for Fitz to groom for a year or two.

I'd have no problem with drafting him.

Id have a big problem with spending that high of a pick on him.

I wouldn't see him going late 1, but in the 2nd round, I wouldn't mind. he was inconsistent this year because he still is developing. But I strill like him better than Locker based on what we've seen (not potential). I think he would be a very good fit due to his size, arm strength, and familiarity with spread sets and the shotgun that we seem to want to run so much. I like his ability to read defenses and go through progressions and I like that he shown an ability to make something happen with his arm or feet when he rolls out. To me, he should go back to school and show he can gain more poise in the pocket, he seemed to get happy feet and would pull it down to early at times. And like I said, I think he can further develop his decision making a.l.a. Mallett.

But if he declares, I'd love to have him develop both those areas under Fitz and Chan. I really like what I think he can become.
