A few notes on Michael Brockers...

[DWAREZ]

Even though Brockers is not my top choice at #14 (assuming the others are gone), clearly he has good skills with a nice upside.

The long arms and size combined with fine character and a great motor are attractive and certainly he will only get better.

If all the others are gone, I have no problem with drafting Brockers!

Nice call. I'd take that, any day, if we could be so lucky.

As another posted mentioned, the fact that he showed up at the combine out of shape really sends a red flag up for me. That goes to the "makeup" that Garrett and Jerry talked about yesterday during the presser.

If I was going to a job interview and had millions of dollars on the line, you dam well bet I would show up in the best shape of my life.

Forced a throw that was a pick and batted down a pass.

commentator says at 5:35 he wouldn't trade Brockers and Chavis for Henderson and Haynesworth!!!!

Anyone saying he played "bad" that game clearly has no idea what to look for.

Thanks for posting the more I read about him the more I would be happy with the pick he is starting to grow on me. Him or Decastro I could live with.

In the Georgia game he pushed the pocket, split double teams, snuffed out screens, got his arms into the QB's "window" and caused a couple big plays... dude is an animal.

He wasn't out of shape.
Scouts oohed and aawed when he walked in to weigh in like they do for tyron smith because he was massive and leanly muscled.

He wasn't great in drills and had been working with an actual DL coach not a combine training team (like the workout warriors do) pre-combine.

LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers‘ college career was lacking in production, but he’s got the physical-build part down. During Saturday’s Combine weigh-in for defensive linemen, Brockers measured in at 6-foot-5 and 322 pounds with 35-inch arms, according to NFL.com’s Marc Sessler.

Per Sessler, Brockers’ weigh-in “caused a stir.” His wingspan is a mammoth 83 7/8 inches.
