Derrick Johnson did 21 reps @ 225 lbs. Not spectacular, but solid for a long armed guy.

I see Will Matthews got his 40 time down to 4.8, on what was considered a "soft" track... he's looking more and more draftable every day, Rack... LOL...

Is Gil Brandt a Texas alum? I mean he practically slobbered all over the keyboard while typing that. And are we supposed to be awed by Benson's speed? Saying he ran faster than Emmitt is like saying a QB is taller than Montana.

What's with the "LOL"? YOu act like he's already been drafted... LOL

If you weren't a Texas homer you wouldn't be all over his jock. Period.

Yeah I didn't get that one myself. It's almost as if he were making an excuse for the average time, and making it out as if it were an excellent time or something.

Actually, I like the guy because he looks like the second coming of Moose Johnston to me... he puts people on their butt as a blocker, he picks up blitzes pretty well, and he can even catch the ball (a little)...

I can try, but the pronunciation is a little strange.

"Udfa"

C'mon, how am I supposed to know when your Texas Longhorn manlove is real or not?

It looks like Derrick Johnson didn't do anything to really elevate or lower his stock here. Anyone still think he falls to 20 like we have supposedly been hearing? Or at least in the late teens?

Rack Bauer · 03-23-2005

I'd be shocked if DJ dropped to #20.

Pointguard01 · 03-23-2005

He wont drop to 20. This draft isn' deep enough up top for that to happen.

T-Newman41 · 03-23-2005

I would also be shocked if he dropped to 20, but why do some of the so called "experts" keep predicting that Derrick Johnson is going to go much lower than we think he is?

I hear people make references to Steven Jackson, who supposedly was suppose to go much higher than he did, but in truth, Jackson wasn't that great of RB, just ranked #1 in not a very deep class.

Maybe because they actually talk to NFL people to get their scouting evaluations instead of 31yearoldvirginlivinginmomsbasement.com.
