I'm waiting till the senior bowl and combine, that way I can see them more. There is alot of DE/OLBs in this draft that could be a 3-4 OLB.

no its the shuttle drill you should look at
remember when Dallas drafted Ware, Parcelles said he was sold after he saw him run the shuttle and saw how he could flip his hips and control his balance

He looks pretty fast to me:



Played RB in high school, can drop back into coverage and has excellent hands.

Side note: The speed shown in the video above on the fake punt return is slowed down. You can see the real time video here.

I am really certain that OLB will be our first pick (over CB).

He's definitely someone to consider.

Also, if is to come to Dallas he would be a 34 OLB, which means he'd likely be required to drop 8-12 lbs. In fact, he'll likely be doing that anyways in preparation for the combine. That should only help his speed/quickness.

I like to read http://www.drafttek.com/default.asp, just to get an idea of who some of the players are. I think they're about as accurate, in the end, as anything else. They don't have Ingram going until the 3rd. They project Dallas picking 18th at this point. Their first 3 round projection for us is:

Rd 1 Alfonso Denard - CB, Nebraska
Rd 2 Markelle Martin - S, OK State
Rd 3 Kheeston Randall - 3-4 DE, Texas

Never heard of Randall, but then again I live in Seattle.
There's always more to the story.

THANKS for the great link.

Opinion

I'll let you a player I'm intrigued with.. Whitney Mercilus from Univ. of Illinois, he's projected to be an OLBer in the NFL. Leads the Div. 1 and the Big 10 in sacks with 14.

He actually reminds me a lot of Greg Ellis. Very long and lanky and pretty athletic.

That would be a solid start to the draft...

LaMarr Woodley - 4.75
Tamba Hali - 4.87
Terrell Suggs - 4.84
James Harrison - 4.85

You get the idea.
All I can say is WOW.

If that is not enough to disqualify 40 yard dash times from consideration (at least for certain positions), I don't know what could do the trick.
