SDOGO.... brockers?

[jblaze2004]

what is your analysis of him? Who would you compare him to that played in the nfl? I set his floor at spears and ceiling at albert haynesworth(sp?) for some reason he reminds me of albert but of course with out the bad attitude problem.

But if you had a choice would you go poe or brockers If both of them are there when you pick?

Not even close. If he played at University X instead of LSU you would have nothing to go on.

Anyways, somewhere in here there is a thread where I already did this. I'll find the link and post it.

I answered a lot of the same questions in this thread:

I just don't see this as a bigger need than OLine and S.

If Barron/DeCastro/Brockers is there, it would be disheartening if we take Brockers.

Cajun is kind of an LSU fan. If he can't get on board with Brockers............

PSU/LSU

Just don't see it. Honestly, I watched him play maybe 5 or 6 games this year and wasn't overly impressed. And certainly not at 14. If I had to guess I would put him at a late 1st to second round pick.

That's JMO and I do defer to SDogo and some others but I wasn't impressed enough to get all excited.

Brockers has to be a worst case pick.

I can't see him being above other guys.

Sturm didn't have great things to say.

Michael Brockers is a player I spent a lot of time on. I watched plenty of his last season at LSU and I just don't like what I saw. He was on a dominant defense with plenty of parts that scared people, and yet he merely blended in. He is not without intrigue, but I just cannot get too excited about a player who has two main traits of interest: 1) his arm length and wing span and 2) his ability to plug the run.

Yes, he does have special physical traits, but so does Cowboys project Clifton Geathers. In fact, Geathers has better wing span, arm length, and height. Yet, the Cowboys are Geathers' 4th team and he was picked in the 6th round. Brockers is being touted as a top half of the 1st round guy. And the ability to plug the run? That is something you must have, but again, I shouldn't have to spend pick #14 to get a run plugger. Marcus Spears and Kenyon Coleman both plug the run, and that is why we are looking for defensive linemen in the first place. The Cowboys wanted more than that. They wanted a full-time defensive end who can play in every situation. At this point of his career, Brockers is not anywhere close to that guy. Here is what I wrote in his full profile last month:
