40 Times for the DL (so far)

[jterrell]

Agreed. Those times are just sick for men that large.

but not quite as impressive as Ware running a 4.56

 

[jnday]

been pimpin him for a while but marvin austin in round 2 would be a steal. OT Smith then Austin is looking sweet to me.

He has the tape, not just ameasurables guy, yes some off field issues but given the chance he can help at DE and NT.

It has been reported that some of Austin`s interviews were so bad that teams took him off their draft board , but I agree with you. Austin is a beast. He really must have an attitude problem. He was rated as one of the top DT prospects this year but he faded after the suspension.

How has Ellis looked? Haven't been able to watch today.

 

[jnday]

The guy I want is Dareus but Jordan and Ballard running 4.7 is impressive.

My biggest concern with Darius is that he is a two down player. During one of Bama`s pregame shows , his coaches said that his play had dropped this year hen he had to play three downs. That id the reason that he had spells where he disappeared for several plays a game. It would be hard to justify taking a two-down player at 9. He compares with Spears in many aspects of his game.

Unofficial of course:

DEs
Sam Acho, Texas 4.63 1.66
Chris Carter, Fresno State 4.67 1.62
Ryan Kerrigan, Purdue 4.67 1.65
Ugo Chinasas, Oklahoma State 4.67 1.63
Cam Jordan, California 4.71 1.69
Allen Bailey, Miami 4.76 1.67
Adrian Clayborn 4.81 1.77
Ricky Elmore, Arizona 4.91 1.74
Demarcus Dobbs, Georgia 4.92 1.70

DTs
Christian Ballard, Iowa 4.70 1.66
Marvin Austin, UNC 4.80 1.63 @ 309 lbs.
Nick Fairley, Auburn 4.82 1.76
Brandon Bair, Oregon 4.82 1.73
Marcel Dareus, Alabama 4.92 1.66 @ 319 lbs.
Pep Levingston, LSU 5.03 1.84
Corey Liuget, Illinois 5.06 1.75
Kendric Ellis, Hampton 5.19 1.97 @ 346 lbs.

If Darues falls to #9, I will be in absolute shock.

5.19 is fast for a guy the size of Ellis. Moving 346lbs that fast is scary.

Conditioning can be improved upon.

Amazing that teams were able to neutralize him when Bama's DL lost 3 players to the NFL.

And by the way 95%+ of 3-4 DE's and NT's play 2 downs only.

If they're good anyhow. If teams are running all over your DE/NT in a 3-4, you won't ever go into a nickel or dime defense to get them off the field.

Did quinn workout today? And if so, does anyone have the #s?

 

[InmanRoshi]

Really impressed with Watt putting up a 4.78 time at 290 lbs.. He's a lot better athlete than people were giving him credit for. I like Jordan a lot too, but I would have no problem taking him at #9. We just need more pocket penetrators in our Front 3. If you're sticking with Igor another year as a starter, you're basically conceeding zilch for playmaking ability at one of your spots.

 

[Woods]

M Austin's 10-yard split was very impressive.

We should definitely be able to get a quality DL in the 2nd or 3rd round even.

I agree. I really like what I saw from Watt today.
