Danny Batten/LB/South Dakota State:
H 6-3 #250
projected 40 4.69

Scouts have been raving about Batten. The college defensive end has been spending most of his time at middle linebacker and looks like he belongs. He made plays in coverage, has gone sideline-to-sideline against the run and just like college, plays with a non-stop motor. When he took a few reps at defensive end in one-on-one drills he beat blockers. As one scout told us, Batten is just a good football player

02/03/2010 - Texas vs. the Nation, Tuesday: Batten has been the most impressive of the group, beating Eastern Illinois Chris Campbell - he has flashed good footwork, length and strength at left tackle this week - badly in limited one-on-one work, reading and knocking away a slant route in five-on-seven, and blowing up the fullback in the hole while playing inside linebacker. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com

Isn't Jason Williams supposed to be our "new" MLBer? :confused:

Very small school and possition change? The guy may slip into the back end of the draft.

Danny Batten
Height: 6-4 Weight: 250
Projected 40: 4,69

Strengths

Wiry build with no rocks in his pants. Violent tackler. Possesses a nice club with his left hand/arm. Lines up at LDE and is a high-motor upfield attacker. Fast, and has a nice closing burst to the QB or the RB in the backfield. Nice tight spin move. Looks he has the flexibility and smarts to convert

Id be more intereseted in his 3 cone and shuttle times. We dont play the Tampa 2 so our ILB arent asked to cover the deep middle. He would play behind Bradie and quite frankly we do need a physical LBer to backup Bradie.

You're right, forgot about Hodge; can't wait to see what a year's worth of NFL strength training, etc. for JWilliams, Hodge, Butler, & BWilliams will translate into!
