Mock 4.0

I like it but Donald won't make it out of the 1st round.

I think once the combine comes and Players like Jernigan, Tuitt, Nix interview and do the combine stuff donald will be pushed down some.

Here are some factors

Donalds size
Can he gain more weight without it affecting him
Bench press reps
The spandex olympics(drills)

People can awe at whatever he did in college. But NFL Gs would eat a 288lb DT alive, thats just a simple fact. So how much he goes heavier to the combine and how it affects him if it does. That plays a big part to the draft.

The bench press reps always play a big part in OL and DL. And with him having short arms he should be able to do do a good amount of reps. If he comes in with a low number he will drop a little. Thats just reality with the combine and OL and DL players.

40 times and them 3 cone drills, all play into this factor.

Then there is the factor of ceiling. Jernigan Tuitt and Nix all have a higher ceiling. It just comes down to teams that think if Donald has peaked.

Getting back to Donald Cyril Richards in practice, ill point out Caraun Reid did it in the game. And he did it for a sack. Richards is just slow and is going to struggle in the nfl with faster DTs.

Now i think he could go to the Combine with about 5lbs added and that would be good for him. I think the Falcons will try to trade down and grab him if they can. Theyre about to lose DTs and Smith loves him. With the players at the top of the draft i dont think the Falcons will have a hard time finding a team to trade down a few spots. A Team like the Titans looking for a QB or LBer.

Donald didn't just beat Guards with quickness. He bull-rushed projected 2nd rounders Cyril Richardson (343 lbs) and Gabe Jackson (339 lbs).

Donald will likely be near the top in the combine quickness/agility measurements. The bench will be interesting. The player that he is compared to, Geno Atkins had a better than average bench number at 34 reps.

If only JJ were smart enough to pick DLine that often in a draft. I actually like your picks better than what i think JJ is gonna pick (ooo shiny ... QB, oooo shiny DBs)

OK like i said so did Caraun who is a 3-4 RD prospect. By the way Reid did have a better game than Donald. 2 sacks and alot of pressure on his plays. Maybe these G were just overhyped? And these DTs exposed their bad footwork?
