Question on Brooks and the supplemental

[Bob Sacamano]

He will be at least a 3rd. And with the interest rising quite possibly a second.

teams will remember Tony Hollings, I doubt a team gives up a 1st day pick for him, esp. a 1st or a 2nd

I haven't seen articles about our interest other than we were represented at his pro day workout. I do believe there's interest there and we'll give it due diligence before anything is done.

I believe there is interest, just that 30 other NFL teams have shown as much interest, as they too were represented at his workout, I thought he was talking about Dallas jumping into one of the frontruners or something in terms of interest

I agree and still think we pass.

I believe we are one of the frontrunners because we run a 3-4.

I think we will make an offer. I don't know what round it will be. Call it an "educated hunch."

so shall we call the Skin fan's hunches on Brandon Lloyd turning into a productive WR, "educated"?

Lloyd can be a productive WR. I just don't see him as giving them a WR corps like Indy, or some of the other teams.

Check out his arrest history - drugs involved

We won 5 SBs because of players who fit this description

Not really, he's a piece of trash.

My head just exploded from the irony overload

hold on, Brooks isn't a skin, that doesn't seem to apply in this case

That would make him the PERFECT roommate for Sean Taylor on the road...

The very act of being a Skins fan marks you as uneducated... it's like a requirement to join the club...

Is that so ?

Anyway, the 49ers and Dolphins also have strong interest in Brooks from everything that I have read/heard.

There were NOT 30 teams at Brooks workout, but around 20-22.

Most NFL guys (former GMs, current GMs, etc) that I have heard talk about Brooks have placed a 3rd round price tag on him.

No, that's what they call "smack"... to which you were supposed to reply with something witty...

Ah well, maybe next time...

The Dolphins themselves say that their interest has been rather overblown in the media... but yeah, I've read the same thing...

Also correct... and the Cowboys were one of a handful of teams reported to have shown the most interest in Brooks...

Most NFL guys (former GMs, current GMs, etc) that I have heard talk about Brooks have placed a 3rd round price tag on him.

That was the talk a week or so ago, but since his workout, I've read that the Niners' interest might push his value up into the 2nd round...

Cowboys eyeing Ahmad Brooks after all?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahmad Brooks has the skills to be a first-day selection in the NFL draft, but two talent evaluators who reviewed the former Virginia linebacker's tapes and workout believe he will slide somewhere between Rounds 3 and 5 in this year's supplemental draft.


Brooks, one of four prospects granted "special" eligibility this week for the July 13 draft, worked out for scouts and coaches on Thursday. He was timed between 4.69 and 4.75 seconds in the 40-yard dash and registered a 32-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-8 broad jump.

While those in attendance were pleased to see Brooks weigh-in at 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds – 26 pounds lighter than his original training weight with Chip Smith of Competitive Edge Sports in Atlanta – most scouts noted that he struggled some with his footwork in the shuttle drills (4.42 seconds in the short shuttle, 7.41 in the three-cone and 11.80 in the 60-yard shuttle) and produced average results in the bench press for his size (19 repetitions at 225 pounds). Still, they felt Brooks looked in good shape.

Known to be an underachiever with some lazy habits, Brooks reportedly has had off-field issues with failed drug tests at Virginia. His agent, Gregory Williams, told team decision-makers that his client had successfully passed five independently administered drug tests in the past three months. Also, a full medical evaluation of Brooks' previous right knee injury was provided to teams by Dr. James Andrews, whom Brooks had visited a few weeks ago in preparation for Thursday's workout.
Most 3-4 scheme teams see Brooks as being a good fit inside, while others feel he can play outside and put in some work at rush end in passing situations. Everyone is in agreement that having a solid support staff and veteran leadership on the defensive side of the ball will be crucial to keeping Brooks in line.

The Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers were the teams that paid close attention to Brooks' workout, which was conducted by Cincinnati Bengals linebacker coach Ricky Hunley. The Packers, Bengals and Giants met with Brooks on Wednesday. Next week, he will travel to San Francisco to visit with 49ers officials and take a physical.
