Stephone Anthony, Clemson
Measurables: 6-3, 243, 4.56
Stats: 90 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks, 1 interception
Scouts Say: "He's my top inside guy. He's just a very solid guy; he's not a star. He does what you want a middle linebacker to do.'' ..."Very good instincts for the position. He's always around the ball. He can cover and he can blitz.'' ..."You didn't hear a lot about him, because he played with Beasley. But this guy is pretty good. I like him.'' ..."Real physical, real instinctive, makes plays, covers well, can blitz. Did I leave something out?''

Vic Beasley, Clemson
Measurables: 6-3, 246, 4.53
Stats: 25 sacks the past two years, 33 in his career
Scouts Say: "He's a pure pass rusher. He gets there. He understands leverage better than most.'' ..."He's going to be off the board real fast. He's not making it out of the top 10. I'll be surprised if he makes it out of the top five.''..."Best pass rusher in the draft. That's what he is and that's what he does. And he's going to make a lot of money doing it.'' ..."He runs well enough to cover people, but why in the world would you want him covering anyone? Just send him after the quarterback.''

Bud Dupree, Kentucky
Measurables: 6-4, 269, 4.56
Stats: 23 1/2 career sacks; 7 1/2 last year
Scouts Say: "Good athlete, good pass rusher, needs to get better all around.'' ..."Athletic as hell, but no instincts. That stuff bothers me.'' ..."He's not our kind of player. He'll work well somewhere else maybe. We like our linebackers to be more well rounded.'' ..."He's kind of a tweener. He's not strong enough to be an end (in a 4-3) and I'm not sure he does everything else well enough to a linebacker.''

Randy Gregory, Nebraska
Measurables: 6-5, 235, 4.64
Stats: 17 1/2 sacks in two years
Scouts Say: "I like him better than (Ziggy) Ansah (of Detroit Lions by way of Nebraska). Now, you have the (marijuana) thing, that doesn't help anyone. But I think he'll be a good player.''

I really think some of them say the opposite of what they really believe. It's hard to believe that opinions could vary that drastically.
