going to have to add

Dorin Dickerson, Pittsburgh
Height: 6-2. Weight: 226.
Projected 40 Time: 4.55.
Combine 40 Time: 4.40.
Benchx225: 24. Vertical: 43. Arm: 34.
Projected Round (2010): 3-4.

2/28/10: Mike Mayock gushed over Dorin Dickerson throughout the Saturday workouts, stating that Dickerson "can't drop below the second round." Dickerson is a 225-pound tight end, but he's a dynamic athlete (4.40 40, 43-inch vertical) and an underrated blocker. He'll probably be in the Round 3-4 range.

10/10/09: As Pittsburgh's goal-line back, Dorin Dickerson has six touchdowns on 20 carries through five games.

2/6/09: In his college career, Dorin Dickerson has played wide receiver, fullback, tight end and linebacker.

OT Tony Washington - A bit of an unknown coming out of Abilene Christian (same school as 2009 draftees Bernard Scott and Johnny Knox) Washington showed a good combination of size and athleticism ranking among the leaders in the bench press, vertical and broad jump. More importantly he looked fluid in the drills. He has some character concerns but showed he has the talent to be a day two selection.

Strengths
  • Perfect athletic build to play offensive tackle at the next level - built like a tank
  • Uses long arms and quick feet to dominate speed rushers at the Division II level
  • Dominant run blocker. Finishes blocks and seals the edge on off tackle plays
  • Good decision making. Handles blitz pickups well for a non-Division I football player
  • Good footwork and balance
  • Above average speed and agility
A good project at OT

Regarding Dickerson, I hadn't paid any attention to him until I heard the Cowboys had shown some interest... at that height, he's not a true TE, but he might project as a FB/H-back type... he's a little small for a FB, but has been quoted as saying he expects he can play at around 240... and he wasn't the blocking TE for Pitt, though the fact he's played some linebacker suggests he might be a physical player who could make the move to FB full-time...

Ideally, I'd want a fullback to be a lead blocker first, then a receiver... but with that 40 time, he'd pose a hell of a matchup problem for opponents swinging out of the backfield... throw in the fact he scored 10 TDs last year, and the Cowboys' problems in the red zone, and if he can offer anything at all as a blocker, if he can even be semi-decent in that role, I could get behind drafting him...

Regarding Washington, I've had him on my watch list since I started my preseason research, but thought he might be a tad small for the Cowboys' scheme... but he showed up at some bigger at the combine, and seems to be carrying the extra weight well... he's jumped up my draft board a bit...

I could live with spending the Boys' 4th round pick on Dickerson, and a late round pick on Washington...

I going throw another OT name at you - late round - an you gotta love Balt's scouts - I wish Jerry would hire Ozzie Newsome as GM

Tyler Eastman Maine
Height 6-6 Weight 325
strength at left tackle comes from his thick lower-body build and leg strength, which he used to successfully anchor in pass protection and drills.
Eastman continues to impress scouts. We can report the Baltimore Ravens are taking a hard look at Eastman and like his skills. A source from the team told us the big tackle may have played himself into the late rounds of the draft.
Eastman has been one of the bigger surprises this week. He’s shown skill at left tackle and has looked rather good. Some scouts feel he’d be better off on the right side while others feel he could be an athletic zone blocking guard
