Darius Walker declared early and goes undrafted. That sucks!

What about the QB Jaws kept raving about - Matt Moore from Oregon State?
He sounds intriguing. Any word on him?

He may not be fast but he is far from a slouch.He broke Hershel Walkers single season rushing touchdowns. 42 rushing touchdowns as senior in high school is off the hook I don't care who you are.I don't particularly care about having him but I don't think the kid is a slouch and that has nothing to do with Notre Dame.

I'm amazed that he didn't get drafted. I guess the combine snub really hurt him be he stood out somewhat at the Senior Bowl.
I'm wondering is there isn't some character issue here that we haven't heard about. He's way too talented not to warrant a 7th and neither he nor Mozes went.
Adam Jones' and Chris Henry's alma mater may have mattered in the eyes of the NFL.

I like that Abante kid too. Maybe he isn't an NFL prospect but he was very productive at Wake and helped make them relevant. Heck there are worse things than being a slow short linebacker who just makes tackles.
I also am interested in that ultra small backer from Arkansas who put up crazy stats.
With all the size and bulk we have, I am fine with going for a productive exception who might be too small or too slow.
************************
Sam Olajubutu, Arkansas: At a shade under 5-9, it is easy to see why Olajubutu won't hear his name called early on draft day weekend. That said, despite being short, the 227 pound Olajubutu is a legitimate prospect. Fans of SEC football certainly know what he can do. There may not have been a more dominant linebacker in the conference over the past two seasons -- and remember Patrick Willis lined up at Ole Miss. Voted First Team All-SEC each of the past two seasons from his weakside linebacker position, Olajubutu was able to dominate in a conference blessed with spectacular size and athleticism.
He averaged 116.5 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks over the past two years and was a 40 game starter for the Razorbacks. While his height is an obvious concern, it also helps in some areas. Certainly offensive linemen asked to block a moving Olajubutu will find it difficult to sweep him off his feet due to his low center of gravity and excellent lateral agility. Furthermore, there may not be a linebacker in this draft with finer cognitive skills. Some will try to move Olajubutu to strong safety and his 4.61 forty during his Pro Day provides proof that he has the speed to handle such a move. Regardless of where he lines up, Olajubutu is going to surprise at the next level. Simply put, if this kid were 2-3 inches taller, he'd be a 1st or 2nd round pick.

I've watched Brandon play for his entire WVU career and never once heard anything negative on him. I'm not in the loop with any high ranking people; so, I could be wrong. I think you hit it when you said because maybe he played for WVU. He does have alot of potential and I would love for Dallas to take a chance on him.

It's just awfully weird that WVU didn't have a single player drafted when they had three players that almost every draft site projected to be in Mozes, Myles and Sheffey. Mozes is the first Rimington Award winner to not be drafted.
