I didn't see the Hurricanes play much this year. Anyone think this guy could be a decent pick in the 2nd....I don't see him dropping into the third round. OTOH, his 40 time is nothing to write home about....
:hmmm: Calais Campbell DE | (6'7", 290, 5.04) | MIAMI (FLA.) Scouts Grade: 88 Flags: (S: SPEED) Player lacks ideal speed at position View by: Round | Player | NCAA School | Position | NFL Team | Flag | All Ranked Players | hell0NFL Draft History You are signed into Insider and have access to the exclusive draft content below. Strengths: Massive DE prospect; unusually tall with very good build, enormous arms (35.75 inches) and bigger-than-average hands (9.5 inches). Displays good initial quickness for his size, can beat blockers to the point of attack and can make plays in the backfield. Plays with decent leverage for a player his height, shows good lower body strength and is capable of holding his own when teams run at him. Has above-average upper body strength, extends arms once in position and flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly. Takes sound angles to the ball, plays with a good motor when fresh and makes plays in pursuit. Wraps up upon contact, shows good body control in space and is an adequate open field tackler that flashes the ability to jar the ball loose. Plays with a mean streak, takes the shortest path to the quarterback and flashes the ability to push tackles back into the quarterbacks' laps. Changes directions well for such a taller DE, runs line stunts well and flashes effective swim and rip move when he shoots inside. Shows adequate awareness and generally does a nice job of sniffing out screens. Doesn't always get hands up when isn't going to get to the quarterback but jumps fairly well and has very long arms so can make it difficult for the quarterback to find a passing window. |
If nothing else, the draft will be entertaining this season. Anyone happen to know what time it starts Saturday? I have to work, but I get off early in the day. I heard it was starting later this year.

Mr. Kotter, Calais Campbell is a big slob -- but if you were interested in him, he'd be an awful fit in KC.
As you noticed, he's not terribly fast. His measurables are amazing, but he's the larger, powerful DE that plays in a 3-4, not the speed-laden 4-3 that the Chiefs Cover 2 employs. He'll be taken in the 2nd by a team that thinks they can rejuvenate him, but he was 20 pounds overweight in Draft season, which is a gigantic red flag if you're looking to use a high round pick. |

I'll continue snoopin' around; my gut says we will go OT in the first....looks like we'll need to go DE too. Well, Herm seems to think....later rounds for CB is fine---although I had hoped maybe we'd nab one at 17. Looks like DE will be a bigger need, with more BAAs likely. |
I hear ya. Us folks over in the Draft forum have been tracking around 150 different players for months. We're happy to share our thoughts if you have any questions.
I don't think Herm is looking to completely rebuild an oversized DE into an undersized DT, though. |
That said, I will not be in this thread on Draft day. I will be in KC at the Chiefs' Draft party once again.
I'm sure I'll do something really gay and start my own thread with my thoughts the next day. Since I'm sure no one else will be doing that. |
