Players You're High On - Page 2

Day before the Draft, let's have fun.

Try to pick players from one round each that you're high on. Obviously we're all high on high rounders, but across the board, who are you higher on than most people are?

1st round -- I love James Hardy. The guy is powerful, measurables are off the charts, and he's got an incredible ceiling.

2nd round -- I'm high on Early Doucet, another WR who doesn't sport all the measurables but is a savvy underneathe receiver who's an immaculate route runner. I also like Erin Henderson as an OLB -- I think he'd be great on the weak side.

3rd round -- Tony Hills is my guy at left tackle. I believe he should be a 2nd rounder but people are putting him at third so there I go. In terms of sheer athleticism, he's one of the top two or three OTs in the entire Draft. Real nasty guy, too. I also think Josh Johnson has a chance to be something incredibly special with proper coaching.

4th round -- MLB Beau Bell is an underrated stud-in-the-making from UNLV. He's fast, he's tough, he's smart, and he plays bigger as the games get bigger.

5th round -- I splooged all over the mock draft over Mike Hart. Technically I think he's 4th round material, but I honestly don't know anybody else who feels that way. How could you know this guy, and watch his passion on the field, and not want him on your team?

6th round -- K Taylor Mehlhaff. Guy is accurate and has been accurate in the worst weather in the NFL. Nerves of steel, and has made a good percentage of kicks from beyond 45. I also like Kevin O'Connell from San Diego State.

7th round -- SS Caleb Campbell, who I've already talked about in another thread.

Great speed and hands, just needs some work on route running.

You were right on Albert, and it loks like you're also right on Avery. Tony Pauline is reporting this morning that he's hearing Avery to the Bucs or Packers at the end of round 1. Speed kills.

If we could get him with a 3rd I'd be ecstatic.
