Not sure. I haven't seen much of Griffen, but his measurables say yes. I'll watch more of him this coming season.

edit:

Site 1
Site 2

I guess he really is that big, and that fast. That needs to be our pick for future OLB/Predator.

Side note...
When you read about kids like him, doesn't it just make you shake your head and think about how unfair it is that you werent born with their physical talents... bastards!

Dunlap is that big (6'6" - 6'7", 290lbs) and he is that fast (somewhere between 4.6 and 4.7). He is a Mario Williams clone and I think he can be even better. He should go Top 3. I expect him to have a monster year and I also expect Jermaine Cunningham to regain his sophomore season form and each to benefit from the other as well as Omar Hunter finally seeing the field and taking up blockers along with Lawrence Marsh.

The Florida D is going to be spectacular this year that any one player may not get crazy stats because there is so much talent (a la USC 2008). Carlos Dunlap, Brandon Spikes, Jermaine Cunningham, Lawrence Marsh, Joe Haden and Major Wright should all be high draft picks in 2010 and then there's Janoris Jenkins, Justin Trattou, Omar Hunter, Dustin Doe, AJ Jones, Lorenzo Edwards, Brandon Hicks, Wondy Pierre-Louis, Ahmad Black, Will Hill and Dee Finley. The next 1-3 years the NFL will see a lot of Florida D players go in the first 3 rounds.

Taylor Mays is a crazy athlete. Eric Berry makes me think of Ed Reed.

Assuming nothing goofy happens, like injury, this dude would be a sick draft choice.

Jonathan Dwyer, Georgia Tech
LeGarrette Blount, Oregon
Charles Scott, LSU

My favorite WRs (all of them downfield threats)...

Carlton Mitchell, South Florida
(This is a really weak WR year coming in.)

My favorite rushbackers... this is not a bad draft for them...

Dexter Davis, Arizona State
Rahim Alem, LSU
Auston English, Oklahoma
Antonio Coleman, Auburn
George Selvie, South Florida
Jermaine Cunningham, Florida

My favorite defensive backs (other than free safeties, I like bigger DBs)...

FS/SS Taylor Mays, USC
FS Eric Berry, Tennessee
SS Chad Jones, LSU

At this point, I am not excited about the CB class at all.

I really like Jevan Snead.

For RB I like CJ Spiller, Jahvid Best and I think Caleb King can have a strong year.

WR is meh - but Dez Bryant and Arrelious Benn.

I think Brandon Spikes can be a damn fine rush backer at the next level.

Love the 3 safeties you mentioned. I also like Major Wright as a SS.

Heh. Walterfootball's 2010 mockdraft. With the third overall selection:

Kansas City Chiefs: Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas

Projected 2009 NFL Draft Pick (as of 4/21): ILB Aaron Curry

With Aaron Curry in the middle of Kansas City's defense, the Chiefs will be able to focus on the exterior come 2010. Sergio Kindle had 10.5 sacks and 21 TFL as a junior. At 6-4, 254, Kindle could run a low 4.5 40, making him the top rush linebacker available in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Does Russell Okung from Oklahoma St. project as a RT in the NFL?

Somewhere, Mecca's head just exploded.

So much juiciness next year. Carlos "Fuzzy" Dunlap makes me hard; can you imagine Dunlap and Glenn Dorsey on the same line in a 4-3? Oh, what could have been.

I'm psuedo-scouting for the Chiefs, though. We have little use for a speed guy. We'll need power first.

WR and CB both seem to be meh right now. Not thrilled with either class.

Spikes is a MLB but has great pass rushing ability -- I remember him making a fool out of Andre Smith. Whether that could translate to pass rushing full-time remains to be seen.

**the Talking Can** · 04-28-2009, 01:25 PM

we already have an extra 2nd..i think trading Gonzo will be seen as a huge coup for us next year...

When talk was of him being in the 2009 draft many thought he'd transition best as a DE/OLB or a LB who would move to rush DE on passing downs. He has good cover skills, is a monster tackler but he also has very good talent at rushing off the edge. I think he fits in a 4-3, 3-4 or hybrid.

I'd tend to think we'd be looking for a NT if we don't have one on the roster now, if we do then OLB and possibly a freak a S (if no OLB is worth it) would be areas we'd be looking at.

I know it doesn't really matter, but it's amazing to think we're going to have major needs in an area that has seen the investment of 3 first rounders, 1 second rounder, and 1 third rounder.

Wow.

Wow.

It's ****ing gross. Two top 5 picks in the last 10 years dedicated to defensive line. But in all fairness, we're apparently just going to throw one away. Dorsey will not bust.
