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

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.
