Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

throughout this bowl season, who could u see/would u want, wearing the B & G next year?

I like Anthony Davis from Rutgers as well as Steven Sylvestor the OLB from Utah.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

not really going to go into who id like to see here based on some bowl games, but players who in general include these

dwight dasher, middle tennessee state- had a huge game game against southern miss, 2 passing tds 2 rushing tds and over 200 rushing yards. excellent player, true junior.

austyn carta-samuels, wyoming- ran the spread very well, good runner with good passing instincts. all the more impressive since he is a true freshman.

dion lewis, pitt- everyone already knows how good this true freshman is, but he had another huge game on the ground.

kyle padron, smu- excellent instincts in smu's bowl win, another true freshman stepping up big.

finally, max hall, byu- senior qb going out on a high note. 3 tds in an extremely windy game against oregon state. he would be worth a look later on in the draft. not a big arm but is very accurate.

and as for your question, no really big games have gone on yet, and thus not too many pro prospects for this draft have come through yet. we will know better in a few weeks.

I caught the Wyoming Fresno New Mexico Bowl. Yeah that Wyoming QB was quick and fun to watch. The Kid fom Pitt broke Tony Dorsett's old record as a freshman so he is definitely on the map in the future.

yeah. lewis from pitt is a very interesting, different style of runner. he isnt very fast, but has amazing vision, is difficult to bring down, and can make guys miss, however its very subtle. he, simply put, gets the job done.

This Brian Price the DT from UCLA is pretty damn good

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Freddie Barnes is real legit

And Mike Iupati of Idaho is a really really good Shanahan type guard. We should strongly look at him this april

Iupati looks like he could be very good. I think he's listed at about 6'5" 330lbs.

I still cannot believe he went for 2.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

so case keenem is looking pretty shitty today, he just threw his 5th int of the day and pretty much sealed the deal, they are down 20 to 41 with six minutes left in the 4th. and yes they are playing airforce, airforce is beating huston and, airforce has int'd keenem 5 times today. did not see this one coming, i guess huston didn't either, the navy mizzou game should be a good one and tenn vt should be good tonight as well

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

make that 48-20 airforce is beatin the crap out of huston

edit:they missed the pat so it's 47-20

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

make that six int's for keenum :doh:

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

and btw gerhart is a fraking beast, he has to be averaging over 6 or 7 a carry, he is just a bulldozer

Would be very nice to get him and get Enderle in 2011.

Same school as Schlereth and Schlereth played for both Gibbs and Shanahan. Maybe Karma or deja vu?

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Hate to be Mr Obvious. SUH!!! This guy is a monster.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

I guess MR Keenum isn't so hot, 6 INTS against an academy isn't so great.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

this is the first gamei have seen tenn play this year i have only seen highlights, but watching berry live, to me, he carries himself just like sean used to, and he has that giant wingspan like sean had, he looks like he will be really good in the nfl.

and ss, i hate to admit it but my hatered of vt has gotten a little bit lax, becuase watching grimm play is pretty impresive he is non stop, and i would love to see him end up here late in the draft or undrafted, his heart and fight reminds me of gerhart

The only thing that gives me pause about him is the success, or lack there of, of DT's picked in the top 5. Glen Dorsey is probably the most recent parallel of a guy everyone felt was going to be a world beater, but in his first two years he's been good but no where near the level he was expected to be at. However to his credit he's not necessarily a guy who was meant to play in a 3-4.

Before that we see guys like DeWayne Robertson, Dan Wilkinson, Steve Etman, and Gerrard Warren. Darell Russell is the only DT I could find since 1990 that was selected to a pro bowl (which we should take with a grain of salt given the accuracy of some of those selections) as a top 5 pick. Some of those guys I listed went on to have decent careers but they were no where near the level everyone thought they would be.

Ironically selections 6-15 are better for DT's. In that range we find guys like Richard Seymour, John Henderson, Marcus Stroud, Corey Simon, Tommie Harris, Albert Haynesworth, Kevin Williams, Amobi Okoye, Haloti Ngata, Brodrick Bunkley, B. J. Raji, and Sedrick Ellis. I know I have a bigger range to work with in that second group but the difference in quality is amazing. And these are the guys selected since 2000. In that same time the only bust were Jimmy Kennedy, Ryan Sims, and John Sullivan. Damione Lewis is kind of a tweener, not necessarily a bust but not a guy that should have been drafted in the top 15.

Of course until recently we were saying that rookie QB's couldn't come in and be successful in todays NFL and suddenly Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan come along, in the same year no less.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

iupati (OG - idaho), ryan williams (RB - VT), broyles (WR - OK), robert johnson (FS - utah)...

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Anthony Davis of Rutgers could have pro bowl potential and has terrific size.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Tim Tebow.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

I agree with Scud. Tebow could be great. He needs a little work but he bottom line he is a winner. If he is available in the 3rd round we take him. I also liked Mike Kafka- the QB from Northwestern. He could be an undrafted player to look at.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Watching the games on TV we can't always get a good look at the players who play the positions of our greatest need. We know about the one's discussed the most because they usually stand head and shoulders above others at their positions, and of course the skilled players usually get the most attention. Personally, I wanted to get a close-up look at more of the blue-chip O-linemen that for whatever reason many times go unnoticed.

Even though he's not a player at a position of dire need at this time. I like LSU safety Chad Jones, he's a junior and I'm not certain as to whether he's declared his eligibility. I don't like him above three which we don't have, but later if still available providing he does not turn out to be a Landry clone.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss would be a great addition to this team

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Okung!!!! The dude is driving people to the ground. Smart and good on his feet.

Too bad he wont be there at number 5

[quote=WaldSkins;648562]Too bad he wont be there at number 5[/quote]

Probably not, but who's to say for sure? Back in Jan. last year I don't think anyone thought Tyson Jackson would go #3 either. Anything can happen between now and then. Maybe you can go ahead and give us the first round of the draft?

[quote=53Fan;648560]Okung!!!! The dude is driving people to the ground. Smart and good on his feet.[/quote]

No kidding. What a beast. And maybe, just maybe, he'll be there at 5.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

[quote=WaldSkins;648556]Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss would be a great addition to this team[/quote]

He sure is dynamic and exciting. But do you think that he can pass block Demarcus Ware?

Do you want me to tell you who were picking or do you want me to bull shit you with some dream trade down scenario?

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

[quote=WaldSkins;648556]Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss would be a great addition to this team[/quote]

His teammate Marshay Green is also a tremendous punt returner. Without a doubt he would look good in B&G.

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

[quote=WaldSkins;648574]Do you want me to tell you who were picking or do you want me to bull shit you with some dream trade down scenario?[/quote]

I want the whole first round, 1-32. That way I'll know for sure who's available in the 2nd.

[quote=Lotus;648573]He sure is dynamic and exciting. But do you think that he can pass block Demarcus Ware?[/quote]

Thats the only weakness about C.Johnson and how has he panned out? LOL I Love OKUNG! He won't be there at 5 though

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

How did some folks on this forum want SNEAD ?????????

Re: Bowl Games: What prospects have caught your eye?
 

Suh
Gerald McCoy
Bradford
Clausen
Eric Berry
maybe even Haden

All of these guys could come off of the board before Okung, leaving him at #5.

That's the point I'm trying to make. Thanks Lotus. Some things seem certain but at this point of the year the draft can be as unpredictable as the weather. There are usually some surprises. Does Oakland pick before us? :)
