Second, this year he was a finalist for the Lott trophy - an award based on personal character as well as excellence on the playing field. He also was a finalist for the Ted Hendricks award, which recognizes the top defensive lineman. Tapp has those intangible features we refer to as heart, determination, passion and pride. He wants to be the best. He pushes himself beyond what number crunching analyst convince themselves of what he should be capable of doing. Having said all that, I think coming out of college Corey Moore was better but since he got shot in the leg early in his career well never know what he was capable of.

I over heard a guy after VT's bowl game call Beemer and VT players a bunch punk's. So I asked him which college team he followed and he said UVA. Then I asked about the UVa player who choped block the BC player after the play was blown dead and only was hit with a one game suspension. He did not have much to say after that. Alot of people like to attack VT because they are jealous of how much they have achieved over the past ten years. As for Tapp I think he will make it in the NFL but he will need to add some pounds to take the every day beating. I'm intrested in seeing what happens with Nimo. He has the speed and talent but his size may be what holds him back. He just kins of reminds me of Rock.

The knock on a lot of guys coming into the NFL, especially at DE is that they are undersized. I think it's important to remember that these guys' bodies are still going through a physical maturation process. The weight will come in just a few short years. The point is knid of moot though because I don't think he'll be available in the second round. His merits are too noteworthy for teams to pass on him. I see him as a top 25 pick.

Biases aside, if you watched the VA Tech v. Miami and Tech v. Louisville games you HAVE to question the discipline of the team. They did not come across as very mature athletes or young men. Of course, this is a Redskins board so perhaps these are discussions for another venue.

My point was not if VT had some players making some questional plays. It was that the UVA fans don't have alot of room to say anything after one of their players choped blocked a limping players knee after a play. They made an excuse for the guy and only suspended him for one game. So don't say VT lets players slide when UVA did the same thing and that hit from the UVA player could have ruined the BC players career.

Unless we move up in the draft via trade we won't be in position to draft Tapp.

as of right now he's a low 2nd to low 3rd round pick, which means as of right now we could sit still and still get him. his size and speed are working against him. If he has a good combine showing though and bulks up without slowing down he could really shoot up though.
