Don't know how true this is, but I've heard that at Penn State the field is slightly sloped so that when their players have their pro days there the 40 times are always faster than anywhere else.

Yeah, I've heard that, too.

IMO it still seems odd that someone could put on a ton of weight in a matter of weeks and not get so much slower that a sloped field would not matter.

Maybin was just in a fight a PSU and had to be restrained by two people.

One of JLC's "league sources" says that the Skins have renewed interest in DE/OLB Everette Brown from Florida State if they wind up picking at #13.

I would like to get Everete Brown,and I think he's a more explosive Pass Rusher than Orakpo.

Only if we trade down, maybe twice, into the mid-late 20's.

I am not sold that Brown has the size to play LDE for us nor am I sold that he has the skills to be converted into an LB.

Agree w/ analysis...any DE we draft must be able to take over the left side i.e. we're not looking for Carter's replacement here. Took a closer look at Ayers and he's said to have a ton of strength...could be the run-stopper/pass-rusher combo we want at LDE. It's tough to find the perfect guy there IMO. The system, especially under Blache, requires that player to be an excellent run-stopper first and foremost. Evans fell short of that toward the end of last year as backs we're able to break out around the end. We "need" an upgrade in that sense and I'm probably one of the few who thinks Daniels/Wynn rotating will give us the best run-stopping. But then you want the guy to be able to pass-rush too, and that's where the potential of a guy like Ayers is exciting cuz if he can do both things we've upgraded the defense significantly.

...on the other hand if we draft a DE who turns out to weak in the run game though a pass rush specialist like, umm Jason Taylor, we haven't really done ourselves a favor at LDE. I think this may be the trickiest position for us to draft this year, especially w/ a high pick, cuz we now what we want from the position and basically what we've got in the two rotating starters...
