Re: Senior Bowl Week - Who's there and who are we looking at?

Michigan DE Brandon Graham is a beast!!!! Would be a great addition to a defense who will make the transition to a 3-4! He will make a impact OLB and Orakapo on the other OLB!!! If we trade down and get multiple picks I would be thrilled to get this guy who could help anchor the haslett attack style 3-4 defense...

As far as offense I saw nothing... There are a couple of backs I could see taking in round 2 or 3! Shanahan does not care about bad seeds or prior discipline problems he wants legs... How a bout L. Blount from Oregon.

I would love to see o-line help, but the draft is not the only place to get better in that regard. I always thought that free agency is best to get o-line as you know better what you are getting and the salaries are the lowest for any positions! All o-line play in this game was bad! Iupati looked pretty bad.

Bottom line I hope QB is not where we are going with the #4 pick!!!!

Could Graham crack Top 10?

Brandon Graham Top Email

In his initial mock draft, Mel Kiper Jr. had Michigan DE Brandon Graham sliding all the way to No. 32 (the Indianapolis Colts), but he could be one of this year's big risers if recent trends are any indication.

Former NFL scout and proprietor of MovingtheSticks.com Daniel Jeremiah was down in Mobile for the Senior Bowl this week, and has been tweeting his quick thoughts on players that stick out, one way or another. For Graham, it was a positive last week: "Don't know if Vegas has a line for how many sacks Mich DE Brandon Graham will have Sat but take the over. Explosive, best rusher by far."

On Saturday, Graham turned a lot of heads, and was named the Senior Bowl MVP, with five tackles, two sacks, one TFL and a forced fumble.

Most teams will list "effective pass-rusher" somewhere on their list of needs or wants, so it's not a stretch to think that with a good combine, Graham could jump into the top 10 this April.


Mel Kiper Jr.
Graham a steal at No. 32
"Graham was a one-man show for the Wolverines, leading the nation in tackles for loss as a senior. Always in the backfield, he's a guy who can learn under master pass-rushers in Indy and build on the tradition. He's been on my Big Board all year, so a good value this late."

Only if he promises to punch Romo in the face.
