Re: Day 2, rds 2 & 3.

So if Bruce Campbell falls to us in the 4th round, do we take him?

apparently all of this is what's holding him back
Quote:
"It's the mental that will get him," said one personnel director who has been in interviews with Campbell. "When he's talking he's not a quick thinker. He's a slow process, a very slow process guy. Somebody will have to tell him what to do all the time."

Another evaluator said Campbell had a "neurological slowness that's extremely scary."

At the combine, Campbell said he grew up in the "ghettos" of New Haven, Conn. After spending 2006 at Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy, he was able to enroll at Maryland.

The Terps' coaching staff took its time with Campbell, playing him in just five games in 2007 and starting him only after another player was injured in mid-2008.

Campbell's incredible workout was the talk of the combine. One scout, however, labeled that as "inconsequential" when compared to what he described as Campbell's "awful" play on tape and the 15-minute interviews he did with team after team in Indianapolis.

"He might be the most phenomenal physical specimen I've ever seen," one longtime scout said. "But he can't conceptualize."

Hell yeah we do. Only way to salvage this draft, but that is if he is still available. My question is where is the change from the previous "regime" or way of doing things? WE gave up a 2nd for a QB that is great, but is not our franchise guy, a 5th for oft an injured FA defensive linemen, and we are stuck with a disgruntled DT and a QB nobody seems to want at the moment. We were better off resigning JC and keeping the picks for another OL and a LB. I really hope that Allen has a real plan in place and not going to only rely on hand me down FAs for his tenure here. The only difference thus far between the old and new regimes is that the new FO is smart not to sign huge ass contracts for these castoffs. I was hoping for a more fundamental change in tact. THe win now philosophy is good when you have some depth and a decent amount of talent, but we have neither depth or a huge talent pool outside of our stable of RBs and QBs.

I think we have to. He gives us good value and will be motivated by all of the teams that passed on him earlier. If we get him, it's a good chance he's our opening day RT
