Hold on, let me put on my Mel Kiper hair helmet. Alright there we go. Right now there is no way in my opinion that Gholston falls out of the top 10. The guy had an amazing combine to compliment a great season.

All week people talked about how Jake Long only gave up around 2 sacks in his career. Ironically one of those sacks was made by Vernon Gholston last year. He also matched Long on the bench press with 37 reps of 225 lbs.

Campbell is falling hard. He not only had a bad 40 time, but he finished last in bench press reps. Now the problem isn't the testing results themselves. What seems to be worrying scouts is that guy has a reputation as a slacker, and with all the preperation that rookies get for the combine test to mask their abilities its amazing that he did as bad as did. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see him fall to the third round.

Phillips would be a great pick, but I don't see us being the new Lions with 3 safetys in the last 4 years. Oh well, at least our safetys pan out

Pass rushing DT is something we can get in the later rounds. And the best pass rushing DT thats available when we pick (Kentwan Balmer) also had a poor combine. With the availability of Pat Sims and Dre Moore I can see us waiting till the second or third round to get a pass rushing DT. If I had to bet on it I'd say we pick one in rounds 1-3.
