*CORRECTIONS:
There are three corrections to the "Draft Notes/Trends" section from the most
recent report:
Highest a Michigan wide receiver has even been drafted was Desmond Howard
(Washington, #4) in the 1992 NFL Draft... in case Michigan WR Braylon Edwards is
taken in the Top-5 picks this year... it was originally noted as David Terrell
(Chicago, #8) in the 2001 NFL Draft... as we fondly remembed Howard as more
of a return man and overlooked the former Heisman Trophy winner.
Over the last four NFL Drafts a total of 127 players have been selected in
the first round... 69 have been offensive players, while 58 have been defensive
players... the words "in the first round" were omitted.
The #1 overall selection has been used most often on quarterbacks (25 times)
and running backs (23 times)... defensive lineman (11 times)... wide receiver
(3 times)... offensive lineman (3 times)... linebacker (3 times)... both
quarterbacks and running backs were notes with (23 times) in the initial report.
ALSO:
*SOUTHERN U. (March 31st) senior offensive lineman MYNIYA SMITH was actually
6045, 349 pounds at his workout on March 31st... he had shed a few pounds down
to 345 pounds in recent weeks, but we incorrectly listed it as "335 pounds"
in the original report last week... please make note of the correct weight.
NFL NEWS:
Free agent defensive lineman MARQUES DOUGLAS will be visiting with members of
the San Francisco 49ers on Monday... Douglas, who has played the past few
years with the Baltimore Ravens, is now seen as the best available pass rusher on
the market, and his connection to current 49ers head coach Mike Nolan, the
former Ravens defensive coordinator, could spark a quick signing if the sides
can agree on a long-term deal... there has been talk by several 3-4 type teams
(Cleveland, Denver and San Diego) about signing and moving him to OLB, while
Washington could also get in the mix for his services.
HOUSTON wanted to get at least a 2005 fourth round draft choice in trade for
veteran linebacker JAMIE SHARPER before he was released late last week...
Cleveland, Dallas, New Orleans and Seattle could be landing spots for his
services... it would be interesting to see if Green Bay, who has been eyeing a
possible middle linebacker (which would allow Nick Barnett to swing outside) would
make an offer to the older Sharper (Jamie) after recently cutting ties with his
younger brother (Darren).
SAN FRANCISCO may look to deal quarterback TIM RATTAY during or right after
the NFL Draft if he gets a clean bill of health with Tampa Bay being a possible
destination... the 49ers would likely receive about a sixth round draft choice in return for him... but might be able to get a conditional pick in 2006 that could move up to a fifth round choice based on his playing time and performance, although he is likely to be at least a #2 where ever he goes.
TAMPA BAY may have found an answer to their kicker problem, as former Toledo
kicker TODD FRANCE, who spent some time with the NY Giants last year,
converted an NFL Europe record five field goals (5-of-6) for the Hamburg Sea Devils.
His first attempt of the game was a 54-yard attempt that was good with room to
spare.
Other NFL EUROPE players that made their mark this past weekend include RHEIN
tight end JASON RADER (6 catches for 48 yards)... RHEIN defensive back/return
man CHRIS DAY (27.3 yards on four kickoff returns)... AMSTERDAM quarterback
GIBRAN HAMDAN (12-19, 187 yards, two touchdowns)... AMSTERDAM tight end TONY
DONALD (3 catches for 78 yards, 1 score)... AMSTERDAM linebacker GREG CAROTHERS
(9 tackles, 1 interception)... AMSTERDAM cornerback B.J. TUCKER (one
interception, 2 pass breakups)... BERLIN linebacker RICH SCANLON (4 tackles, one
interception)... FRANKFURT defensive end SEANTE WILLIAMS (5 tackles, one
interception)... HAMBURG wide receiver/return man RICKY BRYANT (touchdown catch).

PRO DAY WORKOUT RESULTS (As of April 3rd):
UT-CHATTANOOGA (April 2nd) senior wide receiver ALONZO NIX (#4) tried twice
to set up Pro Days at his own school, but was unable to schedule a time/date where any scouts were able to attend... since he has been training in the New Orleans area one of our staff members attended his workout on Saturday
afternoon... ran between 4.40 and 4.44 in the 40... came on a standard outdoor track
surface... wore regular track shoes, but no nubs or spikes... little bit of a crosswind (5-10MPH)... 4.28/4.32 short shuttle... 6.97/7.08 three-cone... shuttle and agility drills were done on an adjoining grass field, which had mid-high grass and bit of a slope, so both drills were done twice (going with/against the slope)... weighed in at 5115, 192 pounds... his Pro Day workout came at Laurel High School, which is located 20-25 minutes away from outhern
Mississippi, on March 23rd... ran between 4.53 and 4.56 in the 40... .10 will likely be
taken off his times by most teams, as he ran on a GO2 surface, which was damp, grass which was also a little choppy... ran between 4.28/4.36 short shuttle...
7.20/7.30 three-cone... 34.5" vertical... did it one-handed against an
outdoor surface, so most would convert that to 36.5"... also did ten reps of 225
pounds... weighed in at 5106, 190 pounds... scouts from five teams, Jacksonville,
NY Giants, Philadelphia, Seattle and Tennessee were in attendance... Tim
Mingey (Jaguars) put him through a number of positional drills, as he caught the
ball very well... three other teams took him aside to request additional details and seek game film.
MCNEESE STATE (April 2nd) senior kicker JOHN MARINO made all of his field
goal attempts up to 50 yards (5-for-5)... then made 1-out-of-3 from 50-plus...
converted one from 60 yards and then turned around a converted one from 50 yards
against the wind... on his kickoffs (with the wind) all seven landed in the
endzone... three were 10-yards deep... one five yards deep... one three yards
deep... best hang time was 4.19, while two others were at least 4.00... on his
kickoffs (against the wind) one landed inside the five-yard line... two landed
inside the ten-yard line and one landed inside the 15-yard line... all four
of the hang times were 4.10 or better... senior defensive tackle JOHN PAUL
JONES tried to workout for a second consecutive day, but pulled up on his 40-yard
dash... did some other drills, but decided it was best not to push himself and
get hurt... all results were recorded during an on-campus workout, which was attended by New Orleans.
MIDWESTERN STATE, TX (April 1st) senior offensive tackle AMARIAH FARROW (#72)
ran between 5.18 and 5.25 in the 40... 4.80 short shuttle... also did 19 reps
of 225 pounds... weighed in at 6046, 330 pounds... was very impressive in his
positional drills... showed better-than-advertised footwork and athleticism,
considering he was had not not seen a scout/coach until this workout last
Friday... readers of our reports will remember that we promoted this workout the
past 7-10 days... as the his biggest asset is that he was used as basically a
pulling tackle, which is impressive when you look at his natural size... has
been working on his weight room strength, which is just average to date... but
he is a fairly interesting long-range type project... there was one team,
Houston, in attendance for this workout... Farrow has game tape available upon
request.
AKRON (April 1st) senior quarterback CHARLIE FRYE had a solid 45-minute
performance at his private workout... threw all of the necessary passes... did them
from drop back... 3-5-7 steps... play action... roll outs and then fired
several deep balls, as well... he threw swing passes and short routes to players
both out of the backfield and off the line of scrimmage... some of his deeper
throws (outs/fades) were accurate, but had good, but not great zip/velocity...
a few others were a little wobbly and came to receivers rather than leading
them... also ran the 40-yard dash at between 4.72 and 4.78... stood on the
opposite 40-yard line at the end of his workout and threw the ball flat-footed into
the endzone between 57 to 62 yards... has been working on his arm strength
while training since the Combine... when asked about his performance, Frye said
"My goal was to show today I can make all the throws"... "(I) don't think
teams worry too much about me throwing deep... we didn't do a lot of it this
year... most of our stuff was middle range to short routes... but (I) showed them
here and at the Senior Bowl that I can do it"... most in attendance also
believe Frye has the frame to add another ten pounds over time... former wide
receiver/quarterback NICK SPARKS ran between 4.55 and 4.59 in the 40... 4.24 short
shuttle... 7.08 three-cone... 32" vertical... 9'5" broad jump... weighed in at

Pittsburgh Steelers... a total of two teams, Baltimore and Green Bay, were in
attendance for this workout.
EAST CENTRAL, OK (April 1st) senior defensive end JUSTIN BROWN had setup a
Pro Day for Friday, but no scouts were able to attend... therefore his defensive
line coach, FRANK JONES, recorded these results... ran between 4.57 and 4.80

came against and he slipped while running... 4.93 short shuttle... 7.84 three-cone...

bit since the start of the Senior Bowl week, as many felt that he would have the chance to be a solid first-round pick, but is now more likely to be taken in the second round... type of guy that has some upside, but is more of a Jon

4.25 short shuttle... 7.31 three-cone... weighed in at 5093, 210 pounds...

vertical... 9'4" broad jump and also did 24 reps of 225 pounds... weighed in

of late round/PFA type safeties over the past few weeks.
WEST VIRGINIA senior defensive lineman JASON HARDEE has a private workout scheduled with San Francisco on April 9th.
WINONA STATE senior quarterback BRIAN WROBEL has impressed a number of teams that have gone in for private workouts... he's a very underrated athlete with better arm strength than most had thought previously... if he does not earn a
spot somewhere in the NFL right away... the CFL game will allow him to potentially follow in the footsteps of guys like Dave Dickinson and Ricky Ray.
