ProFootballTalk.com - Sammie Lee Hill Is Getting Around
Little-known Sammie Lee Hill, a defensive tackle from Stillman College, quietly is getting noticed as the draft approaches.

A league source tells us that Hill, who some think could be picked as high as round two, has scheduled visits with the Jets, Eagles, Buccaneers, Chargers, and Steelers.

He also has met with the Patriots, Rams, and Chiefs.

I had the Pats taking Hill at #89 in my latest mock from earlier today. I think that Hill and Chris Baker from Hampton will go reasonably high, probably 3rd round, due to their size/athleticism and the demand for guys that can play 3-4 DT.

I so hope Delmas lasts to 47. My biggest fear is Atlanta taking him at 24, or possibly Baltimore at 26. Otherwise he should at least last until 34. 47 is a much bigger stretch.

If you had to choose between Eric Wood and Delmas, who would you pick? Word on the street is, it may take an early 2nd to get them.

Delmas, hands down. Bigger need is at S, and I think Delmas will be a Polamalu kind of impact player.

I think if we're going to pull the trigger on an OLB we gotta do it in Round One, cause this kid isn't slipping to 47. I have a funny feeling he's going to be a star.

I'm OK with Barwin at 23 and Delmas at 34. Quite OK with it.

I am glad these guys got their eye on Delmas. Like a few of you here. I got a good feeling about him. I'm also warming up to Alphonso Smith who I wasn't too high on with a first round pick. I'd gladly take him with 58 if he is available.

I'm not a fan of spending a day 1 pick on a CB. But Alphonso Smith at 58 would be highway robbery.

My bad, I was thinking Will Moore at 58 since he has been falling down some on draft boards. You are right he would be highway robbery.
