Saw this on Rotoworld just a minute ago. Says there are whispers he could slide due to knee concerns. I think this guy is a monster and would love to see him end up wearing the Flying Elvis.

No. He's a tweener.

I like him. He could be a McGinest type of player for the Pats.

I think he is a big 43DE and that's it. He came in at 6'3 3/8" and 280lbs at the combine with 33 1/8" arms leaving his size to be desired for that "Elephant" position McGinnest use to man. He's got short-ish arms and has never played standing up (that I could see).

If he is going to fall due to injury, I'd let him fall all the way to 17(read as: wherever we decide to pick first) and go from there. I wouldn't move up for him at all.

Latest report says some team doctor thinks that Bowers has more damage in the knee after surgery and that may indeed cause teams to bring him in to see their team doctors.

Bottom line - he only slides if the doctors see something bad in his knee.

To answer the question - if his medical and mental check out, yes. He can absolutely play OLB for NE.

It's rumor time in the NFL draft prequel. Please place your seat backs and trays in the upright and locked postion. The Captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign, we expect some slight turbulence as we prepare to arrive on draft day. Thank you for flying the NFL rumor mill.

Seems like both Bowers and Fairly are losing ground to Daureus and Quinn. I still can't see one of those guys falling to the Patriots unless the news is really bad. Makes me wonder how Wilfork fell into the Patriots.

nope.......maybe if he was at 17.....but would not move up for him....

quinn, different story

Liunget is also rising up boards.

I think Fairley is having a difficult time in the interviews. His agent may need to do full scale fire control.

PS: I would not be upset if we went up real high for Dareus. As a matter of fact I would be very excited.

At this point the best thing that can happen for us is Carolina takes Newton #1.

The thing that worries me about Bowers isn't his knee, it's the fact that he was more highly recruited than Terrelle Pyror but he didn't show up until last year.
