He has no quick twitch. Doesn't play the run that well and has played a lot of man coverage at OSU as opposed to the zone that we play over 80% of the time.
Ikegwuonu, whose name I probably F'ed up, declared today. I would draft him over Jenkins, although I've heard there's a character flag that needs investigating. If Zenon is available in the fourth/fifth, I might take him too.
either select Malcolm Jenkins, CB, or trade down. This guy will be a stud corner - has the height, speed.
As for Gholston, Laurinitis etc al, saw nothing special - Overrated
the flag on Jack was he stole an Xbox or something off campus as a sophomore..him and his brother. he is very good at disrupting routes and being physical at the line. hes also got good size and he ran a 4.28 on campus (Wisconsin fast track, hand timed) while people say hes slow. I think he'll run a 4.42 or slightly better and he does have the speed.
Very odd bowl season, none of the top CB's really helped themselves with solid bowl games, except maybe Talib who looks to be the slowest of the top CBs.
Jenkins and Williams of South Florida were toasted alive. Jenkins of OSU gave up a TD on a simple crossing route. Lee of Auburn a late riser didn't impress me against Kelly of WR Clemson, who I think is only a junior. etc. etc. etc.
I think BB can find some solid Corners for the Pats zone system in the 3rd and 4th round as he has done with Hobbs and Samuel. ie: Lowerey of San Jose state an interception machine. Or a kid from a smaller school, the Kent State CB, or even Cason from Arizona who is tumbling down dradft boards.
All that being said however, Round #1 has to be used to secure a superior pass rusher; if one is available.
If we had to draft at #7, these are the guys I wouldn't mind, in order:
1) Jake Long, OT
2) Chris Long, OLB/ILB
3) Michael Oher, OT
4) Ryan Clady, OT
(gap - get on the phone for one last try)
5) Vernon Gholston, OLB
6) Malcolm Jenkins, CB
(gap - get on the phone and convert to a new religion)
7) Kenny Phillips, S
