a pass rushing LB, dont know much about college football so who are those likely to be?
There are a few out there. We can prob trade down from 32 and get Vinny Curry a tad lower. That's my guess. A 3-4 de with our top pick. Hopefully, one who can run and is more athletic than the fatties we have.
1. Courtney Upshaw - OLB - Alabama - Doubt if he falls to us.
2. Nick Perry - OLB/DE - USC - 4th year junior. Had a pretty good season. Prob gone before we pick.
3. Whitney Mercilus - DE - Illinois - What a name for a pass rusher. Most think he's a 4-3 end. Tend to agree. But, we could stick with the 4-3.
4. Melvin Ingram - DE/OLB- South Carolina - Only 6'2". Prob a 4-3 end.
5. Vinny Curry - de/olb - Marshall Bit of a tweener. Great motor. A favorite of many on the board. Waiting to hear what Box thought of his senior year. He hasn't been posting.
6. Andre Branch - de/olb - Clemson - Had some big games against VA Tech. Invisible in others.
7. Bruce Irvin - OLB - West Va - A little light for us. 240LB. Kid can run and get after the qb. If we do the double up thing. I could see him in Round 2.
8. Ronnell Lewis - OLB - Oklahoma - Started off the season a hot name. Hit mid-teens on Kipers big board. Not very big 6'2"240 and he played de at Oklahoma. Then he got hurt and his stock slipped. Then he flunked out of Oklahoma. I know hard to believe.
9. Dontae Hightower LB - Alabama - Played ILB at Alabama. Some think he can convert to the outside. I'm not so sure.
