Much of my thinking has been shaped by Mike Reiss's article discussing the importance of Edge rusher in terms of the pats being in a sub package a majority of time.
We trade back with KC for 21 and pick #85 and also send #188
21. Ryan Kerrigan
Height:6'4"
Weight:267 lbs.
Arm Length:33 3/8 in.
Hand Size:9 1/2 in.
Collegeurdue
Conference:Big 10
PositionE (Team Captain)
"Kerrigan is a beast of a football player that has the ability to be a difference maker at the next level. He appears to be versatile enough to play defensive end in a 4-3 and outside linebacker in a 3-4. He has the lower body strength to hold his ground in the running game and is a relentless pass rusher. He is a strip sacks specialist who became the Big Ten's all time leader in forced fumbles as a senior. There are questions whether he can play on his feet in space in the NFL, but Kerrigan is a likely a mid-first round pick."
28. Mark Ingram
Height:5'9"
Weight:215 lbs.
Arm Length:30 3/4 in.
Hand Size:9 1/2 in.
College:Alabama
Conference:SEC
Position:RB
"Ingram projects as an every-down back who can make an impact on the ground and in the passing game. One of the most polished running back prospects in recent memory. Has rare natural running sense in terms of vision and patience. Great short area speed and burst to hit the hole, make defenders miss, and get to the perimeter. Runs low, breaks tackles, and usually falls forward. Dangerous receiver in the screen game and as a check down. Shows good effort and awareness in pass protection. Has not been asked to shoulder the entire load to this point, but Ingram's still a first-round prospect."
Trade up w/ Chicago #33 , #124 and #220
29. Gabe Carimi
Height:6'7"
Weight:314 lbs.
Arm Length:35 in.
Hand Size:10 3/8 in.
College:Wisconsin
Conference:Big 10
Position:OL
"Carimi was the 2010 Outland Trophy winner as the best interior lineman in college football and it appears likely that he will have continued success at the next level. Carimi is simply a "bad man" who looks to punish defensive ends on every play. His non-stop motor, coupled with his ideal size, make him a terror in the running game and he has enough athleticism to hold his own in pass protection. Like all tall lineman, Carimi struggles at times with leverage and may have to make the move to right tackle in the NFL. Overall, Carimi is a beast who should be picked in the middle of the first round."
Trade up with Philadelphia moving picks #74 and #88
#55 Brandon Harris
Height:5'10"
Weight:191 lbs.
Arm Length:30 5/8 in.
Hand Size:8 1/2 in.
College:Miami
Conference:ACC
PositionB
Harris is a true gamer that is at his best when the lights are on and he has the tools to become a starting cornerback at the next level. He excels in man coverage, as he is explosive with an elite closing burst and he has very fluid hips to maintain speed in transition. He also shows very good instincts when lined up one-on-one, but he seems confused at times in zone coverage and can get caught out of position. His press skills are still raw, but he is a strong kid with a tireless work ethic and he should be a mid-to-late first round pick.
#60 Rahim Moore
Height:6'0"
Weight:202 lbs.
Arm Length:30 1/4 in.
Hand Size:9 5/8 in.
College:UCLA
Conferenceac 10
Position:FS
"Moore is a true difference maker at the safety position, and he projects to be an immediate starter at the next level. He is extremely rangy with the deep speed to hold up in cover-3, and he has a great closing burst when the ball is in the air. His high cut frame gives him the look of a wide receiver and he has the playmaking abilities to be a ball hawk. He also has great instincts and always seems to be in the right position in coverage. Moore might be the top safety in the class and will likely go before the end of the first round."
#92 John Moffitt
Height:6'4"
Weight:319 lbs.
Arm Length:33 in.
Hand Size:9 1/2 in.
College:Wisconsin
Conference:Big 10
Position:OG
"Moffitt was an integral part of a dominant offensive line for the Badgers in 2010. He looks the part of an NFL guard with a great frame and a thick lower half. He displays very good football intelligence and understands blocking schemes. However, he lacks the strength and overall athleticism to be effective at the next level against faster and stronger athletes. He loses leverage off the line and struggles to generate a good push at the point of attack. Moffitt also lacks a killer instinct and sometimes looks defeated on film in tough games. Despite these concerns, Moffitt has a great frame and potential to develop and he should get his name called in the later rounds."
