Honestly? I think that Waters will be around in the 6th.

I think he will slip as well, if it was my money and the meds came back ok I would gamble with a 5,6 or 7 nothing sooner.

no way. Waters was a late 1st-2nd round prospect. I watched him since hes in the ACC and this kid is an animal. If he stayed healthy i think he could of been right up there behind Willis/Timmons and next to Beason

He'll go 4th round and be a huge steal

Projected Round: 7
Rated number 13 out of 91 ILB's 266/2340 TOTAL

Analysis

Positives: Physical tone-setter in the middle of the defense. Has prototypical size and instincts for the position. Reads the action well and aggressively attacks the line of scrimmage. Explosive when fighting through blocks. Among the draft's most technical, pure tacklers. Explodes into the ball carrier. Good agility to slip blocks on the interior as well as beat them physically. Enough speed to meet the ball carrier at the edge. Team leader.

Negatives: Recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and his availability for the 2007 season is in question. A bit of a one-dimensional run stuffer. Lacks the change-of-direction agility and instincts for coverage. Can get too aggressive at the point of attack and lose containment.

Some good times for the RBs, a 4.33 from Chris Henry out of Arizon is one of the fastest times I can remember for a RB, especially one listed at 233.

Yes, I know where Waters was previously, I was looking at him prior to the start of this season. However, his knee injury was devestating. Most sites have him as a 5-7 pick.

Everything depends on whether he can successfully partake in the combine and pro-days. My bets are that he stays in the 5-7 range unless he truly shows that his knee is fully healed after just 5 months. And that is a very big LONG shot.

anyone have an explanation for why Henry was not productive in college?

Don't tell Pittsburgh cornerback Darrelle Revis that the shutdown cornerback is a thing of the past. Revis estimates that opposing quarterbacks only targeted him 10-15 times all of last season. He still had two interceptions and intentionally dropped one on fourth down against WVU. His uncle is former NFL player Sean Gilbert and he's from the same town as Ty Law (they've been in contact with each other, but there's no relation). He's certainly got the right friends and the right pedigree, but we'll have to wait for his Pro Day on March 16 to see him run (tweaked his hamstring).

Arkansas cornerback Chris Houston said he's been timed at 4.22 and 4.23 recently on a track in Orlando. Using that speed to cover the nation's top receivers mano a mano, here are his evaluations: Dwayne Jarrett – "real long;” Sidney Rice – "best athlete, can really jump;” Robert Meachem – "speed;" Dwayne Bowe – "real physical, REAL;" Courtney Taylor – "great route runner." To Houston's recollection, only Meachem scored on him. The junior could be the first corner drafted.
