Ok, I will now be willing to draft Kenrick Ellis in the 2nd round. He could not be blocked by a single person and he actually played with a lot of hustle. For a large man, he did not give up on plays and was willing to chase an offensive player to the sideline. Color me impressed.
Jerrell Powe is another big man I can envision playing on Sundays. He was not as well-suited against double-teams, but did get penetration when choosing a gap. He essentially played the 3-Technique in this game. He'd be a good 4th round value in my opinion, but will probably be selected in the 3rd.
The OLB prospects I went to see (Wayne Daniels, Ugo Chinasa, Eddie Jones) were not impressive, but I came away with some more homework to do. Roberto Davis of NW Missouri State as did Christian Anthony of Grambling State. I recall promoting a pass-rusher a few years back named Jacob Ford who played at a small school. I could see these guys being in that mold. A project that could become a solid contributor in the pass-rush department. So, they are my "super sleepers" coming from this game.
I did like CB Anthony Gaitor's play on defense as well.
