2009 ALL-RANG'S GANG: Free Safety: Darcell McBath, Texas Tech: Just as I favor moving collegiate tackles inside to guard in the NFL, I like the idea of former collegiate cornerbacks with instincts, size and reliable tackling ability moving to safety. McBath already made this transition and is one of the better, if underrated, safeties in the draft. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
02/10/09 - NFL Draft Scout Risers: Darcel McBath, FS, Texas Tech: Perhaps because so much attention was heaped upon the Texas Tech offense throughout the year, many scouts entered the East-West Shrine practices willing to acknowledge that McBath was a nice player, but a late rounder at best.
That talk ended after scouts came away impressed with McBath's instincts and physicality early in the week. A tweaked hamstring limited him later in the week and ultimately kept him out of the game itself, limiting the exposure McBath received from the game. Still, scouts were impressed enough to pop back in the film on the three-time all-conference pick and now view him as a legitimate middle-round prospect. - Rob Rang, The SportsXchange, NFLDraftScout.com
