Freeman can drop in a Zone, but I'd say that Matthews has the better ability of being able to match up in Man-to-Man coverage. There will be a bit of learning for him at the next level because of the type of Defense he played in at USC. However, most players will go through some type of adjustment. His fundamentals are solid though, so he should not take long to make an impact. If I didn't know better, I'd say you were from Tampa Bay or New England and was hoping he'd slide down to your slot.

Aren't you worried about Eric Wood's alligator arms, or do you believe arm lenght is less important in the interior line? |

Of course, an OT needs to have longer arms than an interior OG or OC, but I don't necessarily want a T-Rex playing OC either.

Roy, I agree to disagree, and no, I'm not a troll from another team. I'm from Houston, but now reside in Katy.
Anyway, I don't understand how you can say Matthews has better man on man skills than Freeman when he has three times more experience and usually maned the OLB. Lets look at their Soph. and Junior years(2006,2007), for example. After this I'm finished talking about CM till draft day. Freeman was already a second year starter in 2007, he was second team all big ten, had 109 TT, 9.5 TFL, and 5 PBU. He started 11 out of 13 games in 2006, had 71 TT, 2.5 TFL, 1 SKS, 2 INT, and 6 PBU, also had 15 TKL in the BCS game that year. Matthews was a backup linebacker in 2007, he started 2 games, had 17 TT , 3 TFL, 1 PBU. He was also a special teams player and had 2 FF and 2 BLK to his credit. In 2006 he had 15 TT and 1.5 TFL. I don't know where his cover skills are gonna come from or how he's gonna be better than Freemans without real game experience. Freeman covered receivers and TE's frequently in the Texas vs OSU game, and did it well, check out youtube. Granted they both had good senior years, but Freeman is the more experienced and polished OLB43 at this point, IMO. Also, OSU's pro day was the 17th, and he ran a 4.51 and 4.52 forty, 4.08 short shuttle, and a 6.66 three cone, surpassing all of Matthews times, and also Aaron Curry. On a side note, I was thinking our rush defense was pretty pathetic last year, so here's my new mock emphasizing better rush protection: 1)Peria Jerry DT Ole Miss 2)Marcus Freeman OLB OSU 3)Andre Brown RB N.C. St. 4)Jason Williams OLB W. Ill. 4)Stryker Sulak DE Mizzou 5)Courtney Greene FS Rutgers 6)Sammie Lee Hill DT Stillman 7)D.J. Clark CB Idaho St |

Me too. This is why I only compare times at the Combine when everyone has had the same amount of time to prepare for the same conditions on the same turf.

Now that I've updated my draft board once again, I ran it against the DraftTek mock.
15. WR Jeremy Maclin Missouri 46. FS William Moore Missouri 77. SS Chip Vaughn Wake Forest 112. CB Keenan Lewis Oregon St 122. LB Scott McKillop Pittsburgh 152. RB Javarris Williams Tenn State (I seriously considerd JP Wilson) 188. RB Ian Johnson Boise State 223. DT Roy Miller Texas (I thought about Victor Butler) McKillop played MLB in college, but I think he'd be able to play SAM and be a HUGE contributor on Special Teams. Javarris Williams is my sleeper Big Back.

I think it's time to book this draft. Roy, I could live with this one. But our friends will all complain because you did not draft a DE.

One of my predominate goals this off-season is for Kasey Studdard to not make this year's team. And, unfortunately, that draft isn't going to get it done. |

In the one on one drill at the open practices Studdard had his ass handed to him on a constant basis, yet Frye, who looked better to me, was let go. Studdard has photos of Kubiak somewhere, otherwise it makes no sense.

Do you remember the Arnold Schwartzenegger movie with Danny Devito? Twins! Anyway, I like to refer to Studdard as Vince Young's twin... you know, the leftover DNA kind of accidently formed a blob of crap after producing Vince Young. That's why those two guys are so chummy. They're related! |

If we traded down and got an extra 3rd and 4th round pick, I could draft Bruton to play FS, get Wood in the 2nd round, and get a DE in the 3rd like Sidbury or Cody Brown.

I've got a feeling Sidbury is going a lot earlier than most people think. Casserly said a scout is calling him a late 1 to mid 2nd type player. Maybe that scout was really his agent, but he has made a name for himself since they misspelled his name at the Shriners game.

Okay, here's my first stab at things playing around with two early trade downs. I didn't get too specific with my trades, so here are two approximated trades:
1. 15 - 26, 57 2. 26- 37, 68 so, here you go: 37. Larry English 46. Eric Wood 57. W. Moore 68. Shonn Greene 77. Ellerbe 112. Bruton 122. Terrence Taylor 148. J. Knox 185. Javaris Williams 226. PJ Hill thoughts? as for me, it seems clear that we really need to work hard to trade down into those middle rounds. I don't have the chart in front of me, but I'm pretty sure those values are quite attainable. |

26 for 37 & 68 is 80 points to valuable, so we'd have to give up #112 (70 points) to make it comparable.

Here's a mock with only one trade: 15 to Phillie for 28 and 53.
28. Clint Sintim 46. Sean Smith 53. Eric Wood 77. Shonn Greene 112. David Bruton 122. Terrence Taylor 5th. Javaris Williams 6th. Quann Cosby 7th. Lydon Murtha I really love this one. But, I'm skeptical about Sean Smith lasting that late after his pro day results and certainly I've been skeptical about Shonn Greene last into the third round. Thoughts? |

Re Smith, yea Utah doesn't have that same ring to it as "The Ohio state" university when it comes to football pedigree, but the reality is Smith is very comparable to Malcolm Jenkins but even bigger. |

Sintim played for Virginia right...since there's a law that we take at least one Virginia player every year I've been thinking that we somehow end up with him. SLB/RDE type right?
