Calais Campbell- 6'7 290,

5.11 40, 16 bench, 29.5 vert, 111 broad, 4.69 shuttle, 7.45 3 cone

Epenesa - 6'5 275

5.04, 17 bench, 32.5 vert, 117 broad,  4.46 shuttle, 7.34 3 cone.

 

 

Everyone knew who watched film, that he wasnt a speed freak.  Now was he a tad slower in the 40 than some thought? Yes, I thought itd be closer in the 4.8s.  But freak speed doesnt mean your going to be successful either.  If that were that case Emmanuel Ogbah would be an all-pro.  

Epenesa wins and is successful in other ways, similar to Calais Campbell.  This why some have that comp for him.  His play power, length, and technique is why he will be successful.  Those with his tools is why he is a perfect fit at SDE in a more multiple 4-3..

I don't think many were surprised that he didn't test out as a great athlete. Again, he is on the end of the athletic scale that typically doesn't end up as being an elite NFL player. Could he? Absolutely. Additionally, just because he may not be an elite prospect doesn't mean he might not be an 8+ year NFL starter or roster contributor. You have to weigh whether you believe his high intangibles will outweigh his lower athleticism.

I wouldn't even be against drafting him(depending on position). I am just acknowledging his limitations as a prospect were known prior to the Combine.

I would love this trade, but I would not use it as capital to move back up.  The real value in the draft is the 3rd round and if the Raiders are dumb enough to give up two picks, I'm all for it.

I'd take the best S, LB and remaining DT. Go CB and DT in rounds one and two. In rounds four or five come back with another CB.  That leaves some room for a few offensive picks that would otherwise be luxury picks on the back end of the draft.  Probably a center and WR.  Take BPA in the 7th round.
