Post-1st Round DTs

[davos]

Fairley could be great for us don't get me wrong, but I think Green just seems like the most obvious pick for us now at number one...

So using this scenario, I'm thinking we're looking at:

Jerrell Powe (Mississippi)

Jarvis Jenkins (Clemson)

& maybe that Sione Fua (Stanford) for a big DT in the draft.

btw, Jenkins is 6'4 315

There's also some kid named Kendrick Ellis from Hampton who comes in at a unbelievable 6'5 340. Good god

I'm sure a RG would be great in these rounds also, but DT is such a huge hole, we need to fill it sooner than later in the draft

So, beyond the first round, who do you like?

[C47]

Jurrell Casey

Marvin Austin

Jarvis Jenkins

Jared Crick

Stephen Paea

Tydreke Powell

This class is very deep at DT, you can get a really good one in the third more then likely (Casey, Austin). I would much rather go Peterson or Green in the first then reach for an overrated Fairley at #1.....

[GotSwag?]

I would LOVE to get Marvin Austin. 1st round talent in the 3rd round.

There's actually a lot of those this year. There's a lot of talent at DT, it's extremely deep. Jurrell Casey is another. Just because of the number of DTs in the draft he's a late first early second round talent that will more then likely slide to the fourth....

[DynastyRTR]

love to get Marvin Austin, Sione Fua, or Phil Taylor(NT from Baylor) if we go to a 3-4.

[Jackofalltrades]

You know, with the quality of depth at DT that would certainly push me towards Green.

I just don't want to ignore it yet again.

Im kind of afraid that he won't be around by the time we pick in round 3. This would have been a perfect pick with slot #33. Damn I hate Hurney

I think Austin will do very well at the Combine and that will bump him up the draft boards a bit. He's a boom or bust guy, IMO. He has tremendous talent, but that never translated to domination on the college level. He was good, don't get me wrong, but not as good as he should've been. I've heard more than a couple of times that his work ethic was questionable at best during his time in Chapel Hill.

This coming from a UNC fan.

I've always thought that Bruce Carter was the best prospect on that roster, but seeing how Bray picked their secondary apart after Deunta Williams got hurt, I think I may have underestimated that kid. I knew he was good, but that secondary just fell apart when he went down.

Crick has already said he is not coming out. For what we need, pass rush from the inside, he would have been perfect.

Damn must have missed Crick....

^This.

I rather have Jerrell Powe.

What round is Kendrick Ellis projected to go in?

With the depth at DT in the draft I believe getting Green with the first pick is a must. I also wouldn't be suprised if we pick up as many DTs as we did Cbs last year.

Do we have an extra 3rd round pick due to loosing Peppers?

[DynastyRTR]

Ellis is projected anywhere from late 2nd to 4th round.

here's some Ellis info:

-Transfered from South Carolina (Was supposed to be their starter however failed drug tests during his Freshman year), no signs of issues since...basically a top SEC talent playing in the FCS

-6'5 340 lbs, Jamaican born

-Played 3-4 but scouts say he may be a better fit in a 4-3. Basically can play both. He is actually quite quick for his size & he can absolutely swallow people on the line apparently

"2010 WALTER CAMP FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SUBDIVISION ALL-AMERICA TEAM: DL Kendrick Ellis, Hampton, Sr., was a First Team All-MEAC selection for the second straight year this season, after who was second on the team in tackles with 94 total tackles (34 solo, 60 assisted), was also second on the team with 15.0 tackles for loss totaling 37 yards and was second on the team with 2.0 sacks on the season. Ellis recorded a career-high 16 tackles (seven solo, nine assisted) at Howard on Sept. 11 on his way to earning MEAC Defensive Player of the Week honors, and he also had 15 tackles (two solo, 13 assisted) at North Carolina Central on Oct. 9. - Hampton football"

oh and edit:

Do you blame him for failing drug tests when he first came to college? I mean, he's from Jamaica!
