OLB Lorenzo Mauldin, Louisville -- Draft season is made for prospects like Lorenzo Mauldin, a guy that is flying under most people's radars but will probably see his stock skyrocket as a great prospect at rushbacker as soon as everybody is being compared side-by-side. Teammate of 2nd rounder Marcus Smith's last year, Maudlin draws a lot of the same comparisons to me. He is a physical specimen -- he's listed at 6'4", 250 lbs, and looks every pound of that and more. He sports a frame that is long and powerful, with more room on his frame. He's got fantastic closing speed -- watching him burst through an OL on a stunt is a genuine pleasure -- and hits like a truck. He already has a small number of effective passrushing moves, one of which is an awesome swim move. Maudlin is a pure 3-4 OLB, having played that exact position with the Cardinals, but relies a little too much on his great athleticism for my liking. As a result, despite his good effort, he's very weak against the run and struggles in tackling. A couple seasons of technique work and strength/conditioning will help him stack and shed better, which would only be yet another feather in his cap. I really think Maudlin has double-digit sack possibilities in the NFL, and could sneak into the 1st in the NFL Draft.

OT Cameron Erving, Florida State -- Last year I went through several of the top tier offensive linemen, and Erving was one of them. He did not come out last year, and has had his ups and downs since. I still think he's got 1st round potential, but I think he's closer to going in the bottom of the 1st than near the top.
Here's what I said about him a year ago: Quote:

Take some notes on Ohio State's Joey Bosa (Sophomore). I'm thinking he'll end up declaring for the 2016 draft. Kid is a beast at defensive end.

Hey Direckshun or other draft nuts..
Know anything about Washington LB Hau'oli Kikaha? Junior LB with plenty of size and impressive stats. Maybe he could be a good DJ replacement for the future? +/or if KC does move on from Houston or Hali... this guy has the production and skills to be a good rush LB. so the versatility could be very attractive in the 2nd/3rd rd.. maybe.

Just a wild thought though.. I haven't watched all that much of him.. just enough to think about that.

Well okay then, lol.
Anyone know much about MLB Steven Daniels from BC ? Looks like a Junior this year... 6' - 250--ish. 37 tackles, 1 INT, 7 tfl, 1.5 sacks Very physical in run D and taking on blocks. Has some good blitz ability up the middle.. shows that he can even run with TEs on deep routes. For such a "thumper", BC seems to trust him in coverage. Not at all sure where his value may end up come draft time.. but just maybe he can be a good option at ILB for Sutton.

Looking at Trae Waynes today. If he's there I think we take him. Long, tall and fast like Gaines.
Basically the same type of player as Gaines, which we need more of, especially since Sean Smith has a big contract. Need to be ready to move on from him in a year or two. I think WR could be had in rd 2 or 3 with how hard it is for rookies to learn it.

An update on Josh Shaw, very instinctive safety/CB prospect out of USC.

Since one of our glaring issues is offensive line, I've been looking at a bunch of day 2 to midround options. Really liking TJ Clemmings out of Pitt right now in the 2nd to 3rd round. He's still raw in some areas, namely pass protection, but has a lot going for him.
Great frame and length. He looks like a LT. Elite athleticism for the position. He's a mauler in the run game and is very good at the second level, as good as anyone else that I've seen so far this year. Great motor and plays with a nasty attitude. Would love to add him to the OL group. |

Looking at the first rd (assuming we draft around 22-24), I think BPA won't be an OL unless La'El Collins falls to us, which is 50/50 IMO.
WR probably won't be either. I fully expect Cooper, White, Parker and maybe Strong to be gone. Funchess will probably be there but idk if I would want him. I think 3 positions will be strong for us in the later part of rd 1. 1. CB- Alex Carter, possibly one of PJ Williams/Trae Waynes, Ronald Darby 2. ILB-Bernardick McKinney, Eric Kendricks, Denzel Perryman 3. DL-Mario Edwards, maybe Eddie Goldman (leaning towards him being gone) Danny Shelton (this guy will be in the mix after the combine) Tough choice

Unless said ILBis of kuechly status, I'd pass in the first. Same with an OG. Corner isn't a bad idea, but a dl would be a first choice of mine.
