Yeah definitely seemed like a down year for the Shrine Bowl
Glad the Senior Bowl is this week, very interested in seeing some of these guys and reading about all the goings on in the practices.
Agree to disagree.
But I think we can both agree that it's not a drug you take when you stand the chance to make millions.

Nobody else intruigred w/ the raw athleticism of Brokers ? Looks like a baby Tyron
I know he's climbing up draft charts and will probably be one of the top DT's on the board based on workouts/athleticism.
I'd hate to whiff on a guy, drafting based purely on potential, in the first round. Don't think we can afford that.

from making sure we get another legit pass rusher standpoint, absolutely

Alabama LB Courtney Upshaw has been one of the leading OLB candidates all season, but his weigh-in here has me thinking he's more likely to be a 4-3 DE pass rusher, or an ILB guy in a 3-4 scheme when he measured only 6-1 1/2, but weighed a squat 273 pounds. And no, he did not look fat, but also regsitered relatively short (31 1/2) arms. There is a similar thought process for the athletic South Carolina DE Melvin Ingram who was 6-1 7/8 and 276 pounds with an arm length under 31 inches. Fact is that NFL scouts like their DEs to have longer arms to help get separation from opposing blockers so those wingspan numbers aren't going to help either guy.

Interesting. If we stay 3-4 then I doubt either of these will be our guy afterall. But with the talk of possibly going 4-3, we could pair Upshaw or Ingram with Ware as our DE's.

Well shit.
Call me crazy, but I like my pass rushers to have long arms.
I'm going to have to adjust my sig.

Yeah, I'm not sure either are suited for 3-4 OLB. Even if we move to a 4-3 base, I'd still be a little leery. Looks like our targets at #14 are shrinking before our eyes.
hmmmm. Janzen Jackson? He was one of Kiffin's recruits at Tennessee who got into off the field trouble, came back and then got in more trouble and finally left for McNeese St. I'd pass over character issues.
Low risk, high reward.
If he can be had for a late round pick, I'm all for it.
Kid looked every bit as good as Eric Berry.

Are you guys hoping someone steps up so it's not a 6-8 player shmorgasbord

Agreed, very talented player.
Possible negatives
*Troubled past (legal incident, booted off team, reinstated then left team)
*a little light at Tennessee, weighed around 175 lbs (McNeese State website has him at 190 lbs)
Positives
*All SEC Safety
*Went to his father's alma mater to get his head on straight
*Played CB this past year.
If he's still there in the 4th, the reward is most likely worth the risk. Especially since we have spent recent 4th round picks on
Skyler Green (bust), Isaiah Stanback (project and fragile), Tashard Choice (Michael Vick groupie), Brandon Williams (bust), AOA (bust), and David Arkin (apparent weakling).
To be fair to dbair and the deity he worships, we did find Doug Free, Victor Butler, and Steven McGee in the 4th round too.
