From that powerhouse, Cal Poly $:-\$

QuotePros: At the lower level, he was a top playmaker who gave fine effort, leading to top production weekly. He has fine closing ability coming down the line and can recover and change direction smoothly. He is constantly around the ball and is a very physical finisher who rarely misses a tackle.
Cons: He does not have ideal size and has little growth potential. He lacks top straight-line speed and measureables. He needs to use his hands more consistently and big offensive linemen with good strength can keep him tied up. His lack of size makes him vulnerable at the point-of-attack, probably limiting him to a situational role as a pro.
Numbers: He led all I-AA players in sacks with 19 and added 24 tackles for loss. At the Combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.78 seconds with a 38.5-inch vertical jump, 10-foot-3 broad jump and did 28 reps in the 225-pound bench press.
Skinny: He has excellent character and is only downgraded due to his level of competition. His smallish frame is a concern and despite great production, he was a big fish in small pond that must prove himself in camp to stick with an NFL team.

I like this pick a lot.

He will be our new SAM.

We needed defensive playmakers and got two of them today.

DT and SLB.

I really love this pick. He had an interview on ESPNews the other day and he seemed real smart. He thought he was going to go in the 2nd round, hopefully he feels better that someone traded up for him.

Excellent pick.

The Eagles have drafted out of Cal Poly before.

Rome · April 29, 2006, 08:35:37 PM

This draft is going wayyyyyyyyyy too well right now.

Is Jon Harris still available?

The BIGSTUD · April 29, 2006, 08:35:39 PM

What in god's name are we going to do for WR?

Oh my god, I guess this means no WRs are left!

Williams, Stovall, Webb, Aromashadu, Avant, Lee, Marshall, and Obamanu are still left.

General_Failure · April 29, 2006, 08:37:54 PM

Brown and Gaffney are the opening day starters either way.

Susquehanna Birder · April 29, 2006, 08:38:44 PM

Sadly, we'll have to sleep on it.

The BIGSTUD · April 29, 2006, 08:39:41 PM

I'm not panicking, but I'm just curious what we are going to do.

BigEd76 · April 29, 2006, 08:41:25 PM

Apparently ESPN Magazine had him in the 6th or 7th round?

There are still players left. Quit the panicking.
