East West Shrine Game

[Roy P]

Just thought I'd star this eventual thread.

I can't wait to see DT/DE from San Jose State. Jarron Gilbert is currently listed as a 4th round pick, so that means we'll probably be lucky to draft him #15. Anyway, he's 6'5" 280lbs and had 22 Tackles for a Loss last season including 9.5 sacks. Perhaps a guy to put opposite of Mario?

[jppaul]

Is this your sleeper pick for the year that jumps up the board as we get closer to draft day?

[gunn]

The kid from Wyoming, Devin Moore, could be someone that rises up throughout the process.

No, but as is the case there are a lot of kids that I like. I believe a lot of folks around here will really like to take a look at C.J. Spillman from Marshall. He's the FS that might be available to do wonders in our secondary without having to spend a 1st round pick.

MLB Dannel Ellerbe should rack up some tackles in this game and impress scouts.

FS Courtney Greene is a guy that I like, so that means he'll probably be another Sabby Piscitelli :mad:

NT Terrance Taylor could make some money if he shows that he can stuff the run as could Ron Brace or Ra'Shon Harris.

OT Alex Boone could have been a 1st round pick if he had came out his Junior year. This game could prove to be his redemption.

OC John Cooper is a guy I wouldn't mind taking a late round pick on or possibly sign as a UDFA.

I am looking forward to seeing Ron Brace DT Boston College.

So is he a poormans version of teammate Raji who's probably playing in the Senior Bowl ?

He played the NT while Raji was learning how to read and do math.

He is nothing more than a gap filler IMO. He doesnt get much push but doesnt get pushed much either. Reminds me alot of Okam without the occaisonal explosive play.

[nunusguy]

Since Raji got introduced to the discussion, here's a clip from YouTube for you're viewing pleasure and analysis. And tell me this guy doesn't look like the second-coming of Vince Wilfork ? Built like him & moves like him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXrhwRTkxfI

Speaking of Sabby Piscitelli, what happened to him? I haven't heard too much from him lately.

Was drafted by Tampa Bay, played in 3 games then broke his foot and ended up on IR.

Glad to see people starting to join the Raji bandwagon.

For those who want to see Brace in action he is #60 in that video. He does nothing for me. I wouldnt waste a 7th round pick on him.

[painekiller]

I maybe off here but Brooke Bentley appeared taller than Chase Daniels.

Could have been...he's pretty short

[painekiller]

Could have been...he's pretty short

He said the scouts listed him as 6'00".

[papabear]

He said the scouts listed him as 6'00".

Well that would still qualify as short for NFL QB's. HE's listed as 6'1'' on espn.com...and I remember the announcers saying that was generous during one game.


I don't get too hung up on stuff like that, but his height will be something that NFL looks at.

Watch the West's LBs closely. Victor Butler, Jason Phillips, Jason Williams are three guys that I want to see live.

Cooper is probably a UDFA with his weight being so light at 272lbs.

[idymoe]

I hope Ian Johnson does well. He is a great guy and very tough. He finished a game a couple years ago with a partially collapsed lung. He's not very big, but he reads blocks as well as I've seen and has a couple of gears. It makes defenders take wrong angles. I think he will be a good late-round pick-up for someone and will help a team in spots. He played special teams this year, so he has that going for him, too, as far as making a team.

[Roy P]

Guys who looked like they could make the roster after watching the Shrine Game include:

RB Marlon Lucky - Found holes and played like he had something to prove breaking tackles.
S Keith Fitzhugh - solid against the run and a nice pass break up. At 5'11" 205, he is small, but played like a Bob Sanders wantabe.
G Augustus Parrish - Road grader. He owned Phillip Hunt.
G Jamon Merridith - Like Parrish, he's 6'5" with long arms.
T Ramon Foster - At 6'8" 325lbs would make a nice RT.
DT Darryl Richard - Got some push upfield and played the run.
DT Myron Pryor - Did well against double teams.

RB Gartrell Johnson - Looked like BenJarvis Green-Ellis.
LB Jason Williams - Played well in coverage. Karlos Dansby light?
LB Victor Butler - Good looking SAM project and immediate Special Teams help.
TE Bear Pascoe - Says he likes Witten, but looks like Todd Heap.
NT Ra'Shon Harris - 6'5" 321 and does not move off his spot. I'd love to see him as a late round pick.

[idymoe]

Bear Pascoe is the real deal. Has a big time motor and some nice hands. He was a quarterback in high school. Who does that make you think of?

[nero THE zero]

I'll take Mike Thomas in the mid-late rounds as a Jacoby replacement.

[painekiller]

I will not be mad if we drafted Stephen McGee, but I think his stock has risen higher than I am willing to invest in a QB. But he looked the part.

Another Aggie has eaten his way to UDFA status, if Lane show some dedication between now and the draft, he might be worth signing. But he needs a diet badly and he just doesn't get it.

Dillard is a stud.

I am going to rewatch again to try and concentrate on the middle of the lines, I will try to get back with some more info soon.

Senior Bowl coverage starts today!

[Roy P]

Watch the Senior Bowl and see if you can get an eye on South Carolina's Kenny McKinley. IF he's a Gamecock, he's got to be good. Just ask Bob McNair. Anyway, he's a slot guy who returns punts. He's got more size than Thomas, so he should be better able to take a hit from grown men.
