2010 My Guys

[Roy P]

There are two players that I'd like to compare before the draft....I'll call them M and T.

M - 55 Tackles, 18.5 Tackles For Loss, 12.5 Sacks.
T - 65 Tackles, 14 Tackles For Loss, 11 Sacks.

M - 6' 3", 266lbs, 4.77 - 40 yard dash, 1.60 - 10 yard split
T - 6' 3.5", 267lbs, 4.72 - 40 yard dash, 1.61 - 10 yard split

M - His career totals include 29.5 tackles-for-loss, 19.5 sacks, six fumbles recovered and five pass break-ups.
T - 194 tackles, 47 tackles for loss and as the school's all-time leader with 30 career sacks.

Derrick Morgan is considered to be a top 10 pick.
Daniel Te'o-Nesheim is considered to be a 4th or 5th round pick.

I'm just trying to understand the value here. I will be following these two players for the next 3 years to see which one produces more 'bang for the buck' at the next level. I find it interesting that USC players get graded "evenly" while the other Pac-10 schools get downgraded when compared to East Coast counterparts. Gerhart is getting some bias against him and he played AGAINST USC defenses and broke tackles against Clay Mathews and Brian Cushing. There is the C.J. Spiller vs. Jahvid Best arguments too so, I'm hopeful that it's East vs. West bias and not racism. Maybe I should put Jahvid on my draftboard, since I've added Spiller here recently.

Because Best has a history of concussions, I'd put him after Mathews and above Patrick Robinson.
