Watch this guy, Houston's Vollmer

He is someone we need to target. He can swing, he can be the guy who makes Winston or Brown move inside longterm.

Plus is below the radar right now.

I saw him at the EastWest game. This is a guy who could potentially become a player like Michael Roos. The caveat being he has a long way to go.

Couple of things. BSU had their pro day yesterday. Jeremy Childs ran a 4.47 and a 4.49 40. This is more in line to what I expected him to run from watching his football speed. He ran a 4.57 at the combine. He also did a 4.11 short shuttle, which is decent. As I mentioned before, this guy makes all the catches and gets separation. He was very instrumental in BSU's success this year. I really believe he is draft material, but whether he will be or not, I can't say.

Ian Johnson stayed with his combine 40 time and didn't run. He did do a 6.86 three-cone. Would have put him in top 5 rb at combine. Weighed 211.

Wyoming RB Devin Moore ran a 4.35 and 4.37 40 and did a 4.08 short shuttle and a 6.92 three-cone and 28 reps 225 bench.

I have been re-watching the East-West Shrine game, specifically watching Sebastian Vollmer. I haven't finished the game, but am into the 4th quarter. He has taken the majority of the snaps at right tackle. Most of the time he has been going against Lawrence Sidbury. He has had a few snaps against Myron Pyor and some snaps against Orion Martin. He has doubled the dt a couple of times on running plays. Sidbury has not come close to beating him at this time in the game. Orion Martin got close on a couple of speed rushes. Both of those plays were completed passes, one for a long touchdown in the 4th quarter, so, he did give the qb time. Vollmer has looked effortless all game. If Sidbury is any good, which I think is the consensus around here, then Vollmer would be a great pick-up if he is available in later rounds. I'll watch the rest of the game and give a follow-up on how he does in the rest of the 4th quarter. Nice call, PK & Roy.

I liked what I saw of Bruce Johnson at the combine and here is a snippet from his Pro Day.

Quote:
CB Bruce Johnson worked out just three days after running drills at the combine. He checked in at 5-foot-9 and 3/4 inch, weighing 167 pounds.

Johnson posted better times in most categories than he did in Indianapolis. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.42 and 4.45 seconds, had a 38.5 inch vertical, a 10.4 inch long jump, a 4.03 inch short shuttle and a 6.92 second three-cone drill. Johnson did not do the bench press.

I watched the rest of the 4th quarter of the East West game. Vollmer didn't play anymore. Sidbury was able to apply pressure to the qb going up against Dan Gay IV from Baylor. He never gave Vollmer any trouble the whole game.

There was one funny play when I was watching Vollmer. On a pass play, the qb couldn't find anyone open and started to scramble. He rolled out to Vollmer's side where Vollmer had engaged his man and was keeping him way out of the play, but out to the right. The qb decides to scramble back the other direction and eventually runs right into Myron Pryor who wraps him up with a nice form tackle. Announcers get all excited and say something like " Pryor waited right where he seemed to know qb would run back to. " Everyone on the East side is slapping Pryor on the back for the great sack. I run the play back to see who missed his block on Pryor. What really happened was he got flat-out pancaked by I think one of the BYU guys. I mean he was flat on his stomach like a big walrus. If the blocker had just laid on top of him, no sack. Instead, they just both just got to their feet, thinking the play was over for them. Both Pryor and the blocker start looking around to see what is happening and the qb runs right into Pryor. From a humiliating pancake to the luckiest sack I've seen in quite awhile.

Zack Follett OLB- Cal- THE SLEEPER OF THE DRAFT

Ryan Schmidt OG/C- South Florida- Plays with a real nasty streak and is a load in the middle at 330 and 6-5

Darrell Mack RB-Utah- Underrated runner who didn't have a strong senior year

Jason McCourty CB-Rutgers- productive DB that returned and played ST

The Ducks’ 6-2, 250-pound defensive end and two-time Pacific-10 Conference first-team all-league choice completed the regular season leading the nation in fumble recoveries (5), ranked second in the country in quarterback sacks (13) while equaling the school’s single-season record, and tied for fifth in tackles for loss (19.5). The Trabuco Canyon, Calif., standout also posted 50 tackles his senior season and already has claimed the school record for most quarterback sacks in a career (29.5).

Named Oregon’s Most Outstanding Player his senior season, Reed also finished second in the voting for the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award behind Texas’ Brian Orakpo.

**********************************************
Absolutely no measurables, but multi-year starter in a respectable conference who play with extrreme passion. Set all kind of records.
Late the second day - 5th or 6th round. Who knows ?

Excellent size...Long arms...Good athlete...Fantastic pass rusher and blitzer...Good strength...Tough...Physical...A powerful tackler...Looks comfortable in coverage...Does a nice job of taking on and shedding blockers...Decent range...Aggressive with a non-stop motor...Makes plays in pursuit...Solid instincts...Is intense and competitive...Offers some versatility...Productive...Has a lot of experience...A team leader
**
Best fit at the next level will likely come on the strongside in a 4-3 scheme or outside in a 3-4...Big, versatile 'backer

**********************************
Clint Sintim, Virginia OLB (3-4)
Yep there really is a college program that runs the 3-4. And this guy had 11 sacks last year so we know he can rush the passer off of the edge.
Says here he looks like a SAM in the 4-3 (and this guy is a full grown LB at 255, big enouth to play strongside), and I think we need a SAM ugrade more than we need a WIL upgrade plus with his pass rushing skills he stays on the field on third and long.
I dunno but I'm thinking he might be a better value than H-towns favorite heart-throb, Clay Matthews ?
BTW 1560 had this guy on today (before they had Clay Matthews on), and he sounds like a pretty good kid. Said he was Chris Longs roommate and best buddy last year at Virginia.

It depends upon when you want to draft this guy. I wouldn't mind him in the 4th, and could poossibly understand him in the 3rd. However, I can get better players in the 2nd round.

You have him way under valued. I would draft him in the first without hesitating.

RP I think you're so enamored by the "Great White Hope" from USC with the Houston unc that this man-crush has erased your objectivety
about alternatives who can be had at a less expensive price, but not in the third round. This guy is a solid value in the second if not higher. I see him at SAM on first and second downs and on the edge in passing downs.
