Post Your Sleepers

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 ?

Sounds like a combo of Bill Swancutt and Dan Bazuin.

Nick Reed certainly had the college production, some nice awards, and now his measureables pretty good as well from his pro day. http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.d...ATCLID=3691710

His numbers would have put him middle of 11 linebackers that went to combine

Reed measured in at 6-foot-1, 245 pounds and put up some impressive numbers in the drills:
40-yard Dash: 4.71
Vertical Jump: 31.5 inches
Bench Press Reps (225 pounds): 24
Broad Jump: 9.0 feet
Short Shuttle: 4.27
Three-Cone Drill: 6.96
60-yard Shuttle: 12.02

I guess we will see what happens.

At his Pro Day weigh-in he came in at a very smallish 6'1", 245 lbs so it would be easy to think of him as a LB, but he was a DE in college even though his best opportunity might be as a 3-4 OLB in the NFL.
My thought is that he might be a Robert Mathis type edge rusher for us, though that's a long-shot based on a lot of hope (and maybe some prayer). Not a big deal so long as the investment isn't too steep. I'm not talkin a Jason Babin type reach here.

Here's an interesting one:

OL Lance Louis (6-2 3/8, 303) drew a lot of attention from scouts interested in his speed. He ran a 4.76 and 4.80 in the 40-yard dash, a 4.71 in the short shuttle and 8.03 in the three-cone drill. Lewis also posted a 30-inch vertical jump, an 8-foot, 8-inch broad jump and 30 bench press lifts.

Those are some ridiculous number for a 300 pounder, though his agility is a bit in question.
