Now what? Round 5

Rsanders24 · 04-27-2008, 12:32 PM

Erin Henderson has fallen a would a pretty good pick up. Also Vince Hall with the second pick in the 5th round or the 6th round. DJ Parker, S, Va Tech is a ball hawking S.

Henderson is someone I've looked over before, and so is Hall. Both are possibilities. But I'm not sure about Parker.

D.J. Parker: S Virginia Tech 6-0, 192 40 Time: 4.60

BIOGRAPHY: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing extensive action with the first team as a sophomore. Senior-year totals included 59/3/7 after 41/2/9 as a junior.

POSITIVES: Instinctive safety with marginal size/speed numbers. Reads the action, effectively patrols centerfield, and remains disciplined. Solid range to the sidelines and works well with cornerbacks.

NEGATIVES: Lacks closing and recovery speed as well as quickness in his game. Not real physical or aggressive defending the run.

ANALYSIS: Parker is a solid college defender with limited upside at the next level. He could be used as a backup in a zone system.

PROJECTION: Middle Sixth Round

I've watched Highsmith in coverage and free space and that is definitely not his strong point.

CB Darnell Terrell, Missouri, 6016, 205 4.46

yeah, I just think we can find a spot for him. He can play multiple positions. He probally would excel on special teams.

keyes or butler would be nice.

Woodyard is an interesting prospect he has the true potential to move to SS.

I don't know half of those names, Hagan, so I'd have to at least read up on them before I could comment.
