That's actually a slower 40 time that I've read (4.78 to 4.68). Clay's time was 4.67 and Clay also came out at 240lbs.

I'm not saying he's a first rounder (or even second), but his combination of skills, intensity and work ethic are rare.

He's quick to the play and could be used in many of the same ways Clay is.

Now if we're talking OLB, Bruce Carter - UNC - would be a great pick!

From the info that's out there on him, he sounds exactly like JoLonn Dunbar did in college.

Danno you did some good reserch

I worry abou Matthews' speed, but I always love players who play the game the right way: with a lot of intensity.

Speaking of players who play it the wrong way: I would cut off my left testicle if we drafted Nick Fairley. I don't like dirty players. He consistently hits people after the play and I'm shocked he was never tossed for his famous QB body slam. I was hoping somebody from Oregon cheap shotted him back so he'd know how it felt.

and no obvious record of injuries

Third that

stud, but won't be around at 24

Believe me he will learn when he gets to play with the big boys. Slam a QB like that in the NFL and somebody will be gunning for your knees.

I don't want to see that kind of crap in black and gold.

No worries; Nick Fairley will be long gone by the time we pick...
