Overview
Over the last two years, three North Carolina linebackers have been drafted (Zach Brown, Bruce Carter, Quan Sturdivant). And Reddick, who is the Tar Heels' top defensive prospect, will be the next talented linebacker to hear his name on draft weekend.

Reddick, who was a four-star recruit out of high school, chose North Carolina over Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee. After he spent a season at a prep school to improve his grades, Reddick arrived at North Carolina and immediately earned a starting job, starting 20 games over his freshman and sophomore seasons.

He battled injuries in 2011, but started 11 games and still finished second on the team with 71 tackles. Reddick is an impressive athlete and strong, physical tackler.

Entering the 2012 season, Notre Dame middle linebacker Manti Te'o was the consensus No. 1 player at his position for the 2013 NFL Draft. But Reddick wasn't far behind in most rankings. While Te'o has lived up to his high-billing and just about cemented his first round value, Reddick has done the opposite.
Analysis
Often used as a blitzer for the Tar Heels in 2012, Reddick has been impressive attacking downhill. But he has also made too many mistakes for a senior linebacker, two-time team captain and four-year starter.

Reddick is a bit straight-linish and stiff, but makes up for his lack of fluidity with his instincts and defensive intelligence, putting himself in positions to succeed. Reddick has the skill-set to earn a starting job in the NFL and currently projects as a solid second day selection.

The biggest reason Reddick has been a faller this season is his questionable effort on the field, too often giving up on plays once engaged and going at half-speed if the play isn't run directly at him. He rarely leaves the field so some of it might be fatigue, but inconsistent urgency and motor is a large concern that will force NFL teams to think twice on draft day.

I've read a lot of projections where he was pegged to be a 4 to 5th round pick. Hopefully he becomes one of our next hidden gems via UDFA.

Ray Shipman is what teams want out of a Line Backer. At 6'5 245 lbs he has the perfect size combined with incredible athleticism from his days as Florida's "Mr. Basketball" and his stint on the UF Basketball team.

Draft Zone Spotlight: Ray Shipman, LB, University of Central Florida Ray Shipman is a very special athlete, we are not talking about a four year starting linebacker who has all the talent in the world. He was voted onto the C-USA All-Academic Team, and started 12 games on the season, amassing 91 tackles with 3.5 tackles for loss. What makes this more special is the fact that he was a point guard coming out of school for the Florida Gators. Shipman became a strong linebacker for the UCF Knights after spending two years on the Gators Basketball team. He made the transition seem fairly easy. This kid is athletic and at 6’5, 240 pounds this kid is a gamer ladies and gentlemen.

Re: UDFA SIGNINGS
 

According to Sean:
“What we would typically do, right now in the draft room there would be the depth chart, offensively and defensively with the current roster, current draft picks, and there would be a series of magnets and then we would take grey or black magnets that represented unnamed players and stack them behind certain positions. The tight end right now might have one or two magnets behind them, the receiver may have one, there might be a few magnets inside guard, maybe one at right tackle, running back there may be one, quarterback one, "
We should look for an RB and some more OL fellas coming down the pike. Should we make a poll on which part of the country the RB comes from?
