.I know everyone loves Matt Forte, as do I, but I want to bring up his Tulane team mate.

Frank Morton, Tulane, DT, 6-3, 327, 5.25.
Projected Round: 4-5.

I remember watching him against LSU and saying man he is blowing up the interior of the LSU line. I watched him play a few more times and was very impressed with him. He might be the steal of the NFL draft for 2008. Look at his size and speed alone makes you take a double take. Compair him to the #1 DT in the draft:

Glenn Dorsey, LSU, DT, 6-2, 299, 5.12.

You have to say he has the measurables. He is in my top ten players that pro day will make or break. The immeasurable seem to be there to. He always stayed active and never took a play off. Too bad he played for Tulane. Anywhere else in a big time system he would be at the least a 2nd rounder.

Lets see what happens but keep an eye on this kid. He is a HT plus some more. With a good work out do not be surprised to see him go as high as the third. They just do not make big guy that run this fast everyday.We may have found a DT that can rotate with HT without us loosing an ounce of flesh or HT intensity. He definitely is a rotational guy. Just to big to be a full time player. Needs to work on his conditioning a bit for NFL play.

Other day 2 picks at DT to watch

Jason Shirley (Sr.), Fresno State, 6-5, 330, 5.10

Nick Hayden (Sr.), Wisconsin, 6-5, 301, 5.15

Passing lanes would get smaller with a couple of these big tall boys in on passing downs. Shirey is the other I am watching closely.
