[QUOTE=beauchristopher;164041]dang we had to of given up the rest of our picks to trade up.. so we got to select 3 total players? quality not quantity right? but this DT we took has been plagued with injury issues?..[/QUOTE

dorsey had injuries as well. they both played with injuries, I like the pick.

cincy drafted a DT with serious off field issues.. just the way they like their players.

Great pick! This kid has a ton of talent and upside and IMO is worthy of a fifth round selection. We moved up to get ahead of the Bengals, who probably would have taken him.

Awesome pick didnt even know he was still on the board I like it.

DeMario Pressley, North Carolina St., 6031, 301, 5.14

Pressley is the last left of the NCS defensive front that featured Mario Williams, Manny Lawson, John McCargo and Tank Tyler. He is an interesting player. His size and bulk are excellent. His upper body development is impressive, with a wide back, broad shoulders, long reach and large hands. Excellent athleticism, good speed and quickness. Does a nice job in pursuit and has a burst to close and does a good job of shedding blocks. Can penetrate and wreak havoc in the backfield. Explosive off the ball with a great first step. Hard worker who takes to tough coaching and proved last year that he was willing to play through pain. More of a three-tech lineman who might fit better as a 3-4 defensive end, as he has the initial step and angle ability to cause havoc when given a free lane

He is slow to make his reads and lacks the lower body strength to stack and control at the line of scrimmage. A rash of recent injury issues that will need further medical evaluation.

Ok I have to give this kid a flyer on a year of coaching and a badge of honor for toughness. He dealt with wrist, toe and knee injuries the past couple of years. He is listed as a bit of an underachiever but an interesting prospect. That makes me really wonder about these reviews.

2006: Suffered a left big toe fracture in March camp … dislocated his left wrist vs. North Carolina (11/18), undergoing surgery that day to have pins placed in his hand.

2007: Again broke his big toes in March drills. Suffered a left elbow injury that resulted in three ligament tears during State's second scrimmage in August camp. Pressley still started State's season opener against Central Florida. Pressley later had some torn meniscus tissue during practice. Missed two games and was back on the field.

Guts alone is reason enough to consider drafting this man

B_Dub_Saint · 04-27-2008, 01:10 PM

WVSaint · 04-27-2008, 01:12 PM

anyone know what we gave up?

winmill1 · 04-27-2008, 01:13 PM

Nothing but upside in this pick. Yeah the Bengals are getting robbed. That's 2 from their D-line we snagged. Ha

I would guess we gave up a seventh rounder this year or next year. I would hate to think we gave up anymore than that.
