Yes, he's small for the fullback position, but he's a fullback/3rd down back/change of pace back all in one. Plus, he will do ANYTHING to win. I like this kid's swag. Think of what Sean can think of having this diverse of a backfield. |

I don't know much about Havili's blocking ability, but he is an interesting weapon... the type of toy likes to have out of the backfield. He can pick up short yardage and has always been a good receiver out of the backfield.
This is an old scouting report on him. 2011 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Stanley Havili, USC « NFL Mocks | Covering the 2011 NFL Draft & Your #1 NFL Mock Draft Database |

The LSU-Auburn game was about as close to the speed and style of play he will face in the NFL and with his style of play, he won't be able make those two-three same difference making plays in the NFL. Let the Redskins draft him and you'll see. |

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
All little common sense goes a long way. |

The example was that his conventional style of play was not good enough to beat LSU at home; it was his runs that made the difference for Auburn that day; that won't cut it in the NFL (Not For Long). My opinion, and I am confident of this, is that I hope he goes to a team I loathe, like the Redskins or 49'ers, so that they can suck it for another three years... FYI phrase(s) that begin with "you come off" are inappropriate, antagonistic and arrogant; not what I consider has been the general good spirit and discussion of the black and gold... |

For those thinking DL with the R1 pick...
Cameron Jordan is moving up draft boards; doesn't look like he'll make it to No. 24... Not sold on Cameron Heyward out of Ohio State; not enough consistency... Drake Nevis out of LSU is holding at the end of R1; would be intriguing pair with Sedrick Ellis... Corey Liuget DT Illinois is gaining some momentum as an underclassman entry... Ryan Kerrigan, DE, another Boilermaker, has made a strong showing in workouts as well, though he is only 262 lbs... |

I'm afraid BPA at 24 might end up being an OL, TE, DB or WR. None of which are huge needs. I just hope we don't reach too far. |

We'd probably have to give up our No. 3 (the latter one/not redskin compensation pick) and trade our No. 1 to move up to the 13-16 area... But I agree with the reaching fear... |
