Cameron Erving has me wondering. OC he looks pretty good after doing so so at LT. So kill a few birds with one stone? OC/OG/ROT. he will fit in there some where as a starter and give some flexibility to the OL when we and if we add other players

that or a RT prospect that can side into the OG

I am look at both OG right now an thinking it is time to start training up some replacements

Re: 2015 draft??

With Vacaro now reverting to his real role of roaming safety it looks like another need for FA or the draft unless Sunseri or Ball can take the spot. I dont think Ball has done nearly enough to show its his job and its hard to know what to expect from Sunseri(real shame he got injured).
I'd look to trade Bush as its a area of depth with pieces needed elsewhere.

Looking at the FA coming up at S
Dawan Landry(might fit the bill,knows Rex scheme great against the run,good against the pass and a tackle machine. only 31 and might like the chance to play for a potential contender)
Duke Ihenacho
Brandon Meriweather


Projected 4-5 round
IBRAHEIM CAMPBELL, SS
SCHOOL: NORTHWESTERN | CONFERENCE: BIG10
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE: SENIOR | HOMETOWN: PHILADELPHIA, PA
HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5-11 / 205 LBS.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

Despite his youth, Campbell quickly established himself as one of the leaders of the Northwestern defense and is the only returning starter to the secondary from a year ago. He has average size, but hits like a truck with quick reaction skills, reading his keys and making snap decisions with natural football awareness.
With expectations now on his shoulders, Campbell will try and avoid a sophomore slump this season, but his future as a pro prospect looks promising.

--Dane Brugler

PLAYER OVERVIEW

Campbell is only a redshirt sophomore, but if one year is any indication, he is in for a productive career in Evansville.
Lining up at safety last season, he led the team in tackles and earned Freshman All-American honors by the FWAA.

Campbell was recruited as a running back out of high school in Pennsylvania and chose the Wildcats over offers from Stanford, Michigan State and Boston College.

After redshirting in 2010, he moved to defense and earned a starting safety job last fall (12 starts) and led the team in tackles (100, ninth in the Big Ten), adding 3.5 tackles for loss and a pair of interceptions.

Re: 2015 draft??

I am looking at Byron Jones CB/S 6005 196 4.42 Connecticut

4th round steal due to a shoulder injury - torn labrum

began his career at safety but transitioned successfully to corner last year. size and tackling ability of a safety, and the smooth backpedal of a corner.

That reads like modern day Safety in the NFL to me. beside he would fill a need at CB to maybe

I am not sold on 80% of our DB anyways. I am hoping for a crowded camp at the DB positions next year. let players walk dead money or not. not like there is a ton tied up in failed back ups anyways.

Please some one else that has an eye for talent and football players making the call on who stays and who goes.

Re: 2015 draft??

I'm done with trying to figure out SP. He tried to get cute last year in the draft and blew it in the later rounds. Not to mention a rd 2 pick who never saw the field. How bad did he have to be not to play any on one of the worst defenses?

Re: 2015 draft??

If we do stay in the top 10 we should be in a great position to pick up a top OT(quite like Collins who i have read is jumping up the boards,especially as he can take over at both T/G.) or take the best pass rusher on the board. In round 2 should be in a position to take one of McKinney,Kendricks or Perryman to slot alongside Lofton.

I would love to see Collins at 10. If he is gone I would trade out. The Saints need a O-lineman that can play multiple positions if needed and he is that guy. I don't think MI will go anywhere so I believe we are ok at RB. I see him getting a PT type of deal (his first resigning). ILB is a concern but only because Lofton is making 10 million next year! The guy is good but not 10 million good. O-line and CB has got to be the biggest needs in the draft. I would also not be surprised to see Bryce Petty (Baylor QB) in the 3rd or Jake Waters ( KSU QB) in the 5th. I think SP has tried enough to get a free agent to replace Brees. Not going to happen.

Re: 2015 draft??

ingram gone , khery can handle that role pt comes back for his last then retires, pick up a forth or fifth round rb its worked before. bring in at least 4 offensive lineman from 2 thru 4th rounds build that o-line up. don't even have to say who payton gets in round 1 BPA im sure

Re: 2015 draft??

Can anyone tell me how deep this draft is and at what position is it deepest?

Last year was a deep draft at WR, is there any position like that this time around?

I wonder if trading back is actually the answer.
