Round 7--Jimmy Verdon

baronm · 04-24-2005, 05:16 PM

Strengths: Has pretty good athletic ability...Very strong and is a stud in the weight room...Active and is all over the field...Works hard and is a team leader.
Weaknesses: Lacks top size...Will struggle in coverage and doesn\'t look fluid...Missed the entire 2003 season with a dislocated elbow...Doesn\'t always seem to grasp the defensive scheme.
Notes: Did a nice job coming back from the injury and had a good senior campaign, leading the Crimson Tide in tackles...Has the tools to make it at the next level.

Cornelius Wortham

this is the guy they passed on? please tell me somethings brewing...

Also, it is just hard for me to see how one can be overly worked up about the 7th round pick? No offense guys, I\'m just stating my feelings on the matter - 7th rounders rarely make the playing roster (of course, there are exceptions, but undrafted players have about the same chance of making the playing roster).

What happened to Melvin Williams? Didn\'t he have three sacks in a preseason game last year? Is he still on the roster?
