So how he performs at the UnderRoos Olympics will tilt whether he moves into the back of the first round or slides to the end of the second round; he's shown some speed and quicks, but his workout will be telling...

For my money, I like Miss St. Cameron Dantzler more as he faced better competition in the SEC et al top teams and performed as well on some less than ideal talented Miss St teams...

Yep I’m planning on looking at Dantzler a little bit next. He’s seeing a big surge lately in popularity. I was watching a little bit of C.J. Henderson before Gladney and I’m not as crazy about the lack of physicality with Henderson.

That would be bad news facing all the big WR's in the NFC south ...

The consistent knock by scouts on CJ is his inability to "wrap up" on tackles.

If you can't do the basics of 101 tackling ... pass.

In all honesty, I’m scared of giving Marshon Lattimore a big contract extension. He’s developed a reputation for being lazy and that’s on his rookie deal. The big payday hasn’t even come yet. Draft a guy we can develop for a year and then trade Latt possibly for a 1st round pick next year.

Plus in years past, he can play great all game but he always ends up allowing a deep pass near the end of the game. If you want to be paid as a top corner, you have to play like it until the game ends.

Theilen was hobbled all week and absolutely destroyed Lattimore on Out Routes time and time again

Cam Akers - RB Florida State

Put up nice numbers on a under whelming O line & can catch the football out of the back field. With good coaching & a stout offensive line, he could take the next step. Possible mid round steal.

He's a Mississippi born and raised kid. Not sure how Ole Miss/Miss State/LSU passed on him.

Patrick Queen - LB LSU

If the Saints take a LB early, I'd love to have PQ. He's a sideline to sideline assassin, has closing speed & is a good athlete (sounds like Stephone Anthony).

Kind of hard to ignore the fact that he consistently showed up in big games (Bama, FL & Clemson) though.

AJ Epenesa - Iowa DE

Some scouts are claiming he's the best 5 tech coming out of the draft.
He finished off his collegiate career in the Holiday Bowl vs USC ... 2.5 SACKS & forced fumble.

Saw some tape of him vs Penn State ... he has one hell of a bull rush.

Lions, G'nats, Panthers, Dolphins - he's be tough to pass on if he fell to 24 as Cam Jordan had...

I live in Big 10 country and saw quite a bit of some of the Iowa games this year. He looked legit, draft him if he falls. DE is a rotational position so even with Jordan and Davenport on the roster I wouldn't hesitate.
