Position: Defensive Tackle Weight: 321
Class: Senior 40-Yard: 5.25
Strengths: Has great size and big frame with long arms...Very strong up top...Has a lot of experience...Can be unblockable at times and almost forces offenses to devote two men to him...Can play the run as well as get after the quarterback...Has a good burst and good closing speed...Does a good job shedding blocks...Solid, reliable tackler.
Weaknesses: Has an inconsistent motor and can disappear for stretches...Doesn't have elite speed and quickness...Needs to get stronger in his lower half...Needs to get in better shape to play longer stretches...Still relies on his natural talent too much.
Notes: Probably a better prospect than Wendell Bryant was coming out of college...Erasmus James stole some of his thunder as a senior, but Hawthorne is still one of the top defensive tackles in this draft.

Notes: One of the top tight end recruits coming out of the prep ranks...May fit in best as a 3-4 defensive end at the pro level...Still has a lot of upside and could flouish in the right scheme

These are the players I would not be upset on draft day if we could get them. In the lower round its a crap shoot ( but I guess that could be said for any round of a draft) I tried to pick players that had upside for the lower rounds in a position of need.

I am going to only do the first two rounds for now…


David Pollack, DE, Georgia
Shaun Cody, DT, Southern California
Demarcus Ware, DE, Troy State


Luis Castillo, DT, Northwestern
Ernest Shazor, SS, Michigan
C. J. Moseley, DT, Missouri


Maybe a trade down in the first to pick up Ware and grab an extra pick could be in our best bet?

2 rounds here als:

1st: Travis Johnson, Spears, Pollack.... I like Merriman, but he will be gone for sure.
2nd: Elton Brown, Vincent or Ware

I just wanna see Cody...if he's gone by the time we get there..i dunno...but there's just somethin bout that guys effort.

My idea targets per round (no particular order):

Rd 1 David Pollack, Anttajj Hawthorne, Matt Roth ,Mike Patterson (yes this high even)
Rd 2 DeMarcus Ware, Chris Canty, Elton Brown, Josh Bullocks
Rd 3 or Rd 4 compensatory- Craig Bragg, Claude Terrell, Chad Owens/Roscoe Parrish, Dustin Colquitt
Rd 6 Maurice Clarett, Frank Gore, Jim Davis, Chase Lyman
Rd 7 Chris Rix, Santonio Thomas

1- Mike Williams, Alex Smith, Demarcus Ware, or Shaun Cody

2-Luis Castillo, Josh Bullocks, or Brodney Poole

3-Chris Kemoeatu, George Gause, or Vincent Jackson

Denver sends it's first, second and Pryce for BMW and kicks back.

I hope we can trade down

Round 1 at 25 no trade down
Pollack Roth Cody

Round one if we trade down

Baas Hawthorne M. Jackson

2nd Round

Canty Bullocks Iowa DT his name escapes me

3rd

Thorpe Colquitt Jackson

My favs in this draft

B. Edwards WR
M. Williams WR
Johnson LB
James DE
Spears DE/DT
Rolle CB
Pollack DE

Here's mine.

1st:
Shaun Cody DE/DT More Info Some places have him at #2 or #3 rated, so we got a shot at him.

or

Erasmus James DE More Info Know before people start to think I should be in the looney bin. Some places have him at #1 while others have him at #5. If some idiot scout has him at #5 then we've got a chance.

or

Demarcus Ware DE/OLB More Info This is my reach and boom or bust pick. I haven't seen him rated higher than #7 at DE or OLB. He would work in a 3-4 or a 4-3.

2nd:

Justin Tuck DE More Info Has the size of a DE and the speed of a OLB. Could be taught to cover some.

or

Chris Canty DE/DT More Info A fit for a DT in 4-3 or a DE in 3-4.

or

Josh Bullocks FS More Info We need a real FS. Nick Ferguson has good instinct and could hold the spot until he's ready.

3rd:

Ben Wilkerson G/C More Info We need G depth in 2 years after Cooper's contract runs out.

or

Elton Brown C/G More Info Another G thats quick, but also big unlike our other G.

or

Ronald Bartell More Info We need depth at CB since losing Kelly Herndon. And just in case Roc doesn't pan out as hoped.

6th:
Brandon Jacobs RB/FB More Info Great Project for the TE coach. He turned Gates into a the best TE in 2004.

or

Even Mathis C/G More Info

or

Joe Berger OT Project

7th:

Antwaun Rogers CB More info Return specialist.

or

Mike Montgomery DE/DT More Info Project

or

Micheal Hawkins CB More Info Return Specialist and Depth.

1st-Merriman- DE/OLB, Maryland (not likely)
Marlin Jackson- CB, Michigan (from my High School, but DO think he's the real deal)
Merriman- (SORRY, that's who I want) OK, OK, Antaaj Hawthorne- DT, Wisconsin

2nd-Baas- OG, Michigan
Face Kicker- OG, Utah
Kevin Everitt- TE, Miami

Is it me or are there more than a few d linemen that we all would love to have come to camp this fall...cody(dan or shaun), pollack, roth, james, and ware are a few of the ones i've seen Does anyone see that the lack of effort on the FA market for some new Dline, other than Warren mean that we are lookin at a 1st round d-line draft pick?

Hmmmmm....
