2010 DT prospects

Hall of Fame
Let's see the defensive tackle prospects guys. I am not optimistic about any of the defensive tackles on our roster's progression. Maybe Robinson a little and Okam very little, but that's it. Okoye is a liability, and although he is only 22, he isn't progressing. Maybe I could believe in him if I saw constant, even slow progression. But it's not there.

6-4 297 lb RS/JR Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma

Career stats entering 2009 season:

49 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 interception, 2 pass breakups.

6-4 300 lb RS/SR Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska

Career stats entering 2009 season:

130 tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 3 blocked kicks, 3 interceptions (2 returned for TDs), 5 pass breakups.

6-5 365 lb SR Terrance Cody, Alabama

Career stats with Alabama entering 2009 season (one season of play):

24 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, .5 sack, 1 forced fumble, 2 fumble recoveries.

6-5 305 lb SR Vince Oghobaase, Duke

Career stats entering 2009 season:

128 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, 1 safety, 1 blocked kick.


Please add some guys to this list, or if you can give the 2009 stats for these players.
 
This adds nothing to the thread, but one of my better girl friends (not an old girlfriend, just a friend who is a girl) from my hometown goes to OU and has dated McCoy off and on for the past year or two and I've met him a couple times. Big guy, big hands, seemed pretty nice. Never worked up enough backbone to ask him for an autograph, don't think my friend/his girlfriend would like that too much.
 
nice list TS, and I like those guys, it just leaves me with bile in my mouth when I realize we have to try and fill a need in that position...again.

Pretty much my problem too. I'm dreading the thought of getting another DT in the first where it's really boom or bust. The back end of the defense needs help terribly and I hope this staff(assuming its still here) finally addresses the need early on.

Has anyone else noticed how quietly well Kyle McCarthy for the Irish has played real well? He's not Eric Berry but the guy has 3 games and 3 picks. One of which sealed a victory. Could be a second or third round steal.
 
I will try to do it in the same way the 2010 Safeties thread.

Tier 1- Elite Prospects

Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh, 6'4" 302 lbs
Suh will be a stud. Speed, strength, agility, intelligence, he has it all. Probably the best DT I have seen coming out of college since I started paying attention (5 years). He is a top 5 pick for sure.

Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy, 6'4" 298 lbs
Another stud, and if this were any other year he would be the top DT prospect without a doubt. Again, size, speed, strength, its all there. Top 10 pick

Tier 1 1/2- Very Good Prospects

Syracuse's Arthur Jones, 6'3" 295 lbs
Jones does not nearly get the respect he deserves. I want to put him in the first group, but I worry that he looks so good because of his competition (Big East). Anyway, he is a legit player. Top 15 pick, very good against the run. He actually might be one of the best DT's for us because he is almost perfect for the NT spot.

Duke's Vince Oghobaase, 6'5" 305 lbs
Another player who does not get respect. Oghobaase is the real deal, despite what the internet people say. Just watch some Duke games and you will see why. He might not even go in the 1st, but I would be very happy if the Texans got him.

Tier 2- Good Prospects

North Carolina's Marvin Austin, 6'3" 305 lbs
Austin is an athletic freak, reports of 4.8 speed. His play needs to reflect that though, which is why I bump him down. Athletically he could be in the next tier, but I have not seen enough out of him to warrant it.

Georgia's Jeff Owens, 6'1" 306
A little shorter than one would like to see, he makes up for it in effort. More of a run stuffer than pass rusher, he has elite strength but marginal speed. 2nd rounder.

Florida's Lawrence Marsh, 6'4" 304 lbs
Marsh is one of the cogs in the vaunted Florida D. Spikes gets most of the recognition (and rightfully so) but Marsh is the one who keeps the big uglies off of him. He should stay in school, but if he declares he should go in the second.

Tier 3- Solid Prospects

Alabama's Terrence Cody, 6'4" 365 lbs
Eh. I am not as high on him as others, as many of you are no doubt aware. Cody is nothing more than a run stopper, a two down player at best. He gets by because of his immense size, that wont work in the pros. He has the talent of a third rounder, but will go in the first because of his bulk. BUST.

Penn State's Jared Odrick, 6'4" 298 lbs
Odrick may fit better as a 34 end. He is an unspectacular player, not much really to say. He does his job, and should be selected in the 2nd/3rd.

Wake Forest's Boo Robinson, 6'1" 295 lbs
Another shorter DT, Robinson is more a balanced player. He had a slow start to the season, but picked it up last week. Robinson should be a 3rd rounder, maybe 4th.
 
I will try to study some of these guys.

Here are Cody's first 3 plays against VTech:

1-10
Got double team. They also ran away from him to the outside.

2-8
Ran away from him to the outside.

3-2
Got double teamed again. Leaving his teammate to make the third down stop.
 
This season's stats up to date:

I listed the guys that I think will get drafted in the first round.

Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska:
vs Florida Atlantic - 7 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 pass batted down
vs Arkansas St - 5 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks
at Virginia Tech - 8 tackles, .5 TFL, .5 sack, 4 passes batted down

Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma:
vs BYU - 5 tackles, 4 TFL
vs Idaho St - 2 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 1 sack
vs Tulsa - 1 tackle, 1 TFL

Arthur Jones, Syracuse:
vs Minnesota - 5 tackles, 1 TFL
at Penn St - 2 tackles
vs Northwestern - 2 tackles, 1 TFL

Terrence Cody, Alabama:
at Virginia Tech - 1 tackle
FIU - 3 tackles, 2.5 TFL
North Texas - 5 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 pass batted down
 
I want Smithiak to use the draft to upgrade the secondary. A CB and two S would suit me fine.

I would rather see a big run stuffing DT be picked up in FA. (Hampton or Seymour) Spend all of the FA money you have to sign one of these guys.

Dont spend anymore high draft picks on the hope that some developmental DT actually develops. (Okoye)

Spend the Money BoB
 
I think a distinction needs to be made between UT and NT. We need a NT/DT not an UT/DT. The only guys on these lists that are NT/DT are Terrence Cody, Ndamukong Suh, and Vince Oghobaase though I'm not real familiar with all of these guys. McCoy, and Jones are UT's like Amobi Okoye. I hope he's still around in the 2nd round, might be a late 1st rounder, but the guy I'd like to see the Texans go after in the 2nd is Vince Oghobaase. This guy has athleticism and the size and frame to easily handle another 20-25 lbs. without losing speed. I really hope that we don't target a DT in the 1st round, it's really getting old, going after D-linemen in the 1st round. Lets spread some of that talent around, it's desparately needed in the secondary.
 
I have daily thoughts and wishes that Okam will wake up one day, and decide he wants to be a terror in the NFL for the next 8 years.
 
Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska:
Florida Atlantic - 7 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 pass batted down
Arkansas St - 5 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks
at Virginia Tech - 8 tackles, .5 TFL, .5 sack, 4 passes batted down
UL Lafayette - 6 tackles, .5 TFL, 1 pass batted down

Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma:
BYU - 5 tackles, 4 TFL
Idaho St - 2 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 1 sack
Tulsa - 1 tackle, 1 TFL

Arthur Jones, Syracuse:
Minnesota - 5 tackles, 1 TFL
at Penn St - 2 tackles
Northwestern - 2 tackles, 1 TFL
Maine - no stats accumulated

Terrence Cody, Alabama:
at Virginia Tech - 1 tackle
FIU - 3 tackles, 2.5 TFL
North Texas - 5 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 pass batted down
Arkansas - 1 tackle
 
I am looking forward to seeing Al Woods from LSU. He has all the tools to get it done, now its a matter of doing it. He has the potential to be a late round steal, but he needs to get his head into the game and just do it.

Also looking at Boo Robinson from Wake Forest. He is a Huge run stuffer that can push up the middle as well. Might be a potential role DT on obvious run situations. Potential 3rd-4th rounder now.
 
I cannot stomich the approach of throw another 1st rd. pick on the DL, can't. address this need in free agency as a top priority but not via the draft is just to hard to project players potential @ this position.

I would however be willing to invest for future purposes a 3rd/4th rd. pick. Would prefer someone already sound fundamentally from solid defensive program like Wake Forrest (Aaron Curry, Alphonso Smith & Chip Vaughn). Boo Robinson is now a Senior, his specialty is run stuffer, good quickness, smart & well coached. I think he would fit in nicely as a rotational player with good effort.
 
Not to de-rail the thread, but i think we need to get a safety in the 1st round...by any means reasonably necessary. If we pick at the same spot as we did last year, that's perfect for us to draft one.
 
I don't want another 1st round D-lineman, there are other holes on the team that could use some good talent as well. It's time to spread some of that talent around. Also whoever we pick in the 1st round is very dependent on whether or not Dunta returns next year or not. If Dunta returns then I'd like to see us go after a Safety like Morgan Burnett in the 1st round and then go after Boo Robinson in the 2nd or 3rd round. If Dunta leaves then we'll need to fill that spot right away with either Trevard Lindley or Joe Haden, cause none of our backup CB's are worth a damn. We could then go Safety in the 2nd round and possibly Boo Robinson in the 3rd or if he's gone then the best O-lineman available.

I don't look for any particular position at the moment.
We still have FA and possible trade(s) before the next draft.

But it's always good to know if a certain is available at our spot, is he worthy enough for us to go BPA?!?

Pretty much, but you've got to do whatever it takes to get better up front.

Look at the Eagles. In 2005 they picked up DT Mike Patterson from USC in the 1st. In 2006 they picked up Broderick Bunkley from FSU in the 1st. They spent a 2nd on a DE in 2007.

Even though Patterson and Bunkley are starters who have played well, and are only 26, the Eagles still addressed DT in the 2008 draft. They picked up Trevor Laws from Notre Dame in the 2nd (their highest draft choice). They also took a DE in the 3rd.

I know it sucks to think we might have to go DT early, but we've got to get better up front. Whatever it takes.

Shows poor imagination, creativity & player evaluation if you must continue to address what has been repeated over & over. Rick should want to create a culture where the players are always asking, “Where did they get this guy from?” You want to show the players you recognize talent as GM. You want them to respect your evaluations so that when changes are needed, they accept the soundness of your decisions. As much as the players are showcasing their talents to the staff, the staff is showcasing their talents to the players and the rest of the league. The odds are against "Doing whatever it takes" (throwing another 1st rd. pick on this DL) because the personel should be able to run a stinking set already - can't trust a defensive braintrust to get it together & simply hand them over more blank checks :pop:

Philly drafts linemen because of Reid and his love for those hogs in the trench. Texans need DT/Safety/CB/OG and these need to be addressed first. Hell i think the Texans need to use all picks on the D side this year. I cant believe I just said that, but its true.

Info on nfldraftscout.com on V.O. Has a recent leg injury. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=56563&draftyear=2010&genpos=
 
Walterfootball.com has Boo Robinson listed as 6'02" and 326 lbs., with that size I'd like it if the Texans took him in the 3rd round but your source has him listed as 295 lbs.. I think Vince Oghobaase has potential as well but I worry about his height, just like Okam, I wonder if he'll have trouble getting low enough and if O-lineman will stand him up easily. Tall NT's have leverage issues if they can't get low.

I agree with your assessment of Terrance Cody, his size and weight advantage won't work for him in the pro's. In college he outweighs O-linemen by 60-70 lbs. and doesn't need technique, in the pros his size and weight won't be a big issue or advantage for him. I also think he'll be a bust.

You are right about Cody and his alligator arms, but that kid is going to be a used in the 3-4
 
I hope McNair pays Casey Hampton to come home in FA and they Draft Boo Robinson in the 3rd rd. That should allow the secondary to get fixed in rds 1-2.

It looks like the Texans may be in the running for Berry/Mays.

Unfortunately
 
I've watched Boo Robinson for a couple of years...there is no way he lasts past the 1st couple of picks into the 2nd rd
 
As of today I am projecting Houston to draft about #14.
1st round Taylor Mays FS/SS this stud should go sooner but may fall like Malcom Jenkins
2nd round: If Mays gone Jerome Murphy South Florida CB/FS/KR 6'1" 185 4.48 in fact, I might draft him anyway. 2nd choice is Jared Odrick Penn STate DT/DE 6'4" 298
3rd round: Toby Gerhart Stanford RB/FB/HB 6'1" 235 rated 3rd best RB NFLdraftscout.com
4th round: Thomas Austin CLemson O.G. 6'3" 310 5.17 "good feet and sets like an anchor". Plays guard center and tackle.

I mean the fans...we get all excited about Vince Wilfork or some other guy who can actually play and they sign guys in diapers or players like TJ. Speaking of TJ the tackle play went down the tubes since they released him. Kinda tells us how crappy our interior DT's are.

In retrospect, the 04 draft is still haunting this organization.

Cappers needed a NT @ the point to lead his 3-4 & also two-gap DT end. Both Tommy Harris (Bears #14) & Vince Wilfork (Pats #21) were both still on the board.

Taking DT (Harris/Wilfork) over CB (Dunta Robinson) would also have negated the Babin trade making addressing the secondary more important than OLB (Jason Babin) & still on the board if they had not made that infamous trade was Safety Bob Sanders.

If they had addressed DT on one of these two prospects (plus secondary) they would not have reached for Travis Johnson in 05. How about addressing the QB position? Aaron Rodgers was falling, projected top 5 pick, how different would the Texans be now? This would have negated the David Carr extension plus the need to trade two 2nds for Matt Schaub.

Thats two more 2nd rd. picks added to the mix, not to mention with a better secondary no need to trade for Phillip Buchanon. One would think another DT or two could have been added with all those 2nd rd picks......

coulda woulda shoulda I know but it filters back to that 04 draft & the choices made which is directly related to why this defense is struggling today :foottap:

Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska is a hell of a football player. This guy is just dominating Mizzou. He just had an interception, he had a strip sack earlier, he has been in on tons of tackles.

From what I have seen thus far this season Ndamukong Suh is the best player in college football.

If they rush him, he is always in the backfield. I mean 90% of the time. They actually drop him quite a bit it looks like. Mizzou is double teaming him a lot and he still pushes two guys into the backfield.

They just called a horsecollar tackle on him but it was all jersey. He won't get the credit for that sack I don't think, but he should. Bogus call.
 
Hell Nebraska has a freaking pair of great DT's, but the Texans wont be able to get Suh unless they traded up and that wont happen.

Boo Robinson is not 295 as some sites suggest...he is definitely 305+....He gets good leverage and has quick feet. His mass is natural; not like some guys who have a large frame but not the natural weight...his slow start in the 1st 2 games is why he is down on some charts...hell I'd be glad if he fell to the 3rd or 4th rd that way we could get him for cheap. On a side note; whats with all the talk about being too tall to play DT because you could possibly get stood up? The top DTs in the NFL right now are all 6'3+ outside of maybe Hampton and Wilfork. Its about mass + strength + technique

I agree. There are some tall players that do have problems, same with tall RBs but it depends on the player. A bigger concern to me is the DTs we have (with exception of Okam) are below 310lbs and are not doing the job. Not saying it is strictly a weight issue but why draft someone same size of players that are not doing the job? If a player is stronger or just plain better I'm cool with that but identify that asset when you offer up for consideration.

zero issue with him going #1 overall. don't care WHO's drafting, he should be the #1 pick.

just spent a few hours watching Suh highlights.

zero issue with him going #1 overall. don't care WHO's drafting, he should be the #1 pick.

Good now if a few more players will push Taylor Mays down to us I'll be very pleased.:truck:
 
Suh is in the top 10 in the country in passes defended.

he's a DT.

there's not another defensive lineman in the top 100 in that category.

You are not saying you want your DT to defend passes are you? That would be a new concept for me.

He is saying that Suh knocks down so many passes at the line of scrimmage that he is in the top ten in the country in total passes defended. That's pretty impressive.

Did not realize that a knock down by a lineman was a pass defended stat. It is impressive regardless.
