NCAA | J. Moss leaning towards leaving school early
Fri, 5 Jan 2007 23:04:41 -0800

Edgar Thompson, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Florida DE Jarvis Moss said he is "kind of leaning" toward leaving school early and declaring for the 2007 NFL Draft. Moss said the NFL's advisory committee projected him to be a second-round draft pick.
 
I'll play devils advocate & say its a good move for Gaithers.

#1 there is pent up demand for LT

#2 scarcity of top LT's in the 07 draft

#3 surplus of top LT's coming out in 08 draft

enough said, money talks & he has the talent so some team will be patient & develop him, remember we are talking about a franchise LT :bowser:

Scouts seem to have their opinion right now. They have him late 1st.

the draft site I use has him ranked as the #2 WR prospect in the draft behind LSU Dwayne Bowe. even if/when Calvin Johnson declares I see him moving in front of Bowe on his combine #s and when scouts get a better up close look at him will realize his playmaking potential, in a deep WR class if he lasts to the 2nd rd. he would most likey project as the bpa when the Texans make their pick giving Andre someone who can stretch the field & Carr his playmaker :twocents:

Meachem is flying under radars and is being said to be a late first/early second right now. Granted it won't stay that way for long, but would you take him in the second with our other pressings needs?

So is the little reciever from UTEP. He looks too small , but he's one of those elite speed/quick guys.

There you go YTF, this should make your weekend.

Yes it does. We go from1 elite OT prospect to two. He needs another year to develop his technique, but everyone loved Spencer who was a freaking DT and only played 1 year of OT before everyone labled him for the HoF. Gaither is 10x the prospect of Spencer. When it all shakes out, after the combine and his private workouts, he will be top 10 material. I've been pimping the guy since last year when I couldn't help but notice him when I was reviewing tape on VD. Gaither has STUD written all over him and I just pray the Texans consider this beast.
 
Chris Houston, CB Arkansas also declared...I don't know how good he is but look who he as faced this year:

Jarrett 5 for 35 0 TD
Rice 7 for 126 1 TD
Meachem 4 for 65 1 TD
Bowe 5 for 68 0 TD
Ingram 6/71 0 TD

He is battle tested.
 
Yeah, this draft is getting deeper. Even more chance of Russell or Smith dropping. Not every team ahead of us needs a QB.

....i don't think we need to worry about whether Smith will 'drop' to us or not. Even before his horrible excuse for a game he would have been there for us. Because i didn't and don't see him amazing anyone at the combine.

Is this the guy who was all the offense for Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl. What type of back is he? Would he work here? and Where do you think he will go?

He has big time speed, can catch the ball, and deliver a little bit of pop.

But he is a little small and has had injury problems.

I see him as a 3rd round pick.
 
walker is such an average back. nothing flashy about him whatsoever. fits the charlie weiss-mold, i guess. kevin faulkish.
 
I disagree with statement about injuries, he has played in everygame except his first at ND. He is bigger than K Faulk but is a similar RB. Would be a good change of pace back. Would he fit here? He is better than Lundy and would be an ok change w/ Dayne. He catches the ball well and has the speed to get to the outside. Walker does not run with much power. Doesn't dance and hits his hole quickly. He is a first day back or he wouldn't be coming out.

Looks like Ted Ginn has to go pro now.

Without Gonzalez to draw coverage away everybody would already see what I see.

A track star who can run streak routes and has a bad attitude.

Agreed: He is a one trick poney. The trick he does is very, very nice. We'll have to see how that translates into draft position. Make a very nice weapon for somebody.

Rice too is a great prospect. But you're buying the guys speed. Not his recieving skills. I haven't seen hands that bad on a first round prospect since Kenny Burough. He definatly is a project that needs a first class recievers coach.

If you are talking about Ginn...then yes.

Rice is pretty much a top WR all around. I have him ahead of Jarrett, just behind CJ and Meachem. Ahead of Bowe and Samzaijda (sp) or from ND.
 
You need to do some re-reveiwing then. His hands are more than a little suspect. Moreover....he will have a more than difficult time bring his game into the nfl. Book it. If the ball is over the shoulder, fly pattern...it's money in the bank. On a dig, slant, or out...every target will be an adventure. The guy has world class speed no doubt. But he also comes with with some baggage in the form of hands of stone. He's a body trapper not a hands snatcher. Makes a difference.
