DE's entering the draft

Pallilo mentioned this briefly and my understanding he will miss the year. Looks good on his non-football resume.

J.....can't find him now

Jake Ikegwuonu* Fourth by the Eagles, 131...thought it was the Steelers.

Anyway Rolle expresses an interest he'll be drafted. Jake had a lot more baggage and he went in the fourth. Role has to decide if he's going to put the real world stuff on hold or is he going after the bio chemist research scientist thingy. I don't see how he can do both. Wants to get paid no doubt. I guess it depends which owner would give him the grace to do both things ?

He doesn't have to enter anything....he's a senior and fair game for anyone who has the inclination to wait on the kid for a year. Read they will hold the rights to a high end prospect....cheap. Someone will take a shot at the guy this draft.

Rolle is a junior and still has a redshirt available.

He has only been at FSU three years.

Yea, he graduated in two and a half years with a degree exercize science.

From what I understand he will enter the 2010 draft after his one year at Oxford.

Aaron Maybin, Penn State would be my #1 defensive prospect if he declares early....... http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2009/01/10/those_close_to_maybin_unsure_o.aspx

Penn State DE Aaron Maybin is going to be a very fast riser in the draft. Scouting services have him late in the first and some have him in the second but he'll be gone by the first half of the first round. While some project him as a 3-4 OLB, there are 4-3 teams who think he can pack on 20 pounds of muscle with ease on his frame and play DE in a 4-3. Houston Texans, this could be your guy.

LZ apparently agrees with you.
 
I havn't been able to find very much video on Aaron Maybin at all, anybody got some links?

I did find this from July 2007. It's just him talking at a fundraising event, no football video at all. I always like to watch players in interview in addition to them playing. I guess you really can't tell, but I always like to see if they are intelligent, nice, well spoken, etc. Anyways, watch it if your interested.

Again this was from July 2007 Lift for Life fundraising event. It says during the offseason he really just focused on everything, gaining weight, adding muscle, studying film... Was 230 some odd pounds and at the interview he said he was at 246 lbs.

I searched for a while for Maybin video this morning and couldn't find anything that was exclusively him. HOWEVAH I was able to find this Penn State site that has highlights of all the games from this season. If you watch them, you see quite a bit of Maybin (#59). Check out the Michigan State or Ohio State game. This guy lives in the backfield. My only gripe with these videos is that they're focused to much on the offense. Penn State is about defense! :)
 
All of these kind of 3-4 OLB hybrid kind of players really have me interested. It seems there are so much more of these guys (at the top) than in the recent past.

I'm nowhere close to having the eye to tell if a prospect should be one place or another, or able to make the transition to a different position. I'll leave that to some of you guys and especially our coaches.

I wouldn't be opposed to having a guy like Brown or Maybin that may be able to play OLB (Adibi - Ryans - Maybin?) for 1st and 2nd downs and then moving up to RDE on passing situations or 3rd downs. I think it'll take a really special/athletic player to be able to do that though.

In anycase, at #15 I'm a big believer that we need to get a guy that will be pretty much an everydown player. As much as a pass rushing specialist would be helpful (actually crucial), I'd have a hard time if he only occasionally saw the field, was a situational guy.
 
TexansSeminole or someone familar with Florida State, what do you think of Neefy Moffett? 6-1 260 physical LDE could convert to RDE & hold up (strong enough) for the Texans late in the draft 5th/6th rd.?

He is talented, but lacks work ethic. He could have been very good here, but he just didn't go 100% all the time.

5th or 6th round sounds about where I would expect him to go.

Hardy could be the #1 DE next year if he has a good, healthy year. I'd also watch out for Carlos Dunlap at Florida. Florida will have all 11 starters on defense return. Their secondary next year will consist of the same starting 4 obviously, three juniors and a sophomore, with senior Pierre-Louis as their nickelback.

Feet....those rods in Hardy's feet are killing him. He's a gamer though for playing on them.

I think Cody went back to try and shed another twenty to twenty five pounds. At 325 he's a beast. At 345 he's the Pillsbury dough boy. He'll get rolled by NFL quality guards.
