JAY's
DRAFT VALUES
players
who will have a better NFL career than many drafted higher than them
updated:
03/24/08 numbers in red are among the
best in the draft class
|
Flacco
QB
Delaware |
Flacco
has a very strong arm. In addition, when he decides to
make a throw, his release is very quick. For a big kid,
he moves well in the pocket, ala Ben Roethlisberger. I
believe he has the biggest upside of all quarterbacks in this
draft, although he will need time to catch up to the speed of
the game in the NFL. This is quarterback I would target
in the draft. |

Johnson
QB
San Diego |
While
definitely a great athlete, Johnson is also a good
passer. He is much more than an athlete playing
quarterback. Last year he threw 43 touchdowns and only 1
interception. And, no that is not a misprint. He
also ran for 726 yards (7.2 yards per rush). In
time, Johnson could be what Vick was suppose to be.
Johnson will grow into one of the better quarterbacks in the
NFL. |

O'Connell
QB
San Diego St |
O'connell
is a tall, athletic kid who throws very well on the
move. He will need time to develop but has too much
upside to risk on a team's development squad (where he can be
plucked off by another team). At 6'5", O'connell
ran for 408 yards his senior year. I believe he will be
a Matt Hasselbeck-type of quarterback down the line. |

Johnson
RB
East Carolina |
I
know it's not "football knowledge savvy" to place
too much emphasis on workout numbers, but come on, a 4.24
forty! At the Combine even, not on campus under ideal
conditions. Johnson was a marginal first round selection
before this workout. Since it, analyses have
concentrated on his lack of inside running ability. But
the kid can catch. The kid can run outside. And
the kid may be the fastest player in football. I also
believe he will run inside better than many think. Worst
case, he
can be for a team what the Saints wanted Bush to
be. Johnson may not be an every-down back, but he
will be a very valuable member of a team whether carrying the
ball, or having defenses keeping track of his every move
fearful of him going the distance at any moment. A smart team will grab him in round one. |

Forte
RB
Tulane |
If
I were a GM and needed a full time starting running back, I
would skip drafting any running back not named McFadden in
round one and draft Forte in round two. He is going to
be a top NFL starter. He runs tough, has more speed than
originally believed, and catches the ball very well. He
is the total package. Unfortunately, we may have to wait
a bit to see it because he could be drafted as a backup to an
established starter. |

Choice

Georgia Tech |
Choice
runs tough between the tackles and is a natural running
back. He makes sharp cuts and has good, but not great
speed. At minimum, Choice is the move-the-chains part of
the two-headed running back in vogue in today's NFL.
Best case, he is a full time starter. |

Parmele
RB
Toledo |
Parmele
is a shifty runner with good speed, tremendous athleticism,
and the ability to make people miss. He will be a good
change-of-pace back in the NFL. In a draft deep at
running back, Parmele could fall through the cracks, but he
should have a nice NFL career. |

Caldwell
WR
Florida |
This
is a strange draft for wide receivers. There are more
questions about the first round receivers who will be counted
on as #1 receivers than there is for the receivers who will be
solid number two or threes. Caldwell is the best of the
#2's. During Senior Bowl week he continually blew bye
corners in practice. He has very good hands, and
terrific speed and quickness. I have no doubts about him
developing into a good #2 receiver. |

Hawkins
WR
California |
As
a fan of the show Jericho, I 'gotta' like him for his
last name alone. Hawkins is a player I absolutely love
in this draft. In Senior Bowl practices he routinely
made incredible catches. He was a highlight reel all by
himself. He followed up that display with a very good
Senior Bowl Game. Hawkins isn't the fastest receiver,
isn't the biggest receiver, isn't the quickest receiver, which
makes him a bit of a risk when compared to others available in
this draft. He makes great catches, in part, because he
doesn't get the same separation as those bigger, faster,
quicker receivers. He will need a quarterback who trusts
him and isn't afraid to throw into tight windows for him to
reach his full potential. However, if he is paired with
such a quarterback, when looked at 10 years down the road, he
just may be considered the best receiver to come out of this
draft. |

Avery
WR
Houston |
Avery
has a rep of being a one-dimensional receiver who runs fly
patterns. He is, however, considered a very good
one-dimensional receiver because he gets open deep and catches
the ball very well. I believe there is more to his
game. He is a tough kid who will run curls, ins and outs
when asked to do so in the NFL, and will catch the ball.
In other words, I expect Avery to blossom in the NFL as an all
around receiver who is a home run threat. He won't be a
#1, but will be a very good #2. He will need some time
to round out his game. He is also a good return man. |

Hubbard
WR
Wisconsin |
Want
a sleeper who could be available on day two, but turn into a
solid NFL starter? How about Hubbard. He only
played 8 games his senior year but has an excellent
combination of size, speed, quickness, and athleticism.
He needs better concentration to become a more reliable
target, but has shown good hands in long spurts. He also
comes from a school that has produced NFL receivers like Chris
Chambers and Lee Evans. If drafted in the right
situation (one where he has a chance to see the field),
Hubbard could be a pleasant surprise. |

Shields
WR
Richmond |
Shields
is one of the most intriguing wide receiver prospects in this
draft. He injured his knee early in this senior season
but still is among the all time leading receivers at
Richmond. The book on Shields was that he had excellent
hands, runs good routes, and is a tough kid who gets good YAC.
The knock on him was suspect speed, especially coming off a
knee injury. Then he worked out. He has great
speed. In addition he is a tremendous athlete with good
quickness and the ability to make sharp cuts. This
is the type of data that I've found results in a better NFL
player than most project. He is a player on the field
who many thought did it with limited measureables. Then
he added a great workout to his on-field skill. |

Arthur
WR
Akron |
I
am still waiting on Arthur's Pro Day to see if I feel his
potential is even better than I have here. Every year I
identify a receiver who catches the ball very well, has good
skills, but is not in the class of other players in the draft
in terms of athletic skills. This is a player who will
be signed as a street free agent and has the ability to stick
around and eventually be a contributor down the line.
Last year it was Dominique Zeigler. He hung around the
49ers all year on their practice squad. This year it's
Arthur. He has good size, excellent hands, and makes
tough catches. Whether drafted late or signed as a free
agent, this kid will be tough for a team to cut. Down
the line he can become a contributor as a #4 wideout. |

Cottam
TE
Tennessee |
Cottam
only played 5 games his senior year, but showed excellent
hands in Senior Bowl practices and had a touchdown catch in
the game. Cottam is a big tight end at almost 6'8"
and 270 pounds. For a man his size he has shown the
ability to develop into a good blocker. With questions
about Fred Davis as a first rounder and Keller more of a bulk
up wide receiver than true tight end, if I needed a tight end
in this draft I would target Cottam in round two or three and
go a different way earlier in the draft. |

draft. This kid will be a steal for a team in the draft.

not be the first center that comes off the board. |

end in a 3-4. Laws is one of those players that looks like
an overachiever, but isn't, he's just very good and very
talented. Would I draft him in round? As Tom Cullen
would say, Laws yes! |

Moore

Maryland |
Moore
is a great athlete who has not transferred his enormous skills
from practice to the game consistently yet. However, with
time and good coaching he could be a stud in the NFL. The
best thing that could happen to Moore is that he goes in round
three and has to work to get a big contract at the end of his
rookie deal. He needs work on his technique. So far
he has gotten by on his physical skills. I'm betting on
this kid putting it together and being a very good NFL player. |

Rubin
DT
Iowa State |
Rubin
was unblockable during Senior Bowl drills and followed that up
with a very good game. He can play inside in a 4-3 and
also could play the nose in a 3-4. He is a strong kid who
is a good athlete for a nose tackle. I expect Rubin to
grow into a top run-stuffing tackle who can also push the pocket
and get pressure on the quarterback up the middle. Rubin
is an underrated prospect heading into the draft. |

Shirley
DT
Fresno State |
Shirley
is a monster of a man who is a very good run-stuffer. He
had off-the-field issues which limited him to 3 games in 2007
(was suspended). However, a 330 pound player who runs a
5.0 forty, has a short shuttle time equal to Felix Jones,
Rashard Mendenhall and DeSean Jackson, and a 3 cone time like
Devin Thomas doesn't grow on trees. If the he gets drafted
onto a veteran team with good discipline, he should develop into
a top NFL nose tackle. |

Langford
DE
Hampton |
Langford
is a rare big defensive end. He has good pass rush moves
and will be a solid end in a 3-4 defense. Langford played
very well in the East West Shrine All Star Game showing he could
step up in competition and be the only player who could put
consistent pressure on quarterbacks. |

Jones
DE
E Michigan |
Jones
played out of position at defensive tackle in his senior year.
He has played well at end in the college post-season. He
could be a sleeper for a team as a rotation player at end who
kicks inside in the nickel ala Justin Tuck of the Giants for
pass rush purposes. Jones should have a nice NFL career. |

Johnston
DE
Gardner-Webb |
Johnston
is a deep sleeper. He has good size and showed good pass
rushing skills and good pursuit in the Hula Bowl. The
step-up in competition did not effect him. He is a top
athlete for the position with speed, quickness and athleticism. |

Gholston
DE/OLB
Ohio State |
How
is a top five or ten pick making a list of under-valued players?
Because he will be that good. Gholston should be Miami's
pick at number one in the draft. He will be a dominate
pass rusher like recent defensive end to outside 3-4 linebackers
converts Ware and Merriman. |

Howard
DE/OLB
Georgia |
Howard
is clearly too small to play defensive end in the NFL, although
I thought the same thing about the Colts' Robert Mathis.
Howard is ideally suited to play outside linebacker in a 3-4
defense. He is a top athlete and has great speed for a man
his size. He also has very good pass rushing skills.
Howard will be a long time quality NFL starter. |

Woodyard
OLB
Kentucky |
Woodyard
is a very active player with the ability to make plays
sideline-to-sideline. He has excellent speed and
quickness. He is also a tough kid who likes to hit.
He is perfect as a WILL linebacker on a team that emphasizes
speed over size. He looked very good during Senior Bowl
practices making tackle after tackle in drills. However,
in the game he had some very good moments, but also missed some
tackles. He will need to play under a little more
control to become a more sure tackler in the NFL, but I believe
that will be an easy adjustment for this kid. |
