2011 NFL Draft and Offseason

B, got a few here.........


Richard Murphy to the Jaguars and from the looks of things TT #80 will go to the Texans. Best of luck to all.:geauxtige

 

Josh Jasper to the Bucs.........:geauxtige

 

Dawan Landry is a free agent, wouldn't mind him replacing Harper.

 

this dude here was projected 3rd-4th round but didn't get taken because of character issues (difficult childhood, had to go Hargrave Military Academy for a year instead of enrolling in Clemson like he was supposed to, and in 2008, during the offseason between his freshman and sophomore years, he was charged with aggravated assault and battery after he beat up his girlfriend..... but by 2009 he emerged as a team captain an academic honor-roll student in back-to-back semesters)

at Clemson, he was a First-team All-American, and out of high school he was Rivals100 (#90), Rivals #6 safety and had offers to Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Auburn, Clemson, etc

at Clemson, he played both linebacker and safety, and also a rover or fourth linebacker

2010: 75 tackles (84 including special teams), 4 interceptions, 4 pass breakups

2009: 58 tackles (102 including special teams), 8 interceptions, 1 pass breakup

2008: 47 tackles (77 including special teams), 1 interception, 4 pass breakups

2007: 24 tackles (33 including special teams), 2 interceptions, 5 pass breakups

 

this is a big white guy from Indiana who, in high school, won the National High School Championship in wrestling, heavyweight division, and was named a High School All-American by Wrestling USA magazine. in football, he had offers to Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Indiana, Purdue

he blew it up at his Pro Day (wasn't at the combine), leading most to think he'd be drafted (as high as 4th round). compare his Pro Day numbers to the best numbers put up by Sedrick Ellis at his Combine/Pro Day:

6-3, 319: Larimore
6-1, 309: Ellis

225 Lb. Bench Reps:
36 -- Ellis (Pro Day)
34 -- Ellis (Combine)

5.18 -- Larimore
5.26 -- Ellis (Combine)

20 Yrd Dash:
2.91 -- Ellis (Pro Day)
3.01 -- Larimore
3.03 -- Ellis (Combine)

10 Yrd Dash:
1.69 -- Ellis (Pro Day)
1.71 -- Larimore
1.75 -- Ellis (Combine)

Vertical Jump:
30 -- Ellis (Pro Day)
29 1/2 -- Larimore
26 1/2 -- Ellis (Combine)

08'04" -- Larimore

20 Yrd Shuttle:
4.57 -- Larimore

this guy has some speed, and was expected to be drafted. he ran a 4.47 forty at his pro day, with a height/weight of 6-0, 199 and in high school, won the county championship in the 100m as a senior (10.9), and also took third in the 200m (22.6). he's a SS prospect (did 23 reps in the 225 bench press at his Pro Day), but he also played CB in college

compare his #s to Roman Harper's best at his combine/pro day: Harper ran a 4.50 forty with a height/weight of 6-0, 198 (that's before Harper tore his ACL) and only did 19 reps in the 225 bench press
