My early thought is we might look at Vontae Davis, with an eye on playing him at FS. He's 5-11 or 6ft and comes in around 208...he is similar in a lot of ways to Eugene Wilson, except exponentially more talented... He covers like a corner and hits like a safety.

Just something they may consider...

I would love that pick. If we're gonna be stuck with the Tampa-2, we HAVE TO get some safety help.

Vontae Davis did 25 reps of 225 on the bench press. Pretty nice for a DB.

If my dumb-ass theory hold true (we draft what we should have drafted last year) then he'll be a Bear.

Hey WAB, in light of Andre Smith backing out of the combine are you still going to rate him as your top tackle prospect?

I'd say currently it's:

Jason Smith, Baylor
Eugene Monroe, Virginia
Andre Smith, Alabama
Michael Oher, Ole Miss
Britton/Beatty (toss-up for me)

FB... I don't give a sh*t about the combine, so I'd still take him if he falls to the right spot.

G08... as long as there's not another big run on tackles, that order looks pretty good for us.

We should be able to land a top OT/WR/DE in round one.

In other news, William Moore ran a 4.49 at his pro day. Too bad the guy's a SS, cuz we're "committed" to Kevin Payne :frustrated:
