Sonny9TD Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Guys my brother is a die hard Miami Hurricane fan so i get to watch each and every game with him and I have got to say from an NCAA fan standpoint Calais Campbell was nothing more than an average DE.....ACC tackles were standing him up and beating him to his own punches....even the Duke tackle gave him problems....he shined bright at times dont get me wrong but to be a first round draft pick in the NFL i think you need to stand out and be a play maker like our number 21 was...... We need to build on our D Line no question about it but lets get a stud tackle or another DE just not Campbell.....I want to give my two cents here because i know there are not a lot of hurricane fans who get to watch every game and I did.......I know you guys are into numbers so here it is my man only had 6 sacks this year 50 tackles for a sub par defense i dont think thats first round material....but we shall see if Vinny thinks he is! At first I would have liked Campbell but now that you have enlightened me with some great scout work we should indeed look elsewhere with our 1st round pick. If there is a DE that will make an impact then we should take him. A guessing game. I wouldn't mind trading down in this draft and picking up some OL and DL.

bedlamVR Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I wonder if your analaysis has been picked up by other scouts and he may be a first round faller because of his attitude and work ethic etc. I have seen him dropping of Mock draft boards ... in the first round at least...

The_cavalierman Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The Redskins need to go after a DE that has produced sacks......PERIOD Remember everyone was questioning Randy Moss because his school was not a big enough name even though he had 50 TDs and ran faster than the wind. Moss made everyone who passed on him pay. So when the Skins are looking for a pass rusher they need to pick the guy that has a record of sacking QBs no matter what level he played at. It is up to the defensive coach to put the player in a position to make plays within his scheme or design a new scheme around the talents of his players. Whatever it takes to win....

[[ghost]] Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 He won't make it to # 21. Don't worry. Thats what we all thought at first. But slowly, his stock is dropping sensationally. He could end up being this year's Alan Branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeRedskins Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 agreed. never been a fan on drafting guys based on "potential" I agree with not drafting on "potential" (see Matt Jones) but you draft every player based on some sort of potential and sometime measurables are to much to overlook (position changes aren't). I think at 21, CC will be a steal. You can't teach tall and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted: Super Bowl Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 A steal at 21 would be what the cowboys pulled off last year trading there late round draft pick for next years first and a later draft pick that would help us....As much as i hate to say it we are not one player away from putting ourselves into the elite teams in this league...so lets build this thing up and start drafting smart! Lets please not go after supposed talent that had a great sophmore year and mailed in his junior year....PLEASE NO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Maybe other teams see film, we get him in 2nd round, ha, ha. It sickens me to think the Cowboys got a better player of similar size, Chris Canty, in the 3rd round. Chris Canty is NOT better than Calais. Not even close. Canty is a situational player.

hogfat Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 as a life long canes fan.......the problem with calais is that hes only got one move......he has a great inside rush.......if he can learn some other moves he will be ok.......he will test off the charts at the combine because physically hes a freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason he went to Marshall is because he was kicked out of Florida State... 50 touchdowns is 50 touchdowns no matter where you play.... Moss dropped because scouts were too stupid to realize he was a kid doing stupid stuff that immature kids do. I dunno but Moss looks pretty mature to me now.
