bredskin Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Sorry if this has been posted. http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/7241933 There is no doubting the ability of Oklahoma defensive tackle Tommie Harris. All one needs to do is take a peek at the tape from the 2002 Oklahoma-Texas game when he ran down Roy Williams on a reverse. But Harris does have some medical concerns, according to some teams. They are worried about his shoulder, which could be a problem down the road. Harris is still expected to be a top 10 pick, but Vince Wilfork of Miami might be the safer pick now that he has his weight in check. Wilfork was down to 323, but he is said to have gained 10 pounds on his honeymoon recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 The best interior lineman in the draft is Florida State’s Corey Simon, but his medical history is a very real concern. After sitting out the 1995 season after signing with Georgia but opting to go to Florida State instead, Simon has spent a lot of time rehabbing injuries. In the past four years he has had five surgeries: two on each shoulder and one on his left knee. He also had a cervical neck sprain. Simon has never had to play every down in a game because the Seminoles are so deep that they can rotate their linemen. At 6-foot-1¾, 283 pounds, Simon lacks ideal size for an NFL defensive tackle. However, he has the lower-body build and strength of a much bigger man and the quickness and movement of a linebacker. He can move around like a ’backer and plays with such good strength and technique that he will often split double-team blocks and get a push on his power rush. While he is not the pass rusher Warren Sapp is, Simon has almost as much athleticism and can even drop into pass coverage. http://archive.profootballweekly.com/content/archives/draft_1999/prospects_dl_122099.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
