Draft/FA Watch

Roll Tide! I like Wesley Britt of Bama. OLT 6-8 298 lbs. He a real player and will play hurt and love it. :applause:

 

Virginia junior OT D'Brickshaw Ferguson, one of college football's rising stars on the offensive line, is being quoted as saying that he will definitely be back at school next fall. The 6-5, 295-pound Ferguson is also a very good student and plans to graduate; indeed, Ferguson reportedly has some thoughts about ultimately attending law school some time down the road. It appears that junior OLB Daryl Blackstock will also be staying in school. Blackstock, a big-play outside backer, changed his number for today's MPC Computer Bowl in Boise against Fresno State (see above) from #56 to #1 and says that he did not plan on wearing the new number for only one game. Meanwhile, the father of sophomore MLB Ahmad Brooks is being quoted as saying his son will likely return to school, however, "anything could change. On the other hand, TE Heath Miller, who is expected to be the first TE off the board if he enters the draft, hasn't stated publicly whether he'll be staying the scholl or entering the draft; Miller, though, is widely believed to be strongly leaning toward turning pro. http://www.gbnreport.com/index.htm

 

I watched Britt a little in the bowl game and I wasn't real impressed. He doesn't move all that well. He's a mauler when he gets his hands on you, but he'd have trouble with the quicker DE's in the NFL.

It's official, I want Pettiti!

 

Do we know for sure where we are drafting?

 

Depends on the finish of the 4pm games.

Jonas Jenning OT Bills, KFFL say's the Bills likely won't resign him.

Seems like the prototypical Panthers OL, has played RT and LT for the Bills, played those + Guard and Center for the Bulldawgs.

 

I could handle adding him to the mix. If nothing else, he'd be a versatile back-up.

 

There was talk during the Vikes/Pack playoff game of OG #71 David Dixon stating that he wanted to play next year and he would take the vet minimum to do it.

He started all games the last 2 years at OG. Possible guy to compete?

... also my Mich. buddy says there is a senior center coming out that is pretty good and he can long snap... said he was moved from another spot on the line to Center. I assume he could play either G or RT also + Long Snap.

Do we still carry an extra guy on the roster that basically only long snaps?

A long snapping OL that can start would open up a roster spot for other needs.

here's the G2 on Dixon, I don't know anything about the guy though...
