Blackshirtsguru Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Fonzie: late 1st. It'd be a crime otherwise! I could see a 2nd, though. Would be such a shame. Crick: injury may hurt him. I could see a 2nd round pick here, only because he's been talked up for years now. David: For some reason the hype wasn't on him this year, and they all say he's undersized. I say bollocks, but it probably means round 3. Caputo: Probably undrafted, JMO. Terrance Moore, Hardrick and Brandon Kinnie might be interesting targets in the 6/7 area, but they are likely to go undrafted too. I remember a LB coming out of college by the name of Jessie Tuggle. The so called experts also stated that he was too small to play LB at the next level. Well, we all know how that turned out. Actually, I didn't. So I looked it up. How big was he actually? Jessie was 5'11 and weighed 232 lbs. He played for 14 seasons for the Atlanta Falcons and was chosen to attend 5 pro bowls. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2007. His nick name "The Hammer", was given by other members of the NFL because of the way he used to hit people. Quote Link to comment

huskrs12 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It seems like a lot of folks here are selling Dennard and especially Crick a little short. CBS Sportsline mock drafts (Rang, Brugler) think Dennard will go mid 1st (#14 or #17), and Crick might get picked up at the end of the 1st (#32/NR). David won't slide past the 3rd, but I wouldn't be surprised if some team falls in love with him and picks him mid-late 2nd. I'd be shocked if Caputo went before the 6th or 7th, if at all. I think Jones will probably be highest lineman taken, but not before 6th. Yoshi probably goes undrafted but gets picked up in FA. Highly doubtful Kinnie gets drafted at all after the horrendous performance this season. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 ^^ On the other hand maybe the Redskins will pick up all of those guys in the later rounds. They did pretty well with the Huskers they took last year. Quote Link to comment
HuskerCarter Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 I didn't think about Marcel Jones. Kind of slipped my mind. I really think his injury bug scares teams away from drafting him. Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 How sweet it would be for all 3 Dennard, Crick and David to go to Detroit. Move Crick to DE next to Suh or Fairly.. David running around behind them and Dennard shutting down his side of the field. Ok I just woke up. Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Detroit definitely needs linebacker and secondary help. Think they could help out a bunch. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 @heets_tweets Jonathan Heeter SI's first mock draft has former Wilcox Co standout Alfonzo Dennard (@fonziedennard15) projected to go No. 23 to the Detroit Lions. Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Sam Mills. Saints linebacker was fairly small too. Had a great career. Will Crick be healthy enough for the combine. Bench press reps are part of the process I believe. Can he pull that off. Quote Link to comment
gratefullred Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Lavonte David is listed at 225. Not good for a NFL OLB. Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Lavonte David is listed at 225. Not good for a NFL OLB. Watching Von Miller this year gives me greater hope for David.... Miller is undersized for his position as well.... Quote Link to comment
