Draft Warriors

I was browsing through YouTube.com and I came across a profile for someone named Draft Warrior. This person, I am not sure of their credentials or their experience with the NFL draft, but I thought it was pretty cool. Draft Warrior updates their video big board all year long. Final updates for the guards, centers and fullbacks are posted so I thought it would be interesting to post the final updates to my blog so you can follow with ease if you are interested in the draft whatsoever.

Draft Shake Up

New head coach Mike Shanahan and the Washington Redskins are shaking up the draft. The Redskins hold the 4th pick in the draft this year and were expected to take a quarterback with the 4th overall pick to usher in the new regime in the Nation's Capital. However, the Redskins recently traded for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, the Redskins reportedly offered disgruntled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth in the trade but were rejected because of the mammoth price tag that accompanies the mammoth defensive tackle. Both the move and the attempted move by the Redskins really put the Detroit Lions in a tough spot. The Lions hold the number two overall pick in the draft and were looking to trade down with a team that was looking to draft a quarterback before the Redskins could. However, now that the Redskins have a pro bowl caliber quarterback leading their offense next season they will not be looking at a quarterback and teams will not have to look to jump the Redskins to get a quarterback. Also there was a slim possibility that a team could also trade up to get defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. However, with Albert Haynesworth supposedly on the market teams can get a powerful tackle without having to give up draft picks.
As it looks right now with the Rams releasing quarterback Marc Bulger, Sam Bradford will be the number one pick in this years draft allowing the Detroit Lions their pick of the four players I just spotlighted in the last 4 blogs. But still their best bet would be Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh because he can solidify a front 7 that didn't play as a cohesive unit all last season. Suh could cause a lot of disruption in the middle and allow the edge rushers for the Lions to get pressure on the quarterback.

Here is a video from NFL Network analyzing the trade and McNabb's potential impact as a Redskin.

Gerald McCoy

Gerald McCoy is a very distinct possibility if the St. Louis Rams select Ndamukong Suh with the first overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. McCoy went to high school at Southeast High School. In both his junior and senior years McCoy sacked the quarterback 20 times each season. These 40 sacks allowed McCoy to be the top rated defensive tackle in the 2006 class as well as the 2005 National Defensive Player of the Year just to name a few of his honors. Here is a video from back in McCoy's college days.

McCoy stayed in state and went to Oklahoma University. After being redshirted in 2006 McCoy was named the 2007 freshman of the year. In his 3 year college career McCoy had 33 tackles for loss and 14.5 sacks. During his junior season MCoy broke the record for most consecutive starts by a defensive lineman with 38 starts. McCoy was also named a first team All American in 2008 and 2009. Here is a video for Gerald McCoy from his time as an Oklahoma Sooner.
