Thaddeus Gibson report from NFLDraftScout as a player rising:

Thaddeus GibsonOLBOhio StateWith 34 of the 39 defensive end prospects invited to the also taking part in linebacker drills, clearly scouts are putting a greater focus on identifying which collegiate ends can make the transition to the rush linebacker position for the 3-4. According to feedback from scouts, Gibson was arguably the most impressive athlete making this conversion. The 6-2, 243-pounder registered a 4.27 in the short shuttle and a 6.84 in the 3-cone drill designed to show burst and quick change of direction. Gibson's times ranked among the top 10 in defensive line and linebacker drills.

I like your Cardinal draft but I am not seeing the same things you are in your first rounder. No way McCoy goes before Suh after the combine bench press. Thats just too dramatic a difference in strength.

No way Claussen goes past the Seahawks TWICE. Pete Carroll socuted the hell out of him as a high school prospect and admittedly loves the kid. And all the people bashing on him as a prospect are not watching the same thing I am am. He has a plus arm, good size, and maybe one of the more accurate QB's to come out in a while. Walterfootball.com makes the case that he is the best Junior QB prospect EVER.

Saying all that I don't want the Cardinals to draft him. I don't like his makeup personally.

Bradford, if he proves to be healthy, will end up going to the Rams and definitely no later then the Redskins.

I'll name you a Eagles linebacker. Stewart Bradley, and although injured last year, they LOVE him. I don't see Weatherspoon going there.

Mays will rise but I amnot sure that high.

Other then that I love it;)

They're very different types of DTs. McCoy projects as a penetrating Warren Sapp type. Suh is more of a Gerard Warren all-purpose DT (only hopefully he'll be better. Knowing the kind of defense that Spagnolo runs, you know that he's going to want the penetrator over the all-purpose guy. I think that Suh is a better prospect as well, but that's not from Combine bench-press numbers. If you're drafting based on bench press, then you deserve what you get.

I have the Seahawks taking Bradford. That's why they pass on Claussen. I honestly don't like any of the QBs in this draft. At least not to be a Franchise guy. I don't want to train spread QBs to play under center. Scouts should be wary of all of the Big 3 in the first 15 picks of the draft.
