Never too early: 2007 NFL Draft Prospects

[BigDavis75]

9. LaRon Landry, DS, LSU
Landry has been terrorizing opposing quarterbacks and ball carriers since showing up on Baton Rouge's campus as a freshman in 2003. Three years later and with far more experience under his belt, Landry should rank among the elite defensive prospects in the 2007 draft. Landry checks in at only 190 pounds, but he fills hard versus the run and hits like a linebacker. Landry shows as much range as any safety in college football and is a true ball hawk with nine career interceptions leading up to his senior campaign. The NFL is looking for versatile playmakers at safety, and Landry embodies those qualities.

Here's our future free safety.

I was pimping Landry and Blalock before this draft for our 2nd round pick. Whenever I watched Texas to look at Young, Blalock always stood out to me. Same thing with their DT Okam.

7. Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn
After breaking out with 1,259 rushing yards in Auburn's final 10 games last season, Irons has emerged as a legitimate prospect to monitor at running back next year. With a good combination of size and speed to go with his punishing north-south running style, Irons could be a perfect fit for teams employing power-run offensive schemes (see: Panthers and Steelers).

Always funny when you can tell an analyst hasn't watched a player. Irons is a slasher, ans is by no means a "punishing runner."

Good for Irons, he was allowed to transfer from my Gamecocks where he had been #3 on the depth chart. Too bad for us though, our #1 was kicked off the team and our #2 was suspended for the season. Seems to be a patern: Derek Watson and Troy Hambrick were suspended from the USC.
