That and he was probably crying from either losing out on first round money or from excitement of being drafted.

LOL. Good one.

Calias Campbell is huge value here, as well. Can he be coached??

Of course he can be coached. The issue is what you want to do with him. He's a pure 4-3 end who excels with good DT. He can definitely rush the passer, but he gained weight last season to try and help his draft stock. and our DT play was awful, thus causing his stats to drop off. However, he still got pressure and was really good at run stopping. At this weight he's a RE. I'm not sure he'll be good as a 3-4 end because that means he'll have to taken on multiple blockers.

[Mulli]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Calais Cambell??? BAD PICK

Why?

 

[Kel Varnsen]

Campbell. Wow.

 

[azsouthendzone]

Campbell is a good pickup. We need to have some depth behind BB and Chike.

 

[Redsz]

We pick Clais Campbell

 

[WildBB]

marcus Harrison or Sims would be dark horses. I think we can find a rush backer in the 3rd. If so you probobly need your horse here.

TRADE DOWN, IF POSS.

Strengths: Massive DE prospect; unusually tall with very good build, enormous arms (35.6 inches) and bigger-than-average hands (9.4 inches). Displays good initial quickness for his size, can beat blockers to the point of attack and can make plays in the backfield. Plays with decent leverage for a player his height, shows good lower body strength and is capable of holding his own when teams run at him. Has above-average upper body strength, extends arms once in position and flashes the ability to shed blocks quickly. Takes sound angles to the ball, plays with a good motor when fresh and makes plays in pursuit. Wraps up upon contact, shows good body control in space and is an adequate open field tackler that flashes the ability to jar the ball loose. Plays with a mean streak, takes the shortest path to the quarterback and flashes the ability to push tackles back into the quarterbacks' laps. Changes directions well for such a taller DE, runs line stunts well and flashes effective swim and rip move when he shoots inside. Shows adequate awareness and generally does a nice job of sniffing out screens. Doesn't always get hands up when isn't going to get to the quarterback but jumps fairly well and has very long arms so can make it difficult for the quarterback to find a passing window.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal top-end speed and is going to have a harder time turning the corner at the NFL level. Doesn't have elite closing speed and is step slow getting to the quarterback at times. Doesn't always get great hand placement and isn't fast enough to recover in time to get to the quarterback when offensive tackles are able to lock onto him. High-center of gravity makes it difficult to get under offensive linemen's pads and struggles to anchor against double teams. Occasionally gets caught too far upfield and is vulnerable to draws. Appears to wear down late in games and needs to work on endurance.

Overall: Miami red-shirted Campbell during his true freshman season in 2004 and he started one of the 12 games he appeared in during the 2005 season. He started 12 of the 13 games he appeared in during the 2006 season finishing with 80 tackles including 20 tackles-for-loss. Campbell also recorded 10.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and three pass breakups that year. He started the 11 games he appeared in during the 2007 season finishing with 50 total tackles including 30 unassisted tackles and 12.5 tackles-for loss. Campbell also recorded six sacks, an interception, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and two pass breakups last year.

Not sure about this one boys.....
