What year is that RB?

 

[Shane]

What year is that RB?

[Dr. Jones]

NE should go with a CB or DT. Ellis makes sense to me.

 

[Southpaw]

Not a good pick for the Jets.

 

[Pariah]

Where did Rosey Colvin go this year?

 

[Assface]

[Dr. Jones]

NO FLIPPIN WAY DRC goes number 7. NE isn't that stupid.

Levi Jones, OT
Cincinnati Bengals

Career Statistics
GMs/GS: 84/79


Turns out Chad Johnson is not the only Bengal that has asked to be traded.
Former first-round pick Levi Jones recently asked the Bengals to trade him, though his issues have nothing to do with money. The offensive tackle has disagreements with Cincinnati's coaching staff.
As they did with Johnson, the Bengals told Jones they wouldn't trade him.
If Jones remains in Cincinnati, as the Bengals insist, he is not expected to attend the team's voluntary workouts. He will attend their mandatory functions, but he would like to be traded, a feeling he has voiced to the organization.

I'll bet NE trades with NO so the Saints can get Ellis. They would've taken that offer to the Chiefs in a second

Traded pick will end uo with Theodis or Cromartie at #10 and end up with another draft pick. Too freakin' smart.

 

[Mulli]

Saints to trade up with Pats to get Ellis. Per Clayton.

Strengths: A disruptive, penetrating interior defensive lineman. At his best in a one-gap scheme but has some versatility due to experience as a nose tackle and three-technique. He is extremely disruptive versus the run. Displays outstanding initial burst and wins most of his battles with first-step quickness. Shows outstanding body control and stays on his feet. Uses long arms to keep separation and does an excellent job of disengaging from blocks and keeping on the move. Exceptional technique; uses his hands effectively and his feet never stop moving. Recognition skills are very good and he's athletic enough to change directions and pursue once he penetrates the backfield. He consistently generates pressure as a pass rusher. Shows upper-echelon closing burst for his position and also does a good job of batting down passes once he realizes he's not getting to the QB. Plays with a great motor and works very hard on and off the field. Never gives up on a play and his effort is infectious.

Weaknesses: Undersized; lacks ideal height. Not an ideal fit for two-gap schemes. Durability has been of an issue; redshirted in 2003 due to injury that required surgery and missed three games in 2006 (Nebraska, Arizona and Washington State) due to right knee injury that required arthroscopic surgery.

Overall: Ellis arrived at USC in 2003 but took a medical redshirt year after suffering a midseason left ankle fracture that required surgery. In his first three active seasons (2004-'06), he appeared in 34 games and made 86 tackles (16 for losses) and nine sacks. As a senior in 2007, he started all 13 games at nose guard and collected 58 tackles (12.5 for losses), 8.5 sacks and seven pass breakups on his way to first team All-America honors. Ellis missed three games in '06 after tearing cartilage in his right knee, which required arthroscopic surgery. He also had fluid drained from the knee in '07 and missed several practices but no games. Ellis did not time out well at the combine but he is a great football player, nonetheless. He has bulked up to 309 pounds and can play NT and/or DT at the next level. Thanks to an outstanding combination of quickness, power, technique and effort, Ellis proved in college to be nearly unblockable one-on-one  even versus top talent at the Senior Bowl. Ellis will be valued as a top-10 pick by teams in search of a playmaking one-gap interior lineman.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Ellis is a S-T-U-D

 

[ThunderCard]

Wow Jacksonville just went from #26 to Baltimore's #8 ....

 

[Dr. Jones]

Mike Mayock is calling this draft perfectly....

 

[O]

Here comes the run on CB's.

 

[Mulli]

Wow Jacksonville just went from #26 to Baltimore's #8 ....

Wow

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

No CB's and only 1 OT gone. RM/JS looks like they will be there at 16,i hope.

 

[Southpaw]

At this point trading down is way too smart. The talent level starts getting very normal from here on out. Jax gets Harvey.

 

[Dr. Jones]

NE will be getting a CB at #10 is my guess.
