Sturdivant's draft stock dipped after missing five games this past season with a hamstring injury, but he is athletic enough to eventually become a starter at the next level. He is a smart football player that flows to the ball and shows a good closing burst. He gets in good position and shows the ability to anticipate routes in zone coverage, and he maintains speed in transition which makes him effective in man. He lacks the necessary bulk and strength to take on blockers and can is engulfed in phone booth situations too often. Sturdivant is likely a third round pick.

 

[Captain Matt]

Cool! Need and BPA wrapped up in one. Now we get McElroy in RD7 and we're rolling.

 

[Folster]

Good value in the 6th round.

sweet....... Quan's back!!!

 

[Zeno]

"Sturdivant was a terrific run-defending linebacker at North Carolina who also showed skill making plays in space. He does not possess great size for a middle linebacker at the next level, and he does not have the cover skills to be moved to the weak side. He may be best on the inside of a 3-4 alignment but will need time to develop and physically mature."

Can never have enough LBs in the 3-4. Sounds like he needs to hit the weight room.

Still have another pick in the 6th at #184. Lee Ziemba out of Auburn is BPA and need at OT.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

now get Jerell Powe at 184.

 

[D-Dogg]

Love it.

we are 10 picks away from our second Rd 6 pick...maybe?

 

[slinslin]

We have another 6th rounder

 

[Quagmire]

Quan meet John Lott

Virgil Green TE and Dwayne Harris WR are higher on the boards I am looking at!

we have 184 (6th) too

 

[Folster]

Yeah, but there is no way we take another TE, and we are good at receiver with Andre Roberts and Stephen Williams.

 

[Solar7]

I like this pick a lot. I'd be very happy if we went with McElroy, Beal, or Lawrence Guy in a few picks.

 

[desertdawg]

I like it.

 

[The Commish]

He sounds like a Gerald Hayes type.

[Dayman]

I like it. He'll probably be relegated to special teams at first, but he was a nice value pick. Also, this should mean the end of Reggie Nelson. I have no idea how that guy has hung around for so long.

 

[slinslin]

Yeah, but there is no way we take another TE, and we are good at receiver with Andre Roberts and Stephen Williams.

Why not another TE? We have Housler and Dray right now and that is it? A 3rd TE wouldn't hurt if it is the BPA. Afterall Yahoo rated him #64 if you can get him at #184...

 

[splitsecond]

Yeah, but there is no way we take another TE, and we are good at receiver with Andre Roberts and Stephen Williams.

Don't forget Komar. I would look for the 2nd year trio to make some big 2nd year improvements, as WR's usually do. Komar had superb hands in college, I think his strength and route running will catch up and he is going to be pretty damn good.

 

[Folster]

I think we'll snag McElroy here.

 

[Unsterblich856]

It's both refreshing and frustrating that every reach is followed up by great value. I like the pick.
