re: How many 1st day picks this year?

people saying no about Byrd, need to think about
A) the other possible receivers coming out this year
B) look at receivers drafted previously
It has less to do with production than it does with potential. Byrd will definitely be a 1st day pick unless he gets hurt. If his production goes up, i imagine his combine numbers will be good enough to make him a late 1st early 2nd projection.

seniors
big herm- first round. he'l have to prove his weight wont be an issue, but the NFL loves the way he mauls people
byrd- needs to boost his stats a bit. i know hes been hurt and has a green qb, but needs to keep getting into the endzone. hes def got first day potential, everyone says hes the fastest on the team not named trindon-- he just needs to show it on the field, i dont see him torching DBs like his 40 time would indicate. a monster 40 time would get him in the first day
tyson- first round lock is he stays healthy. hes a perfect 3-4 DE. hes stout against the run, and can get pressure on the qb. first tiger off the board. im thinking top10
darry- im a huge darry guy- but hes always hurt. our defense is 10X better with darry in the middle, but isnt consistant enough to warrant a high pick. first day talent? yes. first day pick? no
juniors
chuck scott- as well as hes played, the most important number for his will be his 40 time. <4.5 and hes in the first rd. >4.6, and hes in the 3-4 rounds.
black
lafell- has all skills needed. he looked shaky at the beginning of last season(v-tech not withstanding) but fixed all the kinks by the end of the year. playing great so far, 1st day guy if he goes. i dont know what he does
RJF- ive been underwhelmed by him so far. if he wasnt hyped as the next dorsey, you wouldnt know who he is. he proves how outstanding dorsey was. needs to play a whole lot better if he wants to leave early. he could get into the first day on hype and workouts alone, but the film says differently. if he doesnt play much better the rest of the way he should stay
just my .02

quote:noone on this planet thought vandy's chris williams would get into the first rd, but he did. pro scouts love ciron b/c hes great against the pass, and good against the run. black gets into the first rd if he goes early. the question will be, does he want to be the 3rd-4th OT off the board, or the 1st-2nd by waiting. i think he goes, not much else to prove at this point

How could you not think of the D-line? Tyson Jackson is projected top 10.

LaFell might, but I think it would be better for him to stay and play next year with a QB who can really light it up with him.
Brandon Lafell is actually 41 in receiving yards this year and considering about 21 of the guys above him are from non-BCS conferences his stats are fine.

Unless his numbers pick up significantly I think its a second round for him.

I love D Byrd, but for the last year, LSU fans have overrated his pro potential and severely underrated Lafell's. Lafell could be the 1st receiver taken in either the '09 or '10 draft. He's tall, fast, has an incredible vertical, runs great routes and gets open like nobody's business, and is a pretty physical run-blocker. He's probably the most complete WR in LSU history.

Hot Carl...I said LaFell is not a 1st rounder...YET. And after re-reading this topic I would say he is a 1st day guy, but I also think he does not leave early.

He mauled a couple of Auburn players on blocks.
Lafell and Bowe are two of the best run blocking WRs I've seen.

I was mainly pointing out that Byrd's bread and butter is a deep threat.
As far as overrating and underrating...I think last year it wasnt a question as to who was a more reliable receiver for us. Lafell had some crippling drops throughout the season. However, this year he is a freak of nature that does everything. You would be hard pressed to find a better WR than him. He is on another planet right now.

Through the mid stretch of the season, but at the end of the season Lafell was solid.
When ED came back and took some pressure off he really settled in.

I hope not, we'll see.
