      Tolliver is going to become someone's UDFA diamond in the rough. He suffered because he was being thrown to in a badly run LSU offense with mediocre QBs.

        Agreed.

        I dont know if they failed drug tests or did bad in interviews
        Dude is 5'8 180 pounds of air. I think he needs to add 10 pounds and I to am surprised but, then again I'm kinda not. And if he has injury history I could see why teams would shy away from Noel although I was hoping SD would grab him. At his weight I think he can make a team if in the right situation.

        Loved him as a 4-3 DT, he is so fast and powerful getting off the line and into the opponents back field and he really makes life easy on the linebackers behind him, he commanded double teams pretty much all year which freed up Martez Wilson, Nate Bussey, and Ian Thomas to make plays.

        I'm sure there will be a bit of an adjustment period moving to a 3-4 but I think hes a great fit once he learns everything, like I said he is already used to occupying multiple blockers along the other teams OL and when you need him to he is capable of rushing the passer.

        He is just starting to realize his potential, I think he can become a lot better than her currently is, the amount of improvement he showed year to year and Illinois was very impressive and now getting into the NFL where he will have better coaching and an even better strength and conditioning program I think he can become one of the premiere DL in the NFL.
        Thanks for the review of him.

        That is my only concern of this kid. They got the top 3 DT in this years draft right after Marcel Darious and Nick Fairly and he was projected between 11-15. I think he has the talent to make a transition and talent wise he is probably the automatic starter just depends on how fast he can learn but, he's not completely oblivious to the 3-4 he's had some experience in it if I'm not mistaken.

          Yeah I think he'll be fine, he played outside at DE some at Illinois to and was effective, don't know that he has much 3-4 experience but he has shown me enough versatility to where I'm not concerned about him making the transition, if the lockout ends early enough to where he can go through training camp and preseason learning his new role he'll be fine, if it ends right before the season then he might have a bit bumpier go at it but either way I think hes going to be really good for you guys.

            This. It's tough to get overly excited about the NFL right now. By now, a lot of teams have already signed their UDFA's.

            The lockout is just flat out horrible.

              Not really sure about the Bills draft. 3 DBs and only one OL? No QB? I don't get it.

              All of our draft picks came from colleges from below the Mason Dixon line, too. Nobody from the Big 10, Pac 10, anything west or north at all. I don't really get it.

                Yup. It was a good 3 enjoyable days for the most part and now were back to this. They need to quit dicking around and get something done.

                And were teams able to sign UFDA's during the draft? I didn't know they could do that.

                Terrence Tolliver is a prototypical Charger wide out that they like. It'd be nice to land him.

                  why would the bears draft a qb? ok, if you're not sure about Cutler, most liked what they saw from Caleb Hanie. It just seems there were more pressing needs for us right now

                    Well Collins is awful so I'd assume hes gone, so Cutler is your #1, Hanie #2, and Enderle #3.

                    Of course I think Lefevour last year was a better prospect than Enderle is and Lefevour didn't survive training camp last year.

                      Im really happy with the pats draft, I know alot of fans wanted us to get a pass rusher, but imo its always best to go skills before need Solder will be a day one starter, dowling will really help our sub packages out, vereen will give us another aspect to our offense as a pass catcher and a solid runner, ridleys a change of pace for green-ellis, malletts either our qb of the future or trade value, cannons a huge steal imo he had late 1st-mid 2nd round grade on him, he could be a solid fit at rg.

                        John Clay's going to be a god awful NFL running back, so I'm not surprised about that one.

                          im curius why you think so, I saw him as a solid goal line back not much more than that though

                            I think his whole game is running people over, and I don't think he'll be able to do that effectively in the NFL. He might be a solid goal line back, you're right about that. Maybe in the mold of TJ Duckett. But that's about his ceiling, I think.

                              very good points, the only thing is would a team keep just a goal line back as one of their 53 spots. I guess it depends on how each team values a goal line back

                                Yeah, I bet you're right. It's just the name, man... John Clay. Seems like he was the best running back in college football for the past eight years. I watched him destroy so many teams and just thought he'd have an NFL future, but I'll defer to your analysis on him. Just seemed to me like some team would take a flier on him considering his college success.
