When asked who the "next big thing" will be from the 2013 draft class, CBS Sports' Pete Prisco answered with UCLA DL Datone Jones.
Prisco cited Jones' dominant Senior Bowl practices, even when facing Eric Fisher, as evidence. Jones did have a great week of drills and offers a lot of positional versatility in terms of rushing for the edge or inside. Still, he was caught hand fighting too much at UCLA, something that needs to change in order to succeed in the NFL.

An NFL scout told Brad Briggs that Purdue DT Kawann Short "doesn’t play as hard as you would like, not regularly."
"Now, there in the Senior Bowl, he played his a** off," the scout said. "Why did he play hard? Maybe it goes back to mentality. Are you that guy? You are rolling the dice with this kid but let me tell you, he is talented, real talented." The scout went on to add that Short can play across the defensive line but he needs to harness or heighten his motor.

Ya, its hard to say , because hes always been productive across the board, but i think i may of heard this once before.. Either way, i've never waivered in how high i have been on Short, and like the scout said, he is really talented, and thats why i got so angry when i seen idiots having him in the mid 2nd rd.. I've also been on record as saying, i'd take em over Sheldon Richardson.. I think he fits our system bettr and reminds me alot of Keith Hamilton, for his ability to not only make plays behind the line, but also against the run.. Kawaan Short is the real deal, and one fo about 5guys that i would be happy with at 19overall...
Upside has a lot to do with it. Floyd isnt even 21. Short is more than 3 years older than Floyd. Short is a 3 Down tackle can play both spots but I do agree with scouts who say he takes plays off. Its hard to compare him to a guy like Richardson who is a single gap only, traditional 3 Tech. They are nowhere near the same player. Short doesnt have the quick twitch gap shooting ability of Richardson. Richardson wont be the run defender like Short and is the more limited player scheme wise. Scouts just gravitate towards the gap shooters before the well rounded guys like Short.
Walterfootball's latest 4 round mock:
1st - Lane Johnson OT, Oklahoma
2nd - Xavier Rhodes CB, FSU
3rd - Kasheem Greene, LB Rutgers
4th - Jordan Hill, DT Penn St.
that's about as good as it gets for me..
That doesnt seem possible but I will take it. Johnson is 1 of the few guys I wouldnt mind outside of a Pass Rusher or a CB in the 1st. If we get Rhodes I really hope they call a more aggressive defense. I like the idea of Rhodes and Prince on the outside but u cant let them sit 10 yards off all day. Prince Rhodes, Hosley would be a quality top 3 CB's

Damn that would be an amazing draft for us. Throw in Baccari Rambo in the 3rd and ill be whistling dixie

I'd rather have Greene than Rambo in the 3rd, this team need some LBs..
The way we play the 3 safety set we gotta look at another safety, KP is slower by the day and I have zero faith in T2. At least we got Kiwi, Boley, Jq Williams, Herzlich, etc.
Even if we moved Kiwi back to DE we'd still have more depth at LB than depth
