You Can Probably Cross Lewan Off The Board

good, I never wanted his dumb arse anyway.

 

I'd still be fine taking him in the first, but if this incident means he falls into the 2nd and we can take him there, all the better! I would not shy away from drafting an OL because of a petty assault charge like this; to me it would be a desirable trait. Are there better options presenting themselves for us to draft? Sure, but Lewan is no slouch.

 

I don't think he's much different than adams to be very honest. I think he's ranked way to high. boards will adjust yet.

 

GB, what do you think of groy(sp?) from wisc. how abot the RB? your from that region.

 

Nailed it

I intentionally watched some Michigan games just to see what Devin Gardner and particularly Lewan were doing. For every pancake he got, he gave something back by committing penalties and mistakes that an all-world talent shouldn't make. He didn't dominate like I thought he should have.

Not to mention the cheap-shot stuff during and after plays(late hits, twisting facemasks in the pile after the whistle). Just re-sign Kemo and/or Colon back at vet minimum.

 

Not sure about the WI players this year, as I haven't watched many of their games. I'm especially clueless on their OL players this year. James White, their starting senior RB, might be a Mewelde Moore-type NFL player at best. Melvin Gordon, their sophomore-eligible (I think) non-starting RB, is pretty good. Quick, fast, aggressive and pretty strong, he's an early (1-2) round talent. Reminds me of McFadden out in Oakland, although a touch slower.

The WI guy I really like is Borland, their ILB, who was all over the field his four years there, and this year especially. He MAY be overmatched in the NFL, but he's definitely worth a look 4th round or later. They have a TE/HB in Pedersen that may do well in a Haley-led offense. Could be a guy that challenges Paulsen for a roster spot if taken in the right spot (round 6 or later).

 

I am aware of the LB Borland and TE Pedersen. Pedersen looks good as a TE/H-back type guy. overachiever hard nose type player. he gave Ohio St. fits. like a hines ward of TE's. that's what he puts me in the mind of. thanks for the info,GB and steel.

 

Not interested in Lewan he had a down year Michigan had problems running the ball and their QB got sacked a lot. We don't need another bust OT from the BIG 10 like Adams.
