They said he looked great at 237! If he can add on just another 5-10 lbs while keeping his speed, Damn!!!!

He's already explosive, best first step I have seen in years. He and Kerrigan are who I want at our WILL. I honestly believe that if Von Miller goes off in the game like Brandon Graham did last year, I can see him move into the top 10. He's seems like he's pegged in the mid round from 11 with the Texans all the way to SD.

Kerrigan reminds me more of Graham from a height weight perspective. It will be fun to see how these guys do with those big OT fatties.

You are really seeing the difference in reports this year. EVERY one has a completely different thought on the QBs. This will be a good test year to see how good the "experts" really are.

Cal DE Cam Jordan was unblockable during am senior bowl practice
Taylor Price from 49ers.com says that Locker is looking a lot more comfortable today completing all his passes on 7-on-7 drills and getting praises from the Bengals coaching staff.

Also, Kerrigan CONTINUES to impress.
I've been watching Cam Jordan... the guy is amazing. I'm starting to think the Niners should take him if he is there.

They might.

But I'm starting to want Kerrigan and Jordan now. Those two are killing it right now.

I think that's a little misleading report. Two of Lockers snaps would've ended up as sacks.
Note on Von Miller:

Read a report yesterday that he was exclusively practicing with the LB group, and did not get a chance to rush against the OT's. The report seemed to infer that Miller is going to be pegged more as a 4-3 backer, and not a 3-4 OLB.

This may, or may not be true, but something I have been stating for some time. At 237, Miller is not matching the criteria of current 1st round 3-4 OLB's. If you look at the past three or four years, the target size for the 1st rounders at this position is about 20-25 pounds heavier. I have a hard time seeing a 237 pound 3-4 Will or Sam backer being drafted that high. It simply runs against the grain of what defenses are doing.

Now, are there guys at 240-245 pounds who are playing well as a 3-4 OLB? Sure. James Harrison is one for sure, but he was an undrafted free aagent. Teams are not using first rounders on undersized 3-4 edge rushers.

Yea I wish I was able to watch it so I can come up with my own analysis, but I gotta go with what others are reporting. All I really want to know is how Locker's passes are looking.

Sounds reasonable. I keep looking at Swilling, Jackson, Lathon and Green, all of whom were previous Fangio pass rushers. Von Miller doesn't look like them physically at all. Instead, Kerrigan and Graham from last year look the part.

Too bad as I would have loved to see Von Miller as DE against those fatties.

PS--Only Lathon was at 260. The rest of Fangio's pass rushers were between 240-250. Swilling-245, Jackson-242, Green-247 Hmmmmmm.... Could Von Miller fit?
