Comments:
Wimbley was a good pick as he can penetrate through the line and get into the backfield to either tackle for a loss or sack the quarterback.  He’ll be learning his position from Willie McGinest, one of the better defenders of all time., so he a lot of things in place to succeed, but I doubt he has the endurance to be on the field for every snap, which isn’t always a bad thing as he’ll get some blow before getting back on the field and be a little bit more rested.

The only real drawback on Jackson is that he’s a little short, but so was Mike Singeltary and we all know how good of a career he had.  Jackson can get after the ball and covers a lot space.  Some ranked him as the best middle linebacker in the draft, and I can’t say I disagree.  His toughness and feel for the game stand out.

Wilson is tall and has the ability to score TDs, even though it didn’t show last season.  He’ll find the open spots.  Despite being big and athletic Williams can’t shed blockers enough to consistently be effective.  Sowells is one of those athletic versatile types that should have a long career in the NFL.

Will the Senior Bowl be more indicative of how Harrison will do or his two inconsistent seasons in Washington State?  Hopefully for the Browns and Harrison it’s the former.  But, considering his height (5’9”), it’ll be tough to get any consistent touches anywhere.  Minter has some talent and did put up solid numbers at Georgia, but is he quick enough to succeed at this level?

Vickers is a good blocker and can catch out of the backfield.  He won’t get many plays, but when he does, he should make them count. Oshinowo is nothing more than backup material, in my opinion.  Same can be said for Hamilton, but that’s why they’re late round picks.
