Title: ESPN's Interactive Mock NFL Draft
Post by: JVides on April 27, 2006, 01:33:35 pm
For those on these boards that watch even more football than I do:  How good is Manny Lawson from NC State?  The latest ESPN mock has him going to Miami with the 16th pick.  Any would be scouts out there with an opinion?

I like Manny Lawson quite a bit...great Senior Bowl, and he's probably in the small group of players whose stock went up after I watched all the combine film and read reports on his private workouts. Ridiculous athletic skills, and an excellent head for the game. I heard one personnel guy make a comment after interviewing Lawson that basically said (loose quote) "He'll make a great NFL pass rusher...and probably a good defensive coach some day."

I don't think he'll go to Miami at #16 though. I think (read: hope) he drops to #22 and becomes SF's second 1st round pick. That is where McShay has him mocked right now as well.

Stroke,

ESPN has SF taking Vernon Davis at # 6 and then picking up Jonathan Joseph at # 22

I saw that...McShay, who seems to be a lot more unbiased than Kiper (imo), has SF taking Lawson at #22. I don't want Johnathan Joseph there, so I hope McShay is accurate.

Vernon Davis and Manny Lawson...if SF can come out of the first round with that combination, I'll be one seriously happy fan.  ;D

It will release tomorrow...day before the draft. I wanted to release it earlier this week, but turning allllll those notes into a readable article has taken much more time than I anticipated.
