Gresham is a great athlete...guy is 6'6, plays between 250 and 260, and runs a legit 4.5 but...

I love how the announcers talked about him being a good run blocker in the big 12 champ. game. The guy run blocks like a bull fighter. The only thing he is missing is his red cape. In fact if you notice on red zone plays from the 1 or 2 yard line, they always put him in motion to the side they are not going to run. He is definitely a liability there.

And he turns into skillet hands way too much. He had 10 TD's receiving this year, but he had another 6 he dropped that were right to him.

He is a better slot receiver than he is a TE.

I'm sure you like Gerald McCoy right? I cant believe this guy isnt being talked about. He gets so much penetration... What you think?

I happen to totally agree with you on this one, I thought Lindley would make it into one of these teams comfortably.

I love Gerald McCoy...IMO, he is a better overall DT than Tommie Harris when comparing them at the same point in their college careers. Tommie Harris was definitely faster, and he never was able to take over a game since he was rotated out every other series.

Due to injuries, The OU DTs were not rotated as much as other years. McCoy had a few games this year that he took over. He is not only stout against the run, but a darn fine pass rusher. He uses his hands and arms a lot better than Harris and seems stronger.

So how high you think he'll go? I say top 15, but noone seems to agree with me...

I haven't seen himr anked as number 1 DT anywhere. I havent seen him top 15 anywhere either....
bcdrama
McCoy is 6'3.5" 294 about 5.12 in the 40, he is solid in all phases, but he is not as explosive as Harris and he is VERY raw, he needs to diversify his moves and improve his technique. wink.gif
