    Notes: The NFL has reduced the amount of time to make each pick in the first round from 15 minutes to 10.
    This year, the prospective draftees are permitted to select their own "Walk up" music. That should be interesting!

    The Houston Texans are on the clock.

    Ford's scouting report for anyone interested
    Sure makes it seem likely he'll wind up playing OLB

    So what position is our biggest need? We drafted cummings last year to play fs. I would say wr and guard and then cb and an actual 3-4 end.

    Manzel has a TON of upside. But outside of that they got the 1st player they wanted with Gilbert AND gained a 1st rounder to boot. That's a pretty good start

    I agree with Ray Lewis' assessment. Johnny Football better learn to slide in the NFL. I'm not taking anything away from his mad skills but if he tries too much of that running around stuff he will get his clock thoroughly cleaned.

    As a player, Ford is a pass rusher first. He is very quick off the ball, with an explosive first step. He stays low and knows how to use his hands. He has the snap and power through his hips to bull-rush and the quick feet, body control, and flexibility to be effective with moves and countermoves. He shows an excellent burst off of blocks to close to the quarterback. He consistently shows he can dip his shoulder and get under a blocker.

    Ford can be inconsistent against the run. He lacks natural size and bulk, and at times, can be slow to get off the blocks of big lineman. He is instinctive and quick to find the ball but can be over powered. He is better when he uses his athleticism to slip blocks and run to the ball. As a pursuit player, he is very good because he consistently takes good angles, is a top competitor, and has speed.

    Ford will be best as a 3-4 outside linebacker in the NFL. He has played on his feet in the past and has shown he can drop into coverage. Playing that position, he can still use his pass-rushing skills to his advantage. There are some 4-3 clubs that will like him, but I don't think he can be an every-down player playing as a 4-3 defensive end. He just won't be able to hold up versus the run at a top level.
    It sounds like he can help our pass rush and our pass coverage. He will need to get stronger and bigger and he can do that. We might not want to use him in obvious run situations, but that doesn't happen a lot against Manning and Rivers. Overall, this is a very positive assessment.

    Vikings take Teddy Bridgewater. He will be running for his life in the NFC North. (Jared Allen, Ndamakong Suh, Clay Matthews)
