    What do you guys think of him? I haven't heard a lot about him. He's a big guy at 6-6 270 or something like that. He's supposedly been turning some heads at the Senior Bowl practices. I know he had some knee surgery in 07, but I don't think It was major.

    I was just wondering what you guys thought of him and how you think he will translate to the pros.

    Love Kyle Moore. Not as flashy or well-known as his teammates but he led USC with 5 sacks this season. That's saying something. Every time I watched the Trojans play this year Moore always made a handful of plays.

    He's the perfect size to play OLB for us. I see him as a tremendous value pick in the 5th round. A developmental player who rotates in for a few snaps his rookie season but eventually starts. I hope he doesn't shoot up draft boards after the Senior Bowl and Combine. Mike Mayock was already talking about him on Tuesday.

    Kyle Moore had a sack and a couple pressures in the Senior Bowl. Cushing and Matthews did not. I'm just saying.

    Moore was the most impressive Trojan on the field from what I saw. I will watch it over and over and give you a better idea, but I was not impressed with Cushing at all.

    I think Moore is ideally suited for LDE in a 4-3. I don't see him as a LB/DE tweener.

    I agree about Cushing. He didn't impress in the game at all.

    IMO, the sleeper amongst the USC seniors is Kaluka Maiava. He had a really good Rose Bowl game and from what I heard he looked good in the East West game too.

    I don't know if Kyle Moore can play standing up or set the edge but this guy knows how to rush the QB. FWIW he had 9.5 TFL in 2008. Moore is 6-4 (almost 6-5) 265. Greg Ellis is 6-6 265.

    Maiava is a nice player too but at 6-0 232 isn't he too small to play ILB in a 3-4 defense?

    The guy that was really impressive in the Senior Bowl was Robert Ayers. I could see the Dolphins drafting Ayers or English in the 2nd round. However if they miss on both those guys I would keep an eye on Moore in the 5th.

    Find good football players first. Find good football players that are good for your system, second.

    I also agree with both you guys about Cushing.........He looks way to stiff and can't seem to change the direction he's running in very well.

    If he didn't play for USC i don't think anyone would be talking about him as a 1st day pick.

    Marcus Freeman did good things I heard. I haven't seen the game myself.
