Looks like the Bear had a rough practice, the next one below is for you Con.

Thanks.
Hunt is a guy who is intriguing because of his speed and first step. He is a little short IIRC. I have seen him vary from 6'2'' to 6' so that I'd like to see. He has long arms no matter what and he can flat out explode up field. He can be a little soft in the run game, but that is common with guys like him - lighter DE.
I will be curious to see how he does, and what he does. I haven't looked yet but I hope he is at the Senior Bowl. Seeing him live and at different positions would be nice. Also, getting a legit height and weight would be a benefit also. -
Phillip hunt is a very interesting prospect

You going to do the draft day chat again this year Boomer? Really enjoyed it last year and want to put my name in the hat again if you are. -

Yeah it was a lot of fun. But it was a weird day for me by the end of it all.
I also remember that day I found out a friend of mine had died. Bit surreal to say the least. -

I've had a friend die whilst I was one room away. He had an epilleptic seizure in the bathtub and drowned. We were supposed to be going out that night. He was getting cleaned up first, then it would have been my turn.
One guy I knew I saw get sucked in by a train as it went by and needless to say that was the end for him. Sad stuff for sure, but it happens to people every day all over the world.
I will say that this time of year is one of my favorites, as I get to expound on my endless hours of watching the game. It is a lot of fun regardless of what happens. -
Before we get whacked by the mods for being off topic, the Draft is definitely my favorite time of the year. I can remember as a kid dying for my draft report from Dolphins digest so I could pour over all the info and take it all in. -
I definitely like the internet age much more than the paper back version. -
Brandon Underwood is definitely one to watch. He's been getting hot over the last month or two and he's maintaining it.
-
I'm thinking, from what I gather, that Brandon Underwood, Dan Ellerbe, Mike Thomas, Manny Johnson, Jason Phillips, Ryan Palmer, Don Carey...and some of the OLs (Jamon Meredith, Jaimie Thomas, Seth Olsen) would be the guys I'd be interested in hearing more about.

Heres one guy I am looking forward to see play in the game. At 6'4 330 he could be a possible Nose Tackle prospect for us.
- Stillman (AL) DT Sammie Lee Hill… very good natural size, wide-body frame, flashed some quickness off the snap, had a nice spin move that would have led to a sack if it was a live drill, but later had a slight limp to his step due to a slightly strained left hamstring. -
-
I would just caution that we don't necessarily need a huge guy. A guy that is like 6'1" or 6'2" might do. Lance Moore is 5'9" and caugth 10 TDs for Drew Brees this year. Hines Ward is no bigger than 6'0" (probably smaller) and he's a TD machine.
Personally I think we need more than just the size in our WRs. We need more capability over there. We don't know what Camarillo will do with the knee, Bess so far is specialized, Ginn has been specialized, we need guys we can add to the 3- and 4-WR spreads...go some no-huddle, be aggressive and push the ball down the field. -
Plus I keep going back to what Sparano said after we lost to the Ravens. We want to continue to get bigger, stronger and better. -
-
That's the one. Lost his scholarship for being late to meetings and academic reasons. Dumb kid doing dumb things.

Jason Phillips I've seen a couple of times this season. It's a terrible year for MLB's, but he was one of the more impressive ones. He's ALWAYS around the football, 3 down linebacker, plays pass very well. Didn't make a lot of plays per se, but with Hughes flying around in front of him, he's flying around the 2nd level.
Ellerbe never really stands out for me when I watch the Bulldogs. And I think he's probably no more than 230lbs. Jamon Meredith is a very decent player. Very decent. Technically he's strong, good feet, although an odd kick slide. But he's balanced, he moves very well and he has good hands and you don't get round him. He looks like he could do with some work in the weight room, but I think he's very underrated.
