Jarron gilbert rising on draft boards
8 replies
San Jose State defensive lineman Jarron Gilbert shined at his Pro Day with New York Jets coach Rex Ryan putting him through his paces during defensive line drills, according to Tony Pauline of SI.com.
Per the report, the 6-foot-5, 284-pounder registered a 4.76 in the 40-yard dash while running into a slight breeze. He also posted a 37-inch vertical leap and a 10-7 broad jump.

I say he goes in the 1st round, too many teams are looking for a 3 - 4 DE who can get to the QB.
That is a sick 40 time for a man of his size and strength.
#1 fanforum_veterani think beanie wells had a 10' 7" broad jump. that's pretty incredible for a DE. also, the 37 vert at being 6'5"
His athleticism was never in question, it was his instincts and run stuffing ability. He has the prototypical size for a 3-4 DE but would definitely have to be molded into being a system guy. On the other hand, he would be an above average pass rusher for the position.
This may sound stupid, but could he play SOLB?
124New MemberRex Ryan got a first hand look at my favorite defensive prospect in the entire 2009 NFL Draft.
I like. :up:

I highly doubt he's ever dropped into coverage in his life and I don't think it would be an easy transition for him. He's also best with his hand in the ground and would be best head up with the tackle. He's kind of a 43 DT / 34 DE prospect so I doubt he would fit as an OLB in the 34.
As for his draft status, I have him penciled in at #32 to Pittsburgh.
I'm just saying, we threw Holiday back there at one point, and Gilbert seems a lot more athletic.
Frayserforum_veteranI still can't get over the jumping out of the pool video. This kid has made himself a LOT of money. He is still a bit raw, but I could definitely see a team like Baltimore or Pittsburgh taking him in the 1st round. In fact, I think several 4-3 teams would be interested in him as well.
And hey, if the Jets want to take him at #17, sweet! That would certainly increase the chances of a guy like Maualuga falling to us. :up:
SCall13New MemberHe is an intriguing prospect. He is certainly a physical specimen. But I have doubts that he'll make it into the first round. It's not impossible. But I see him possibly falling into the mid- 2nd round. You never know though. We've all witnessed plenty of surprises on draft day. I mean, Wanny sure as hell surprised us a lot!!

Nah the fact that this years DE class is pretty weak he'll make round 1.
in my mock I forgot his name completely.
