LVE doesn't have the instincts Urlacher did coming in. But he did get better the more he played. He just needs experience and and in a couple years could be a very good LB.

The Colts will get a WR and a CB in the first four picks. But there are some good CB's in this draft and some will fall. You could get maybe a Carlton Davis in the 3rd or a Perry Nicholson in the 6th.

I like Wynn better than Hernandez. Wynn can play three positions on the line and has good technique and big ole butt (means he can anchor and stop a bull rush in its tracks).

I think that, if anything, it's more likely at this point that both Wynn and Hernandez will be gone before #36 than it is that they'll both be there. I'd be happy with either one. I expect at least 5 OLs will go in the first round.

Not sure I'd take O'Neill early 2nd round--it sounds like some scouts STILL regard him as "a TE playing out of position" and I don't know how that would work long-term in the NFL. But a 6' 6" 300-plus kid who can run a 4.82 40 is certainly intriguing.

But I'm hoping by #36 the BPA may be a DB, WR, or maybe an LB if one drops out of the 1st round with all the QBs, OLs, etc. going in Round One.
And, with any luck, maybe B. Smith drops to #49, where IMO he might be a better value than any OL the Colts could draft at #36 (assuming Wynn and Hernandez are both gone by then).
