In the 3-4 defense like
the one employed by
Cleveland, play-making LBs
are of paramount
importance. Unfortunately
for Romeo Crennel, he
didn't have play-making
LBs on his squad in 2005.
He brought in former
Patriot mate Willie
McGinest to mentor the
corps, then spent three of
his first four draft
selections on LBs with
great athleticism,
starting with Kamerion
Wimbley, a DE during
his days at Florida State
who is projected to OLB in
the NFL and likely to put
up numbers comparable to
Shawne Merriman of San
Diego and DeMarcus Ware of
Dallas, who also made
similar positional
transitions. D'Qwell
Jackson is a tackling
machine with good
instincts, evident by his
ACC-leading numbers in
2005. Leon Williams
is the weakest of the
trio, but also the
fastest. Better WR value
could've been had with the
#78 pick, but Cleveland is
hoping Travis Wilson
can provide adequate depth
for a thin WR corps. And
speaking of depth, RB
Jerome Harrison should
be able to provide it.
Despite his lack of size
and strength, Harrison set
numerous records during
his collegiate career,
including the school
record for most yards in a
single and the PAC-10
record for most
consecutive 100+ yard
games. CB DeMario
Minter was a steal in
round five, a good athlete
with decent size and
exceptional speed. |
