Suddenly I like Kiper a lot more. Personally I prefer Cam Jordan - I think he's just a solid, safe pick - but Watt and Ponder would make me smile.

Eh....not overly thrilled. Cam Jordan & Lake Locker would thrill me though, BIG TIME!

JJ Watt:

Strengths
Hard-working player with great size and surprising athleticism for the position. Exhibits raw natural strength and is able to drive blockers into the backfield. Has tremendous explosion and is generally the first defensive lineman out of his stance and into the opponent. He uses this combination to get players off balance and then finishes them off with outstanding use of hands and pass-rush technique. He utilizes a variety of inside and outside moves including arm overs, rips, push-pulls, spins, swims, clubs, etc. Can dip his shoulder and turn the edge as a pass rusher. Has the ability to finish when he gets to the QB. Has the long arms to knock balls down at the LOS. Watt is a relentless player who never gives up on a play and shows excellent conditioning without wearing down late in the games. As a run defender, he uses his strength at the POA to hold the edge, finds the ball, and can then stack and shed to make the play. Shows good straight-line speed to pursue the play and track down ball-carriers. Shows good instincts and consistently works hard to improve. Versatile player who could line up at a number of positions on the line and be productive. Valuable special teamer with four career blocked kicks. Well-respected player on and off the field. Natural leader and A+ character.
Weaknesses
Not nearly as athletic as some of the other DEs in this draft class, and only has two full years of experience playing DE at the collegiate level. Still learning to refine his technique as many of his plays are a result of his wrecking-ball type of play on the field, just overpowering and outworking the opponent. Needs to show more discipline on the field. Will occasionally bite on misdirection. Can get upfield too quickly, opening holes underneath for ball-carriers.
Projection
Watt is going to be a coveted player come April as his work ethic, production, versatility, and character all should weigh highly in his being one of the first DEs selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. He's probably the top 5-tech prospect in this draft, and his ability to play a number of positions on the DL in a variety of schemes will only help his cause. #DBWH

I'm not sure how Dallas will get him. Will they really take a center at #9? Maybe they plan to trade down and then take him but such trades are never guaranteed.

Nevertheless, it sounds more like a want then a prediction, and anyone that WANTS to join the Cowboys is 2's in my book (as opposed to aces). I mean who was the last Cowboy we had? Brandon Noble?

Who now does football talk every friday during the season on DC101. AND lives in Philly. LOL. I think it would be more of a 7-2 off suit if we are referring to cards.
