Tyler Johnstone, Oregon, Red flag, his knees. Tore his ACL the last game of 2013 season, then, I thought, was rushed back and re-tore the ACL the first day of fall camp. He is a little lighter that we would like, but could put on another 10-15 lbs. Has great length, and very good hands. Very quick with very good footwork, better strength that you might think. Is able to mirror the speed rusher, and still stand up to the bull rush. His biggest plus is his quickness, and technique. Would have to make sure his knees are sound, and this alone could drop him some in the draft. We have had good luck in the pass with players having health, and past health history. Have not watched him yet this year, but now think I will. You guys know I love the big uglies.
Another kid you might take a look at is Joe Haeg North Dakota State. Saw him play, by accident, a year ago, and read up on him a little. Needs to work on his strength, and technique, but seems to have everything else needed to play in the NFL. Probably will go a couple of round later.
