Ya know what I don't understand about NFLDraftcountdown? It seems a great resource and everything about it but this really pisses me off..

Kai Parham, 5.03. 6'3", 256lbs
"Lacks top instincts, especially for a middle linebacker.."
"Has excellent size and a solid frame...An excellent natural athlete with good speed..."

Tim McGarigle, 4.72. 6'1", 242lbs
"Has excellent instincts..."
"Does not have the height and size you look for...Speed and quickness are only average...Not much upside"

So we've got a nice sized slow MLB with not very good instincts vs a good sized guy with good/okay pace with brilliant instincts. One has "not much upside" yet he would appear to have the better tool to work with. Faster and got the better natural instincts. I just don't get how a guy with 5.03 speed can have "good speed" and is a "natural athlete" yet a guy with a 4.7 speed "are only average".

I may be looking at this a bit angrily but I believe this a race issue. Tim McGarigle is white where as Parham is black. It seems, to me anyway, that black players get all the opportunities within this league. They maybe lacking in the actual tools they need such as instincts but as long as they are natural athletes, oh wait scrub that - not all of them are as the case above shows. Ok athletisism is more than speed but the game of football is more than just ****ing speed, too.

Both these guys went undrafted- if we're looking for speed I'm taking Tim. If we're going for playmakers, I'm taking Tim.

It's basically Brian Urlacher vs LaVar Arrington in terms of instincts vs speed. I think its a concensus pick.

Ravens | Team signs UDFA T. Moses
Sun, 30 Apr 2006 20:24:17 -0700

ScarletKnights.com reports the Baltimore Ravens have signed undrafted rookie free agent WR Tres Moses (Rutgers).
 
GhostZ- I went to MBA, graduated with Moses in 2001. He was at Vandy, and I thought he'd be drafted. Haven't heard where he went. Ingle Martin was also our year, and he went 5th round to the packers. Also, on the subject of our highschool in the NFL, Hunter Hillenmeyer, a LB for the Bears, went to MBA, a couple of years above me. All good guys, glad to see them making it.
 
No Moses Osemwegie is the guy from MBA, went to Father Ryan and saw him dominate often. He will at least be practice squad somewhere
