weneedLebron Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 What do you think about Rulon Davis? Rulon is a 6'5 280lb DE for Cal. Playing against UM tonight in the Emerald Bowl 8pm EST. Think he would be a good addition for our team? http://www.rulonthebeast.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aloysius Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Here's what I wrote about him in the Prospects to Watch thread: Rulon Davis, DE, #94 6'5", 282 lbs., 4.97 40 (e) Projected: UDFA Durability concerns, along with Rulon being older than the average prospect (he's 25), make him a late round/UDFA type. But if he can stay healthy, he could develop into a solid 3-4 DE. Could be a real sleeper. And here's an interesting article about Rulon's struggles staying healthy.

Guest Aloysius Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Been trying to key on Rulon Davis tonight (as well as 4-5 other Cal defenders). From what I've seen, Davis has marginal strength for a 3-4 DE. For the most part, he's been easily handled by one blocker on run downs. Maybe that could be corrected by a year spent in an NFL weight room, but I'm concerned that he may be maxed out physically - he's already 25 years old. However, I still see much of what made me impressed with Rulon in the first place: great athleticism for his size, as well as some solid pass-rushing skills. So I still think he could be a diamond in the rough for someone, possibly in a one-gap 3-4 scheme. He reminds me a lot of Leger Douzable, a UDFA who turned heads in Vikings camp last summer & is now a reserve for the Giants. I wouldn't mind seeing either of those guys make it onto our roster next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Btw, a great game for Zack Follet: 11 tackles (at least one for loss) and 2 sacks. He plays OLB in Cal's 3-4 scheme, but he'll likely move inside in the NFL. nfldraftscout projects he'll be selected in Round 3. If he drops due to poor workouts, I wouldn't mind seeing us take him in Round 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. T Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Rulon Davis, would look great in Brown and Orange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
