With the draft just over 2 months away think of the team you think could be the most successful. I would run a west coast style system with zone blocking schemes for the run. On defense I would run a base 4-3, aggressive system that implements mainly man-to-man coverage with a little bit of zone blitzes.
QB-Colt Brennan 6'2 190 Hawaii-I think he has the most accurate arm of the draft and is used to getting the ball out fast. He doesn't have the strongest arm, but I think in the west coast system is the only one he could thrive in.
TB-Darren McFadden 6'2 217 Arkansas-No surprises here. He's an absolute monster.
HB-TaShard Choice 5'10 210 Georgia Tech-He is the type of runner who isn't a burner, but knows how to use his speed.
FB-Peyton Hillis 6'2 240 Arkansas-Versatile Fullback.
TE-Martin Rucker 6'6 255 Missouri-Big target, perfect fit for the West Coast style passing attack.
WR-DeSean Jackson 6'0 175 California-Fast Wide out that knows how to run routes.
WR-James Hardy 6'7 220 Indiana-Huge Target, great fit in the west coast.
WR-Adarius Bowman 6'4 225 Oklahoma State-This is another big target, also a good blocker.
WR-Davone Bess 5'10 195 Hawaii (KR)-Really here because of his relationship with Brennan.
LT-Ryan Clady 6'6 317 Boise State-Very athletic pass blocker.
LG-Oniel Cousins 6'4 305 UTEP-He was probably the best lineman at the senior bowl. Projects as a Guard in the pros.
C-John Sullivan 6'3 290 Notre Dame-Smart, agile center that can run the offensive line.
RG-Branden Albert 6'7 325 Virginia Tech-Strong, roadgrader.
RT-Gosder Cherilus 6'7 318 Boston College-If this guy can lock-out, the game is over.
LE-Calais Campbell 6'8 280 Miami-I know he is a surprise over Chris Long, but Long reminds me too much like Justin Smith and unable to rush the passer.
RE-Vernon Gholston 6'4 265 Ohio State-Freak of nature
NG-Sedrick Ellis 6'0 308 USC-Another Freak of nature
UT-Kentwan Balmer 6'4 307 North Carolina-And yet another freak of nature
SLB-Quentin Groves 6'3 255 Auburn-This guy would be used primarily as a blitzer. Really good at getting after the QB.
MLB-J Leman 6'2 235 Illinois-He might be the most instinctive linebacker in the draft.
WLB-Keith Rivers 6'2 236 USC-He is the best athlete at linebacker.
CB-Antoine Cason 6'1 185 Arizona-Best Man-To-Man cornerback in the draft, will slide because lack of timed speed.
CB-Leodis McKelvin 5'11 195 Troy-He can flat out fly, and Troy's defensive track record is REALLY good.
CB-Mike Jenkins 6'0 200 South Florida-He is a good corner, not overly instinctive, or fast but will get the job done.
FS-Reggie Smith 6'0 195 Oklahoma(PR)-Probably should be a cornerback
SS-Kenny Phillips 6'2 210 Miami-Look at the U's track record for safeties.
K-Brandon Coutu 6'0 200 Georgia-Hopefully he's only needed for Extra Points.
P-Kevin Soflkiancs 5'10 185 Baldwin-Wallace-Ok,ok,ok I admit it. This is a homer pick, I go to Baldwin-Wallace and this kid is a 3 year All-American and averaged 44 yards per punt. I would take my chances on him
