Blue Gates Mock Pt.2 (rounds 5-7)

Here are the last 3 picks along with audibles from my 2010 mock draft, these players compliment eachother when you look at my draft in it's entirety. In the end i would've hoped to aquire some great talent while improving team speed and depth where i could. Again your input whether good or bad is greatly appreciated.

 With the 143rd pick in the 2010 NFL Draft The Giants select:      KENNY ALFRED (C) WASHINGTON STATE

Kenny Alfred is an impressive athlete who fires off the ball quickly and does a great job reaching targets away from his frame, Alfred possesses coordinated footwork and looks comfortable extending his arms into blocks and getting his feet around opposing linemen. He has great balance and footwork in the pass game and consistently keeps his head on a swivel. He does a nice job cleanly redirecting and working in tandem with his guards but can be slow to recognize stunts and blitzes inside. He moves his hands and feet in sync but he consistently allows himself to get jolted in a sense at the point of attack and needs to do a better job keeping his base down in pass protection. Alfred does a nice job gathering himself after the initial surge and regaining leverage inside. He snaps and steps quickly in the run game and consistently does a good job sealing defenders away from the ball. Alfred has to work on becoming more physical at the point of attack but possesses the athletic ability to chip at the line and reach targets the second level. He looks natural when asked get downfield, but he will occasionally overextend into blocks and get slipped on contact. Overall, he's a good athlete who does pretty well in the run game. He needs to learn to play with a more consistent base in pass protection, but he possesses the "skill set" (Reese's favorite 2 words) to eventually mature into a starting lineman at the next level. Should learn alot from O'Hara and be ready to take over when needs be, also plays guard.    AUDIBLE: ERIC OLSEN (G/C) NOTRE DAME

 With the 174th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft The Giants select:            DEJI KARIM (RB) SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

Deji Karim is the reason i didnt reach for any running back in the draft, this kid is a special talent and a consistent homerun hitter, I am confident that once this kid is brought in, it won't be long until he takes that 3rd RB spot from Ware, Brown and Johnson. At his pro day He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds, which would have tied him for second among tailbacks at the Scouting Combine.His vertical leap of 43 inches would have been first among all tailbacks, his broad jump of ten feet, three inches would have placed third, his 20-yard shuttle time of 4.05 seconds would have topped all tailbacks, his 6.67-second mark in the three-cone drill also would have been first, and his 19 reps in the 225-pound bench press would have been sixth among all tailbacks. So, basically, if Karim would have been present at the Underwear Olympics, he would have won several medals. The 5'11 210 lb sleeper back came in 3rd place for the Walter Payton award and posted 2,080 yrds (6.6 ypg) and 26 TD's in just two years. Need I say more. By the way, I would move up for him if it looks like he will not make it to this point.       AUDIBLE: RAFAEL PREIST (CB) TCU

With the 205th Pick in the 2010 NFL Draft The Giants select:              STEVENSON SYLVESTER (OLB) UTAH

An explosive athlete who displays the footwork and initial burst to quickly close on the ball underneath and make plays in pursuit, Sylvester runs well for the position and does a nice job dissecting plays in front of him. He showcases good instincts, consistently is able to find the ball and generates good power on contact as a tackler. He consistently brings his legs through the play. He does a nice job breaking down in space and is an efficient open-field tackler. He isn't powerful at the point of attack and is at his worst when asked to take on blocks inside. He is easily washed away from the ball and struggles to stack and shed. But he plays with a passion and flies around the field. Sylvester displays some natural change-of-directions skills and suddenness when asked to rush the passer and closes quickly once he gains a step. He demonstrates impressive recognition and closing ability in the pass game and does a nice job getting his hands on the ball. He gets a deep drop in coverage and looks a bit stiff when asked to turn and run but can cover ground quickly. He looks like a guy who could certainly carve out a niche as a weak-side/run-and-hit linebacker at the next level. In other words he is in the mold of a Michael Boley and thats why I drafted him to be Boley's back up so we can cut wilkinson. 263 tackles, 24.5 TFL, 9 sacks & 2 Int's in 4 years.   AUDIBLE: ZOLTAN MESKO (P) MICHIGAN/ JEREMY BOONE (P) PENN STATE
