2004 Rookie Draft Class

Linebackers

Name

INT

Karlos Dansby
Auburn

50	63	31	60
56	69	38	20
44	56	25	20

Outlook: Dansby is a playmaker at linebacker who is rock solid in both run defense and coverage.

Tecmo comparison: Seth Joyner

Name

INT

Teddy Lehman
Oklahoma

38	44	19	50
44	50	25	20
50	56	31	10
31	38	13	20

Outlook: Lehman possesses some elite skills but is unlikely to achieve his maximum potential. Still, he would be worth a late-round flier to see if he can fulfill his reasonable potential as a playmaking middle linebacker.

Tecmo comparison: Garth Jax

Name

INT

Daryl Smith
Georgia Tech

50	50	19	70
56	56	19	15
44	44	13	15

Outlook: Smith gets after the ball carrier with regularity and can make the occasional interception in pass coverage. He is the kind of serviceable linebacker every team needs, but will not reach stardom.

Tecmo comparison: Shane Conlan

Name

INT

Dontarrious Thomas
Auburn

38	38	13	60
44	44	13	20
31	31	13	20

Outlook: A teammate of Dansby's at Auburn, Thomas does not have the speed nor the instinct to perform adequately in the WTF. Selecting him would be a reach.

Tecmo comparison: Ray Berry

Name

INT

Gilbert Gardner
Purdue

31	44	13	70
38	50	13	20
25	38	13	10

Outlook: Gardner should be a worst-case scenario at linebacker, as he is unlikely to develop into a quality player. Draft with caution.

Tecmo comparison: Joe Mott

Name

INT

Marquis Cooper
Washington

38	38	13	60
44	44	13	15
31	31	13	25

Outlook: Cooper is the kind of guy who might bounce around on a practice squad for a little while and fade away making no impact. Or, he could be the next Tom Beer. You never know, really.

Tecmo comparison: Eric Hill

Name

INT

Caleb Miller
Arkansas

31	44	13	80
38	50	13	10
25	38	13	10

Outlook: Miller is a player who gets by on instinct rather than raw talent, and his lack of skill will see WTF teams exploit his presence should he ever make the field.

Tecmo comparison: Joe Kelly

Name

INT

Keyaron Fox
Georgia Tech

38	50	13	70
44	56	13	15
31	44	13	15

Outlook: Fox is a reasonable tackler who can hold down the fort at a linebacker position for a few seasons…just don't expect him to be a playmaker on your defense.

Tecmo comparison: Tracy Rocker

Name

INT

Landon Johnson
Purdue

44	50	19	60
50	56	25	25
38	44	13	15

Outlook: Johnson is a reasonable weakside linebacker who generally gets the job done. Again, as is the theme with this draft class, he isn't much of a difference maker, but unlike some of the others, Landon Johnson is a steady performer.

Tecmo comparison: Sam Mills

Name

INT

Demorrio Williams
Nebraska

44	50	25	70
50	56	31	20
38	44	19	10

Outlook: Williams is almost exactly the same kind of player as Landon Johnson, but is a little more seasoned in pass defense. He'll fill a gap on someone's defense, but stardom is not likely in the cards.

Tecmo comparison: Chris Martin

Name

INT

Niko Koutouvides
Purdue

31	38	13	70
38	44	13	20
25	31	13	10

Outlook: Koutouvides is yet another Purdue linebacker in this year's crop and is pretty much pegged as a career special teams ace. He won't contribute much on defense and hence is probably worth passing on in this draft.

Tecmo comparison: Dennis Gibson

Name

INT

Brandon Chillar
UCLA

44	44	13	60
50	50	13	20
38	38	13	20

Outlook: Chillar was a heavy hitter in college for UCLA and will be a late-round selection in the WTF.

Tecmo comparison: Andre Collins

Name

INT

Alex Lewis
Wisconsin

38	44	13	70
44	50	13	15
31	38	13	15

Outlook: Lewis is mediocre in every facet of the linebacking position. He could hold down a job for a couple seasons until a suitable replacement is found.

Tecmo comparison: Keith Delong

Name

INT

Charlie Anderson
Mississippi

31	38	13	80
38	44	13	10
25	31	13	10

Outlook: Bleh.

Tecmo comparison: Broderick Thomas

Name

INT

Derrick Pope
Alabama

38	38	13	70
44	44	19	10
31	31	13	20

Outlook: Pope put together a decent performance at the scouting combine but is unlikely to reach stardom as a pro player.

Tecmo comparison: Cliff Odom

Name

INT

Colby Bockwoldt
BYU

44	50	13	60
50	56	13	15
38	44	13	25

Outlook: Bockwoldt is a capable starter and could contribute to a WTF team if he stays healthy.

Tecmo comparison: David Griggs

Name

INT

D.J. Williams
Miami (Fla.)

56	56	25	60
63	63	31	15
50	50	19	25

Outlook: Williams seems to always be around the ball and is able to make plays in run defense. He is somewhat of a liability in pass coverage, but there are few better than Williams at patrolling the middle of the field.

Tecmo comparison: Percy Snow

Name

INT

Jonathan Vilma
Miami (Fla.)

56	69	38	70
63	75	44	10
50	63	31	20

Outlook: Vilma is an absolute beast of a tackler and can nearly always make the play when called upon. He has the speed to track down opposing ball carriers and the agility to play over the middle in pass coverage or to blitz the quarterback. Vilma is truly a franchise player at the linebacker position.

Tecmo comparison: Keith Millard
