A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that "multiple teams" have a fourth-round grade on Maryland LT Bruce Campbell, despite his awesome Combine.
Another source described Campbell's 2009 play on film as "terrible." It's worth noting that during Campbell's post-workout interview Saturday, the NFL Network showed numerous clips of Campbell missing blocks and getting overpowered at the point of attack. NFLN's Mike Lombardi, a former Raiders employee, predicts Campbell will be drafted by Al Davis at No. 8 overall.

What did he do at the Combine that was so wonderful? He ran a fast forty. So? How many OTs have to run 40 yards real fast? He did well in the lifting portion. So? Upper body strength and endurance is not as important as technique, balance and good footwork.

I agree that Campbell has immense athleticism. However, he has had a slew of injuries, has very limited college experience and his technique is raw as a result. Remember Jason Smith last year? He had a great Combine, but was seen as a raw talent with lots of potential? Do you think St. Louis is happy they drafted him, since he couldn't even win the starting RT job, let alone not even sniff the LT spot?

Athleticism for an offensive lineman is a great thing, but ONLY if they have experience and technique to back it up. Campbell has neither of those. So while he may have first round athleticism, his overall body of work is more second round.

He will be drafted in the first round, no doubt. It only takes one senile old man living by the Pacific Ocean to fall in love with him and take him to make him a "first round talent". But in truth, he should not be a first round player.

Last year Lydon Murtha ran the fastest 40 of any offensive lineman (I believe it was a 4.87) and put up a respectable number of lifts. He was taken in the seventh round by Detroit, put on the PS, and later signed by Miami, and never started. He barely saw any playing time.

Campbell has 17 collegiate games to his credit, and a history of injuries that caused that few number of games. Murtha was the same way....great athlete, but couldn't stay healthy.

If you are going to invest millions of dollars in a player, you want him to be able to stay on the field. Campbell has not shown the ability to do that. Okung, however, has shown great durability and has solid technique. He won't be asked to run 40 yards, he needs to be able to move laterally, and be able to backpedal in balance. The forty has NOTHING to do with offensive linemen, or even most of the positions on the football field. That is why those results are discounted by so many coaches and scouts.

Isn't Jeff Backus both durable and technically sound? Don't we always bitch about him getting overpowered and being too slow? Granted he wasn't supposed to be a top 10 pick, but he was a consensus first rounder that year and the 3rd tackle taken. In front of him was Leonard Davis (now playing Guard) and Kenyatta Walker (was most recently on the Toronto Arganauts practice squad). Just sayin'

It's really odd, whenever I read about Okung at the combine I hear one of two extremes. Either people say he had an amazing combine or people say he was a flop.

I would not be surprised if we trade down later in the top 10 and draft an OT... maybe Bulaga for example and start him at LG or RT. I would also not be shocked if we drafted a RB in the second following that...something like.

1-OL Bulaga
2-RB Best
2-CB McCourty/Jackson

I am not endorsing this but would not be shocked either.
