With the 2010 NFL Draft still many weeks away, Indy Football Report Editor John Oehser takes a look at the NFL Scouting Combine, held in late February and early March at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis. Oehser spent four days at the combine, and in the coming days will continue a position-by-position look at the combine and the NFL Draft . . .
A lean time for a heavy position could come to an end in next month’s NFL Draft.
Defensive tackle, despite long being considered a premium draft-day position, lately rarely has seen the rarefied air of the top five selections of the NFL Draft.
According to some of the most prominent draft analysts that could be changing.
With the St. Louis Rams and Detroit Lions each needing the position and holding the No. 1 and 2 selections, respectively, in the April 22-24 2010 NFL Draft, and with Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska and Gerald McCoy of Oklahoma widely considered two of the top five players available, there is a possibility defensive tackle could go 1-2 this year.
That’s the projection of www.NFLDraftScout.com, and that service isn’t alone.
