Being a Dallas fan I definitely think they need a cyclone, and their secondary needs some serious depth. This would be near perfect. Perfect would be if they drafted KO in the first round too.

Gary Gerba @PrimeTime2882

@ShanePHallam Wut DBs are you seeing that posses impact capabilities for next yr. Fluidity, physicality, smarts 2 pickup complex NFL scheme?

Shane P. Hallam @ShanePHallam Close

@PrimeTime2882 That's a lot to ask. Brandon Boykin and Leonard Johnson are two down here that fit that bill. Maybe Jamell Fleming

Iowa State has a couple of the better prospects in this game. Kelechi Osemele and Leonard Johnson should both be 2nd rounders. #NFLDraft

Mike Mayock said Mon he likes how physical Iowa St CB Leonard Johnson is. Seeing that on practice field today.

Josh Sanchez @jnsanchez Reply Retweet Favorite · Open

Absolutely love the physicality shown by Leonard Johnson. Tough kid that is a sure thing top 50 pick.

#IowaSt CB Leonard Johnson did a nice job in shedding blocks in WR vs. DB 1 on 1 blocking. Stood up bigger opposition, used leverage.

#3DIA @NEPD_Loyko on top DB other than Jenkins "there are a lot of good CB's but one of the best has been Leonard Johnson"

Watching db drills really like what i have seen from leonard johnson looks explosive

Only if they plan on playing him at guard.

I think everyone looking at KO plans on playing him at OG right now.

He has some flexibility to maybe play RT if needed, but pretty much everyone sees him inside.

I agree, but there are a lot of posters on here that keep bringing him up as a tackle. He will struggle with the speed on the edge in the NFL. I want him to succeed even if it affects how high he is picked. Guards generally aren't drafted as high as tackles. Doubtful that anyone will pick him in the first round to play guard.

**BCClone** · 01-25-2012, 05:22 PM

As much as this would bother me, but I think the vikes would be a good fit for LJ. They need anything in the backfield and a guy who can take care of himself againist a receiver and read run would be a giant + for them. He would probably see the field immediately. Then again, any DB for the vikes would see the field immediately.

EDIT: I was thinking with a second or early third round pick here.

That's what I was hoping for, they started the Oline rebuilding project last year, now they need to finish it. Ko might be a reach with their first rounder though.

It'd be cool (for me) to have him go to the Texans. Tim Dobbins and LJ on the same team! It'd be Cyclone Power in H-town (especially if they could get Sage back)!

It's the next-best all-star game. Last year, Karl Klug and Ryan Donahue both played in it. Both were starters this year for their teams, and Klug led the Titans in sacks as a rookie. Marvin Austin also played last year, and he was a guy who was considered 1st-round material for a very long time (he ended up being a 2nd rounder). Bradley Fletcher (started at corner in each of his 3 seasons for the Rams) is a past participant, as is Rodger Saffold (who was nearly a first-round pick last spring).

The point being that the top players at the Shrine Bowl are often just as good or better than many of the players at the Senior Bowl. The top guys at the Senior Bowl are the top guys in the senior class, period. It's the depth of talent that separates the two games.

LJ come to the Vikings please, you too KO. And Blackmon if you are out there you can come too.

KO's draft stock is falling. I won't be surprised if he doesn't go until the 3rd/4th round.
