Fresno State CB Kendrick Meadows comes off the board at #6 to the Giants. Best man to man CB in the draft. Should pair nice with Trumaine Johnson outside. Baker in the slot. Solid group.

MONARCHS DRAFT OHIO CB JOSH DARDEN


Image

ROUND 1 PICK 7
JOSH DARDEN
CB | OHIO
6'1" | 207 | 21
Darden was the top CB on a number of draft boards, number one player overall on a few. Some experts questioned the competition in the MAC. Three year starter at Ohio and led the team in interceptions the past two seasons. Great zone defender. Excellent speed. Above average strength for the position. Good tackler. Never injured. Could be used as a returner as well. Should be the #2 or #3 CB immediately.

Pick Grade: A

Combine Results
40 Yard Dash: 4.35 1st CB
Vert Jump: 36.9" 4th CB
Broad Jump: 10'6" 1st CB
Three Cone: 6.81 2nd CB
20 Yd Shuttle: 4.07 2nd CB
Bench Press: 19 Reps 1st CB

Spoke with FSU QB Vaughan who dropped to NO at 27. Feels it is an ideal fit. Very excited to take over for Brees. No regrets about London situation. Knew Dallas wasn't moving up for him.

MONARCHS DRAFT SYRACUSE OT JA'QUAN LAMB


Image

ROUND 2 PICK 7
JA'QUAN LAMB
OT | SYRACUSE
6'8" | 326 | 22
With their second pick in the second round the Monarchs took Ja'Quan Lamb from Syracuse. If you were to make a LT in a lab he would probably look a lot like Lamb. Huge, powerful blocker with a mean streak. Moves well for his size and can handle speed and power rushers. Has missed some time with injuries while at Syracuse.

Pick Grade: A

Combine Results
40 Yard Dash: 5.30 28th OT
Vert Jump: 27.4" 9th OT
Broad Jump: 10'1" 3rd OT
Three Cone: 7.67 15th OT
20 Yd Shuttle: 4.77 15th OT
Bench Press: 37 Reps 5th OT

MONARCHS DRAFT SOUTH CAROLINA DB JASON IRVING


Image

ROUND 2 PICK 27
JASON IRVING
DB | SOUTH CAROLINA
5'10" | 208 | 22
With yet another second round pick the Monarchs chose defensive back Jason Irving from South Carolina. Irving played both safety positions, cornerback and some nickle linebacker for the Gamecocks. He is good in zone coverages and is a solid tackler who packs a punch. Solid speed for a safety as well.

Pick Grade: A

Combine Results
40 Yard Dash: 4.49 2nd FS
Vert Jump: 31.4" 9th FS
Broad Jump: 9'8" 8th FS
Three Cone: 6.96 4th FS
20 Yd Shuttle: 4.20 4th FS
Bench Press: 20 reps 2nd FS

MONARCHS DRAFT VIRGINIA TECH OT ISAAC FREDERICK


Image

ROUND 3 PICK 1
ISAAC FREDERICK
OT | VIRGINIA TECH
6'7" | 321 | 21
Another big, strong offensive tackle here for the Monarchs and they're hoping to have found the anchors to their offensive line for a long time. Frederick is a solid run blocker and was very good against both speed and power pass rushers. He will have to work on his agility to be able to keep up with the elite speed rushers he will face.

Pick Grade: A

Combine Results
40 Yard Dash: 5.09 8th OT
Vert Jump: 25.0" 35th OT
Broad Jump: 9'6" 30th OT
Three Cone: 7.93 30th OT
20 Yd Shuttle: 5.00 29th OT
Bench Press: 36 Reps 6th OT
