2. (50) Calais Campbell, DE/OLB

Blogged under Bloglockers, The Draft Report, Front Page, General by admin on Tuesday 27 May 2008 at 3:12 pm

There have been whispers that the Cardinals might try to convert Campbell into a outside linebacker but they should table that talk.  He is 6′7″, 280 pounds and he runs a 4.75 40 which is exceptional for a player his size.  He played in 37 games (25 starts) at Miami (Fla) and he made 169 tackles, had 38.5 tackles for a loss, had 19 sacks, broke up 14 passes, forced 6 fumbles and recovered 3 fumbles.  Campbell tends to be a little lazy sometimes and that might be why he dropped to late in the second round after grading out as a first round pick.  The coaches will have to be on his butt to help make Campbell reach his vast potential.  This was a good gamble for the Cardinals.
