I think we should take a hard look at the other malcolm brown RB Texas he asa late rnd pick up could be great back up to Deangelo until bell returns. Langeford is my first priority but I think he may go late rnd 3 and if he falls to us in rnd 3 we just have many needs to take him there, 4th or 5th he would be a absolute steel.
 
I am intrigued by Kyle Emanuel of NDSU as a late-rounder

The kid looks decent. I like his form on tackles consistently wraps up. Seems to go to the ball well once he reads what is going on. Has much better closing speed than those around him. Goes in pursuit down the line well. Fights off blocks well.

Granted this is a highlight reel and he is playing against much weaker competition than he will see at the nfl level but he has some nice instincts and unlike many he is a solid tackler, and when possible he strips the ball. As to sacks it looks like the qbs would have been called for grounding on more than one play and he had some nice blocks of passes.

Kyle Emanuel is another interesting prospect. Dude has crazy stats but look at who he played against. Reading up on him I do see he has 16.5 TFL and 10 sacks in 8 games when he has played top 25 competition. Not sure who he was going against in those games but I guess that shows he did well against better college football teams.

Looking at last year's list, 6 of the 9 picks were visitors (and 4 out of our first 5 picks). They didn't invite Dri Archer in because they loved him so much that they tried to keep their interest hidden...
