    This guy is one of my favorite fits for this D in the whole draft. Great size, great run stuffer, good motor, athletic, and might even have starting potential. Probably the one guy I really want the Jets to grab in the 3-5 range if it's possible.

    What're the general thoughts on Ellis here? Is he a well thought of sleeper? Is he not? How does he get compared to Taylor? Anyone here seen alot of Hampton football?

    From what I have read (I have never seen Hampton fotball!)

    Pros: very big and strong and plays with a mean streak

    Cons: technique needs work and has character concerns (history of failed drugs tests and an assault charge)

    Summary: starter-calibre ability if his head is on straight.

    His stats have improved steadily throughut his career.

    Is projected to go in rounds 3-4.
