Special thanks to blog reader "Nick" for the heads up on a link to Draft Countdown's Scott Wright discussing Jean Sifrin's changes in the NFL draft. The mention of Sifrin is about minute 52 in this podcast.

A lot of high-priced NFL Draft commentators are going to be wrong about Sifrin, because they'll only look at his tape and stats. They won't realize Sifrin had essentially no summer camp before he started playing.

With more reps at his position and more coaching, his blocking and pass catching have big upsides. If he goes 5th round or below, he'll be a steal for some NFL team.
