Honestly, I'm a Tech fan but don't give them THAT much credit on releasing Marcus. It took a LOT of outside pressure for them to make that decision.I think Marcus was gone even if there was no outside pressure. It had be be a tough decision because of michael Vick and all he has done for the school and I think thats what caused the little delay from VT's decision. If you think about Vt football it was Vick that realy put their team on the map. Marcus realy but VT and his brother in a bad situation and I'm sure they spoke with Michael before they announced their decision so he would understand why they had to do what they where doing.

the reason tapp will fall (unless his combine is great) is he's 6'1" and he's not really fast for a pass rushing DE (he's also light at 215). He's got good skills, but his naturals aren't stellar. He may even be better to bulk up and play at DT where height isn't as important and where he'd be very fast for the position. Since we need a DT and a DE, he'd be a good pickup and should be a 2nd or 3rd rounder. at DT he'd have time to adjusst ince we've got a decent 1/2 right now, and if he's instant impact or a good situational pass rusher, we've got a spot for immediate contribution there.

he's actually around 265 which is quite a bit different.

i brought up drafting tapp in another thread. and whoever called taft a "punk" has no idea what he is talking about. he is the epitome of what virgina tech wishes there players were, a hard worker, never gets into trouble, model citizen, etc.

215? definitely 265 as posted above

Im a Tapp fan, I just don't think he'll be able to be a force at the next level on DE at 265 when you are facing offensive tackles tipping the scale at over 300 lbs. I hope Im wrong, but he really does remind me of Corey Moore.

I hope Im wrong, but he really does remind me of Corey Moore.He may only be 265 but have you ever seen the legs on that guy. I would agree that he needs to be around 285 to hold up in the NFL.

I agree. I don't think Tapp will be that great of a DE. He reminds a lot like David Pollack coming out of UGA last year. Could play end, but would be much better at the OLB position.
