Re: Darryl Tapp
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.

Re: Darryl Tapp
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.

Re: Darryl Tapp
I really thought Corey Moore would have made it in the NFL. God that guy was fast. He and Tapp have got to be similar to Dwight Freeney's size, right?

Re: Darryl Tapp
You'd think people would figure out that Freeney spins EVERY TIME.

Re: Darryl Tapp
Figuring it out and stopping it are two different things.

Re: Darryl Tapp
First off, Daryll Tapp is not a punk. Unless he has a lot of people fooled. Anybody following Big East/ACC football the last few years knows that Tapp is one of the quietest, hardest working players in the conference. Second, this year he was a finalist for the Lott trophy - an award based on personal character as well as excellence on the playing field. He also was a finalist for the Ted Hendricks award, which recognizes the top defensive lineman. Tapp has those intangible features we refer to as heart, determination, passion and pride. He wants to be the best. He pushes himself beyond what number crunching analyst convince themselves of what he should be capable of doing. Having said all that, I think coming out of college Corey Moore was better but since he got shot in the leg early in his career well never know what he was capable of.

Re: Darryl Tapp
The knock on a lot of guys coming into the NFL, especially at DE is that they are undersized. I think it's important to remember that these guys' bodies are still going through a physical maturation process. The weight will come in just a few short years. The point is knid of moot though because I don't think he'll be available in the second round. His merits are too noteworthy for teams to pass on him. I see him as a top 25 pick.

I kind of place Tapp in the same category with Corey Moore (drafted by the Ravens, never replicated college success in NFL), but maybe that is because they both went to VA Tech. I have not seen him play enough, or heard enough from the draft "experts" to pass judgement on him, but remember that Dwight Freeny was also an undersized DE from the Big East (well I guess Tech is now in the ACC) who has done alright for himself. Of course, if Tapp goes out and runs a 4.4 a la Freeny he will be long gone by the time the Skins pick.
