Ucla Safeties Taken In Draft

[eulessismore]

Did anyone notice that 2 UCLA safeties were taken in the NFL draft. I believe that was the position that Deloach was last coaching there. Here's what the analyst on Yahoo (Murphy?) had to say:

In the 5th round:

18 (153) New England Patriots

(from Tampa Bay) Matt Slater FS UCLA

Murphy: Slater is taken here primarily for his play on special teams. He's a demon on coverage units and could be one of the best gunners in the NFL over the early years of his career. He is the son of NFL Hall of Fame offensive tackle Jackie Slater. Matt played both defensive back and receiver in college.

In the 7th round:

42 (249) Washington Redskins Chris Horton S UCLA

Murphy: Horton gives the Redskins another option to look at in terms of safety prospects. He is kind of hit-or-miss at times on tape, but he is worth a look.

Horton sounds like a project, as 7th round picks might well be, but Slater sounds very good. I think that those 2 being picked speaks well of our new defensive coordinator.

Fantastic skins for DeLoach to hang on his office wall.

Flesh eater.

Under-rated...as always.

This stuff just makes me hungry for football, hard hitting feeding frenzy Defense!! I can't wait to see what Deloach has done by the beginning of the season.
