I thought it was rather thought provoking and thought I would share it with everyone here.

|6'1 - 185 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Dwight Lowery, CB, San Jose State
Lowery started his post high school career at a community college, then transferred to San Jose State. He claimed the starting cornerback job in the spring of 2006 and never looked back. He intercepted a school record nine passes, making three interceptions in one game -- another Spartan record. Following the season, he became the first San Jose State player to be named to an All American Team, making the AP third team roster. He followed this season with another stellar campaign in 2007, capping off the season with another All WAC First Team selection and more impressive, another All American Team selection. Lowery is very athletic, with good size. He is an intuitive player and may have the best skill sets of any defensive back in this year's draft class. He has uncanny field awareness and can stick with receivers. With very good hands for interceptions, he shows a second gear and also has good recovery speed (4.53-40). Lowery takes good angles and has the smarts and instincts to play zone coverage, he does not buy on play fakes. But he is a poor run supporter, needs to add strength and work on his tackling. Although he posses good speed, he did not show a real burst off the line. Lowery may be the best cornerback in the draft. The only concerns are his perceived lack of explosiveness and the level of competition. He has first round talent, but it all depends upon how he does in the post season and the Combine.

At first glance this armoire appears to be a closet or wardrobe in miniature, and indeed it is just such a thing; a wardrobe for your jewelry and accessories. However, there isn't really much that is "miniature" about it. Within it you will find plenty of space in which to keep even the largest collection organized and well-stored. Also, its subtly elegant and classic-meets-modern design makes it a versatile piece that can compliment and fit in with any décor.
To begin with you have a well-laid out top compartment where you can store your smaller, more delicate pieces. There's even a ring roll that is just as comfortable for your rings as being on your finger. A few other sub-compartments are perfect for storing bracelets, earrings, brooches and other such items. For the bulk of your collection of scarves, small purses and other sundry accessories there is a large central storage area behind the two middle doors. It really is like a portable closet for all of the little accoutrements you need before going out to face the day (or the night). There is another drawer beneath this for additional storage.
While most of your accessories will be fine in the larger sections of the armoire, your necklaces will need a special place of their own. The two side compartments on the armoire offer the perfect solution to this with an array of ten necklace hooks. If you're looking for an armoire with a unique appearance that can still match perfectly with any décor, this one should hit the spot perfectly.
