THe Official 2014 Draft Thread [No Spoilers]

carolina trade up .. why not us?

 

we all know who you're talking about. actually quote the posts instead of making vague jokes.

 

Nothing left to write home about at OL or CB at this point so BPA from here on for me please. I will be rooting for Vinnie Sunseri in the 6th.

Go sit in the corner...you're supposed to know all these guys...you have failed us!

Id take a hard look at McCullers , NT from Tennesse or his teammate richardson at tackle

 

Finally a CB a decent prospect.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

Quick and agile and is aggressive jumping routes when he sees it. Can make spectacular plays look easy -- produced one of the most sensational highlight-reel plays of the season vs. Oregon when he acrobatically tipped the ball back into play to a teammate for an interception on the first play and closed the game with an interception of his own vs. Marcus Mariota to key a surprise upset. Outstanding pro day workout, posting a 4.43-second 40, 38 1/2-inch vertical jump and 6.95-second three-cone drill time, indicating good speed, agility and explosion.

WEAKNESSES

Very lean build. Tends to squat on routes. Lacks eye discipline to sort out run-pass reads -- is late to locate the ball and support the run. Benched in 2012 for lapses in coverage and needs to become more consistent recognizing/supporting the run and securing open-field tackles. Marginal physicality. Character will invite close scrutiny -- was arrested on suspicion of felony theft as an incoming freshman and released from UCLA program.

DRAFT PROJECTION

Rounds 6-7

BOTTOM LINE

A lean, leggy, underdeveloped press corner who has shown big-time flashes but must prove more consistent in coverage, a greater willingness to tackle and more maturity than he demonstrated early in his career to be given an opportunity to compete.

 

I think it's a small reach. Decent speed, some off field issues. Everything I have read had him going in 6/7 round.

 

there was better on the board ..

 

I think we pick up another CB today.

 

+1 I think there is greater value on the board, first pick I'm not thrilled about.
