College Bowl Game Prospects

I assume you're referring to acting like he's been there before after the plays are over?

 

Washington is the anti-diva WR.

Real quiet and humble kid.

Grew up in rural Texas. Into hunting and fishing.

As the two above noted, maybe because he has been there so many times, he gets his td and finds the ref to hand the ball to.

I really like Washington more and more. Has great hands. Has a really good top gear.

I think ultimatey I will have him as a 1st round pick but wouldn' be surprised if he goes in the 2nd. He looks like a 4.45 guy to me but we will see how he runs at the combine and pro day.

It may just be the scheme, but I didn't really see him run anything more than go routes, slants and posts.

His RB like build may have some teams taking a pass on him in round 1.

Even if we lose Bryant, I'm not quite sure the Steelers will be looking at a WR even if he falls to the bottom of round 2. Not likely to be a Steeler but definitely a guy I will keep an eye on wherever he lands.

 

Washington has looked like the real deal in every game I've seen him play. I think he's easily a top 2 or 3 receiver in any draft. In fact, if he's the guy I think he is (which I'd need to confirm with more of a film breakdown) I'd probably take him over any receiver drafted in the past few years. He may not have the H/W/S of an elite prospect, but he gets separation, catches the ball, and then does something with the ball in his hands. IMO too many receivers are drafted high based on potential, and not actual play (see Perriman, Treadwell, etc). You know what you're getting in Washington. He will be a legit #1 receiver, even if he's not a physical clone of Julio Jones (again, if he's the guy I think he is based on watching him while watching games live - need to watch more film).

Rudolph... I like him a lot, but I don't see him as a can't miss guy. I'm not sure I see that steel-eyed killer instinct in him. There have been times where he's looked a bit down or tentative. In particular, I'm thinking of a game earlier this year - maybe vs. K State? - where he didn't seem himself until it was too late. There were other Rudolph games from previous seasons that I had watched back when the Ben retirement talk was going on. Some gave me a wow vibe, but others really didn't.

 

Rudolph is inconsisent and only has average arm strength. For those reasons I think he is a bottom half 1st round pick.

Like Ben, when he is on, he is jaw dropping. Watch his visit to Heinz Field this year vs Pitt. Jaw dropping.

When he is off, it'- often a clunket. K-State was a bad outing but he really turned it on in the 4th quarter to lead a near miraculous comeback. He also played quite poorly against TCU.

QBs outside the Top 10 overall usually have some bad flaws, or else they would be going Top 10.

I wouldn' trade up too far to get him, but if he falls past 22, I atleast start taking a good look at the possibility.

 

Cotton Bowl game tonight.

USC vs Ohio State.

Lots of prospects in this one.

Sam Darnold
Ronald Jones
Deontay Burnett
Uchenna Nwosu
Chris Hawkins

Billy Price
Tyquan Lewis
Sam Hubbard
JT Barrett
Denzel Ward
Damon Webb
Jamarcus Jones

 

Forgot to add him above but:

Jerome Baker, ILB, Ohio St

Should flash lots tonight.

 

Dezel Ward choosing not to play.

Damon Webb with a nice fumble recovery and return.

Darnold looking sharp early.

 

Damon Webb with a beautiful pick 6 against Darnold.

Webb - a potential FS option?

 

I' actually surprised how little buzz there is for Allen on this board and amongst Steeler nation.

Tells me alot of people know alot about him and aren't impressed.

 

As good as Chubb and Michel are, I think Anderson may project best to the NFL game.

 

Wasn’t aware of the injury history. That could be limiting depending on what the injuries are, and how much risk there is of recurrence. Bad fumble by Michel as I’m writing this.

 

Was looking forward to see him against a good defense. Pretty much a non factor. He looked really slow. I had him as a 1st round TE but now I'm questioning that.

Will have to go back and look at him vs other capable defenses.
