True that.  That's just OSU's usage of the tight end and has been for at least the last 10 years.  Players like Vannett and Heuerman would have had more production on teams like Iowa, Penn State or Wisconsin.

Facts, My issue is, Jeremy Ruckert is a whole different animal and I hope they feature him like he needs to be featured

If somehow/someway James Washington comes in measuring about 6'0.5-6'1, would that change anything for you, as we've talked a little about if he comes in under 5'11. 

It would impact his size grade slightly one way or the other but the impact on his overall grade would by minuscule.

Conor Sheehy | 4SR |  DOB: 11/28/94  | 6’3” 295e | Wisconsin
Position: Power Defensive End  |  Projection: Free Agent

Games Evaluated: BYU (2017), Utah State (2017)
Background: Wisconsin native. Three-star recruit according to ESPN. Personal Finance major. Played in 14 games played as a freshman. Started 6 of 13 games as a sophomore. Started 11 of 13 games missing 1 game to a broken wrist which he played through for two weeks as a junior. Voted a 2017 team captain. Started all 14 games played as a senior. Father played basketball at Wisconsin. Sister competed in crew at Duke. Accepted invitation to play in the 2018 East West Shrine Game.

Positives: Adequate height. Proportioned frame. Good height to weight ratio. Solid mass throughout his body with a good base in his hips and sturdy ankles. Active hands with good placement. Has a knack for swallowing ball carriers with his left arm and not letting them off the hook. Holds up when single blocked showing good effort and the ability to hold his ground. Strong work ethic and dedication to working on his technique. A no-nonsense leader by example who avoids the bright lights.

Negatives: Length looks to be below average. Lacks ideal foot quickness, speed and burst. Has a disconnect between his upper and lower body. Lacks bend. Noticeable stiffness which impairs his balance and puts him on the ground too often. Gets easily washed by double teams. Too often lets plays go by right around him. His range of impact is below average and does not impact enough plays out of his direct area. An ineffective pass rusher due to athletic limitations. Will turn 24 during his first NFL season.

Outlook: A sturdy run-stopper with above-average technique but limited athleticism, range, explosiveness and size. The epitome of the type of player Wisconsin likes to develop and typically maximize. Sheehy has ideal football character and some positive qualities that will endear him to football people but comes up short in too many areas.

Marcell Frazier | 5SR |  DOB: NA  | 6’4” 265e | Missouri

Position: RUSH  |  Projection: Free Agent

Games Evaluated: Auburn (2017), Missouri State (2017), Kentucky (2017)

Background: Portland, Oregon native. Three-star recruit according to 247Sports. Earned his degree in Sociology and has worked on his master’s degree. Committed to Idaho in late 2011. Signed UNLV in early 2012. Transferred to Western Iowa Junior College in early 2013. Transferred to College of the Siskiyous in California and played there in 2013 and 2014. Transferred to Missouri. Started 3 of 12 games played as a sophomore. Started 5 of 12 games played as a junior. Broke his arm during spring practice. During the summer of 2017 made a public announcement on social media that he would not talk to media during the season because of how the media publicized a student athlete arrest. Had a 2.9 GPA in high school.

Positives: Ideal height and listed weight. Good height to weight ratio. Proportioned body. Good overall bulk with the lean musculature you look for in the lower body of a rusher. Active in support of his teammates and will assist with tackles. Has an edge to his game and can get chippy with his matchup. Appears to have been supported strongly by his teammates. No off-field incidents.

Negatives: Appears to lack ideal length. Lacks great speed. Has a disconnect between his upper lower body and is not a fluid athlete. Regularly the last player off the snap and lacks the explosion to startle the tackle. Not able to get low and bend on the edge. Lacks balance and spends too much time on the ground. Doesn’t have pop in his hands. Slow to recognize delayed handoffs and regularly finds himself attacking the wrong player and being out of position to make the play. Insufficient strength at the point which gets him turned and washed too often. Playmaking range is limited due to his athletic limitations. Committed to or enrolled in four different colleges before landing at Missouri and had to take the JuCo route. Boycotted local media during his senior season. Use of social media is occasionally controversial.

Outlook: An outside rusher that has the prototypical height/weight combination you look for but lacks ideal athleticism, strength, range and doesn’t impact the game nearly enough. Came up through the non-traditional route and appeared to be on the right track until his media boycott created headlines. Off-field will require some attention.

We ever gonna get some rankings?  Making me look like an overachiever.

I won't have rankings until April. My process is pretty labor intensive.

 I have a lot of small school players asking me to watch them and right now I'm evaluating a player for an NFL agent  so there are a lot of distractions. 

Not to mention keeping this up to date is a monster.

Osband Thompson  | 4SR |  DOB: 07/09/96 | 6’0” 210e | Tuskegee
Position: Safety/Rover  |  Projection: Free Agent  |  Comp: NA

Games Evaluated: Highlights (2016), Lane College (2017)
Background: Miami, Florida native. Not a ranked recruit according to 247Sports. Psychology major. Started 8 of 11 games played as a freshman. Started all 13 games played  as a sophomore. Started as a junior. Started as a senior. Mother raised seven boys. Prays before games.

Positives: Solid height. Good frame and musculature with room to add weight. Proportioned body. Height to weight ratio is ideal. Solid straight line speed. Good reactionary quickness and awareness which consistently puts him him near the ball. Has active hands when attacking on the blitz and impacts throwing lanes. A consistent tackler when he makes contact. Closes on the ball quickly and hits with purpose. Has never had a notable injury playing football. A supportive teammate with leadership qualities.  

Negatives: A little rigid and lacks great lateral movement. May struggle to bring down ball carriers in the open field in face to face situations and is a more accurate striker when tackling downhill while on the move. Has inverted knees which puts him at an elevated risk for lower-body injuries.

Outlook: A highly decorated small-school linebacker who will likely have to transition to more of a traditional safety role in the NFL due to his size. He is a difficult projection due to him rarely playing coverage in college and coming from a very small school. His size, speed and reactionary quickness should be enough to warrant a shot in spring camp.
