mse326 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Can anyone give me a run down on Amik Robertson? Texans need someone with ball skills. Does he come out this year or stay for his senior year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amik Robertson La Tech JR Essang Bassey Wake Forest Myles Bryant Washington CJ Henderson Florida JR John Reid Penn State RS Damon Arnette Ohio State Cameron Dantzler Miss State RS JR Safeties who could cover in the slot if asked and Winfield could straight up play corner if asked, same with Blackmon most likely and Jones but Winfield would be the best corner out of all of them I feel. Brooks could be a convert to OLB or coverage linebacker similar to what Tanner Muse will most likely become but Brooks can cover better than Muse as a pure safety.

I think Wade at the next level would be a starting outside corner not a slot corner unless he gets on a team that is stacked at CB which is not many honestly.

Wade plays more slot in all of my observations. But I think he can play both outside and slot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSU has started 3 CBs and only 1 safety all season long... Arnette and Okudah out wide and Wade in the slot, and they don't switch it up at all (although against Michigan Arnette did play in the slot with Wade being out). I doubt Wade has played more than 30 snaps out wide his entire career at Ohio State. Edited December 2, 2019 by BRANDON26841X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I saw some of Myles Bryant, he was way to small and wasn't a sound enough tackler to be effective with his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAW Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Okudah is one of the best college CB I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wade at the next level would be a starting outside corner not a slot corner unless he gets on a team that is stacked at CB which is not many honestly. Damon Arnette didn’t play in the slot very much. He and Jeff Okudah were the outside corners. Although Shaun Wade is a true corner, he basically played a mix of slot and safety without getting much time outside. That’s just the way things go sometimes when there is a second round caliber guy with two years on you (Arnette) and an elite guy in Okudah, who will go top 10, maybe top 5. If Wade returned for next year, he would probably make a huge jump by showing the outside versatility and go top 15. As it stands, he is still probably going to declare for the draft and go pretty high, because I think GM’s are aware that he can play outside and are already likely to fall in love with his versatility. Would not be surprised to see him go in the top 25, but certainly the top 40 picks. The NFL loves DBs that can be versatile. He is the type of guy that could honestly excel in the slot, outside, or in a safety role. A physical and sound tackler to go along with good coverage skills and plus athleticism.

Now that I look at it more you are right, this season Wade does play all slot and or safety this year. Arnette I thought played some slot earlier in his career and is arguably better at that than outside corner but will see. Wade is easily a better prospect than Arnette who has improved a lot this year but Wade as a tackler makes him crazy interesting and arguably what he is best at, he can really hit and strike. His versatility as well I agree makes him really wanted at the next level since he can do safety, outside corner or slot corner. I agree he could be a higher pick next year in 2021 potentially, but even this year has late 1st round or 2nd round potential in a some what weak CB class outside of Okudah so he will declare. I agree Okudah will be a top 10 pick based on the DB needs of the NFL. Would have been interesting what would have happened if Wade did not make that hit on Lawrence in that game. It totally changed things and really hurt that defense without him being in there. Same can be said for the Michigan game without him. If he goes and Okudah assuming curious what they will do losing all four starters and having not great depth outside of that and White transferring to Rutgers. Like it has been said a lot this year, that Ohio State was one of the best ever no doubt in terms of talent. Odd they lose but they simply did not score when they had the chances and kicked those field goals keeping Clemson in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
