EaglesPeteC Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I wanted to like Julian Blackmon so much then I watched some tape on him and watched him get WORKED down the field a lot. He is good around the box though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good around the box though Used to be a full-time CB, JUST switched to S, so he's raw. He takes bad angles A LOT. Doesn't have confidence in his timing when breaking towards the football, too. A lot of his instances of getting burned/abused in coverage come from double takes. He'll begin to break towards a receiver, hesitate, and then do it, but it's too late at that point. He'll gain confidence over time, and he's learning to read the field in a completely different way. You can also catch him reading a receiver instead of the QB; his eyes will wander to the route when he's in deep zone, and that's where it can get dangerous employing him in C1 at this point. He plays a lot bigger than he is, has excellent ball skills, sheds blocks better than any safety in this class besides Chinn, has really nice route recognition ability, love the frame, can cover TEs very well, really good athleticism, physical with top-notch grip strength, and really all the tools and production a guy could want from someone who's only played one year at safety. He'll fit very well as a split safety, can play some LB too despite his weight. Good big nickel, as well. I love him, especially at this juncture. Also, that USC game was brutal. But he flat-out destroyed BYU and West Virginia. He'd probably be going much higher if he didn't have the knee injury that prevented him from doing anything pre-draft.

HoboRocket Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Looking to trade up into this range. I have several players on the block, as well as my remaining draft picks and future picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman ran a 4.66 and while he isnt as good now he was pretty productive for the panthers. how about a 4.58 from xavien howard. i think its a bit about what u ask your CB to do. if ur asking him to play man ur gonna want a guy who runs around a 4.52 or lower but zone u can get away with a little slower. Lol cmon bruh. We can argue outliers all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Two good WR picks, but as low as I’ve seen him in posted rankings, I really thought he might be there at 153. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
