So I was thinking about Daxton Hill!....but as a cb, not a safety. a lot of characteristics can translate to the boundary corner as well! Do you think if we stuck him as a boundary corner, he can still succeed? Edited March 22, 2022 by battle2heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikeManDan Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Given our recent lack of success with 1st round picks I'd just like someone that can come in and contribute from Day 1. I don't mean to sound like I'm setting the bar low but Spielman was absolute garbage, Jefferson aside, since the Trae Waynes pick back in 2015.

George Karlaftis 6-4 266 21 reps at 225 38" vertical 121 Broad jump 4.36 short shuttle NA 40 yard dash Boye Mafe 6-4 257 21 reps at 225 41.5" vertical 125 Broad jump 4.20 short shuttle 4.53 40 yard dash Mafe is just as strong, has a better vertical, better broad jump and better short shuttle and my guess is a much better 40 time. Also was a better player this past year that got more pressure on the QB and sacks, also had a great Senior bowl against top competition. Not sure George is worth a top 12 pick overall, and I still question his ability in a 3/4 when he is more a 4/3 DE. If George is worth that high of a pick then Mafe is as well even though I do not have him as one either. But fact is Mafe is possibly the better player and can bend the edge better and is more twitchy arguably. George I thought disappointed this past year and did not live up to his ability and seemed a little different off that injury, and Travon Walker/Jermaine Johnson jumped him as prospect and so did Boye arguably. Also no way I take Wyatt or Karlaftis over Jordan Davis, I still say that dude is more conditioned now than he ever was on Georgia, that loss to Bama really made him change and who knows how great he could be with that new found explosiveness and stamina. Something he did not always have on Georgia, but sure he will have to keep it up and continue that kind of preparation. I don’t agree with you on that. I’ve seen Karlaftis play and I’ve seen Mafe play. There is really no comparison. Karlaftis’ tape from the Notre Dame game alone is more impressive than Boye Mafe’s entire college career. Boye Mafe is very raw and it might take some time for him to even see the field. Also Boye Mafe doesn’t really play the run well. He seems like a 3rd down guy at the moment. I think he’s one of the players that if you watch his highlights you’d be amazed, but when you watch the entire game tape, there are a lot of reps that he doesn’t do much of anything to disrupt the play. Just watch Voch Lombardi break down Karlaftis and you’d understand why this guy is different. Edited March 22, 2022 by Purplepride323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 I didn't like his footwork there, but it's impressive that he did get it that far downfield without truly setting his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent wise he's a top 3 player in the draft. I don't know if he'll make it past 7, though. The Giants desperately need help back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think if we stuck him as a boundary corner, he can still succeed? I love Daxton Hill, heck I think the Vikings could toy with drafting him as the safety opposite Harrison Smith but yes I think he could play boundary corner also. But is an above average safety in coverage and a great tackler with outstanding footwork. He would be a great pickup, but I could see him drop and Green Bay steal him. But yeah I would not be against drafting him and trying him out at corner and if that does not fit he could be a great safety with range and tackling ability inside and outside the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
