D82 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just now, Texasmade said: Malik is overrated. It's not even a given that he's going to be a starter this year. Connor Williams is legit though. PJ Locke, Kris Boyd and Charles Omenihu are 3 guys I'd keep an eye on. Wait...seriously? What the heck happened there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't take on blocks, nor does he get off them. He's been playing out of position the last 2 years, and that certainly hasn't helped, but even if he were in the right position, if you lack the physicality to do those things, you're going to struggle. Hopefully the light turns on for him this year, but to date the new staff is struggling to get him to do those things, just as the previous one did.

Woz Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 The two obvious ones for the Cavaliers are LB Micah Kiser FS Quin Blanding Not to say that there aren't other guys, but those are the main ones (and given how little this team will likely do this year, you probably won't hear much of anyone else).

NickSabansHat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Alabama Crimson Tide DB Minkah FItzpatrick - Can play and has great upside at every position in the secondary. Round 1 LB Rashaan Evans - His explosiveness and fluidity in space make him the prototypical modern-day LB. Round 1 WR Calvin Ridley - Great speed and sure hands and runs sharp routes. Kind of slight build and will turn 24 as a rookie. Round 1-2 S Ronnie Harrison - Covers TEs, RBs, and slot receivers effectively. Good in run support. His aggressiveness has gotten him beat deep from time to time though. Best fit long-term is most likely as a primarily box safety. Also gets too emotional, a bit of a loose cannon. Round 1-3 DL Da'Ron Payne - Another 2-gap defensive lineman out of Bama. Has shown the occasional flash of pass rushing potential. Round 2-3 RB Bo Scarbrough - Great combination of size, power and speed. Unfortunately he's injury prone with serious injuries dating back to his high school days. Round 2-3 LB Shaun Dion Hamilton - Solid all-around LB. Probably best suited as a 4-3 WILL. Round 3-5 DL DaShawn Hand - Hasn't really lived up to lofty recruiting rankings but is a decent player and still has the size/athleticism to continue to progress. Round 3-5 DB Tony Brown - Certainly looks the part and is an elite athlete but to this point he hasn't really excelled at any particular position after spending time at almost every DB spot over the course of his career at Alabama. Round 3-5 RB Damien Harris - Tough runner with good balance and vision. Nothing spectacular but he gets the job done. Round 3-5 C Bradley Bozeman - Graded out as our best pass protector last season IIRC. Solid in the run game as well. Round 3-5 CB Anthony Averett - One of the fastest players on the team and really improved as the season went along. Kinda smallish though and gets bullied by bigger receivers. Round 3-5 WR Robert Foster - Great speed and quickness to go with good size. Has shown flashes but injuries and (rumored) off-field issues have kept him from producing. Round 5-7 2018+ guys to watch: RB Josh Jacobs EDGE Christian Miller EDGE Terrell Lewis LT Jonah Williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokeybandit Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Penn State Pretty small senior class this year. RB - Saquon Barkley (day 1) TE - Mike Gesicki (day 2, slight chance at day 1) S - Marcus Allen (day 2) OG/OT - Brendan Mahon (day 3) LB - Jason Cabinda (day 3) CB - Christian Campbell ( day 3) WR - DaeSean Hamilton (day 3) WR - Saeed Blacknall ( day 3/UDFA) K - Tyler Davis (UDFA, but will be one of the most NFL-ready kickers this year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real problem is that while we've got a fair amount of talent on the defense, the offense looks woeful. Yes, we have Benkert who was decent last year, and our two leading receivers last year (if you can name them without looking them up, you're a better man than I). I've been beaten down enough as a Wahoo fan to expect next to nothing. Outside of one fluke season in 2004 (or was it 2005?), I haven't been wrong since George Welsh left.

holt_bruce81 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The guy on Mizzou who I'm interested in seeing this year is their TE Kendall Blanton. 6'6 260...getting a lot of buzz here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) FSU A lot of these guys are difficult for me to project, and many are juniors. I combined the late round and mid round guys, after initially separating them. 1st Round: SS Derwin James CB Travares McFadden Borderline 1st DT Derrick Nnadi DE Josh Sweat 2nd/3rd QB Deondre Francois OT Brock Ruble TE Ryan Izzo LB Matthew Thomas Mid Round/Late Round: OC Alec Elerbe RB Jaques Patrick OT Rick Leonard WR Auden Tate WR Nyquan Murry DE/LB Jacob Pugh SS: Nate Andrews DB: Trey Marshall Edited August 14, 2017 by freak_of_nature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohogs14 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Arkansas C Frank Ragnow- Top 3 rounds. Probably just coachspeak, but Bielema called him maybe the best offensive lineman he's ever coached. Joe Thomas and Travis Frederick are a high bar but he's definitely one of the favorites for the Rimington going into the year. QB Austin Allen- Led the SEC in passing in his first year starting despite an awful OL that got him nearly killed. Will take some risks and sling the ball around but needs to watch the interceptions. Not sure exactly how he projects at the next level but could go anywhere from 4th-6th IMO. WR Jared Cornelius- PFF had him as one of the most efficient slot receivers in college last year. Dealt with quite a few injuries but he'll be the #1 guy this year. Went for 146 yards on Alabama last year. He's quick but he doesn't really do anything to stand out from most NFL slot receivers so I'm not sure where to put him. 6th or 7th round if I had to guess. We're a pretty young team overall this year so that's probably it for the seniors. Juniors to watch out for: LB Dre Greenlaw- Productive player, but has been injury prone. Fits the mold of the smaller S/OLB type that can make plays across the field. CB Ryan Pulley- Could be our highest drafted corner since Chris Houston in 2008. TE Jeremy Patton- #1 ranked JUCO TE who fits our offense really well and we've done a great job at sending TEs to the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 1 hour ago, RamRod said: For Virginia Tech WR Cam Phillips OG Wyatt Teller LB Tremaine Edmunds CB Adonis Alexander CB Brandon Facyson True, you could put all of these guys on that list as well of potential NFL prospects. Andrew Motuapuaka Greg Stroman Travon McMillian Vinny Mihota Terrell Edmunds Trevon Hill Mook Reynolds Divine Deablo Josh Jackson Tremaine Edmunds I really like as a linebacker, great athlete at that size, and his brother is a very interesting safety. Stroman is a long shot at corner but is a decent return man and athlete. Deablo could be a star safety and Jackson impressed for his first game at quarterback as a freshman. If they had a better DL they would easily be one of the best defenses in the nation with all of those quality defensive backs. Still did get ripped apart in that game in terms of pass coverage but again that would be different if they got better pressure on the QB potentially. Alexander could play himself into being a 2nd or 3rd round pick if he keeps this up as well, and Teller is a tough guard inside, not to mention Motuapuaka is a fine tackler at inside linebacker.

PAW Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Clemson Tigers We are very young this year Seniors Dorian O'Daniel (rSR)-not sure on grade yet, really athletic but undersized OLB will have a huge role on D this year which will determine stock Tyrone Crowder (rSR)-UDFA, good run blocker but overweight Underclassmen likely to declare Christian Wilkins (JR)-1st round Clelin Ferrell (rSO)-1st round Mitch Hyatt (JR)-2nd round Deon Cain (JR)-3rd round with the potential to move up as he is the guy this year Underclassmen unlikely to declare barring a big year Kendall Joseph (rJR)-I can see him leaving early as he will likely have graduated, tackling machine Austin Bryant (JR)-I can see him leaving early, was hurt last year but looks great physically this year and had a strong freshman year (lots of PT in playoffs) Hunter Renfrow (rJR)-I see him playing out his college eligibility but it's not like his stock is ever going to improve so he may leave, elite route runner with with great hands Van Smith (JR)-Not high on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
