Not at the same time as he’s obviously much younger than me but he’s by far the best player to ever come out of there. I’d love for him to be a Redskin. Ah, Woodbridge. I work down near there, a little bit south in Triangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Teller, Kizer, Hand, Hurst and Sweat all on the board. I really hope this Apke kid pans out. That’s a lot of talent to pass on for a project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he was not prjected to go until at least the 6th. Likely cannot cover and if he didnt have the combine numbers he did, he likely goes undrafted.

I think the bird was supposed to flap its wings and say go Bucs or something given the way the lady was doing a nutty chicken dance. Between that and the Jets trying to video in the pick via an tablet from Children's Hospital, I hope teams start skipping the kitschy quirks. I know it isn't going to happen, but here's hoping.

They’re fast and athletic safeties. I’m saying he has the physical attributes to develop into that. I’m not sure we really truly know what Apke’s skill-set is because he was only a one-year starter, he needs development. I hope Gray and company can develop him in the next few years to eventually be starting material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a hell of a commute, but I love my job and the organization I work for so I’m not leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost exactly the same size, and of course Archuleta was a combine freak too. Except that Apke ran faster and jumped higher and — though it seems like Archuleta didn’t do the agility drills (for good reason probably) — was, I guarantee better in those too. And we got Apke in the 4th round, instead of pick 20. To be fair, if you’re getting Adam Archuleta in the 4th round, that’s a pretty big win.

If you’re sitting down on a Saturday in late April to watch rounds 4-7 of the NFL Draft, you’re most likely a true fan and don’t need or want the gimmicks. It’s so dumb.

turtle28 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ha! There’s Poe, the Ravens mascott. I’ll never forget when I almost got in a fight with him in 2001 when I was in the Towson town mall. I was wearing my Lavar Arrington jersey and he was there with Jamaal Lewis who was signing autographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 There goes Kyzir White from Wvu who I wanted. It will be interesting to follow Apke, Whitehead, White, Watts, Allen and Blanding to see which of them develop into the better long term player. My feeling is Apke will be a special teams demon for us and maybe a starter after we move on from Swearinger in 3 years or so but the other safeties at this point are better safeties, and not just an athlete learning and developing into the position.

He shows Awesome range like Nicholson, is a sound tackler in coverage and around the line of scrimmage, good hands, great speed and showed some ability to play the slot. If/when Gray can develop him, he could be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
