KRL Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Both the North and South teams practices were shown today. Not enough drills are being shown of the QB's so it's hard to form an opinion. In the little I saw yesterday Bryce Petty was not natural taking the snap from under center and Sean Mannion looks like Mike Glennon but needs to speed up his release: South - Phillip Dorsett (WR - Miami) another "Brandin Cooks" type of WR short, electric hands catcher - Nick Marshall (CB - AUB) that's right Marshall was the QB at AUB but has decided to convert to CB. He was a CB before going to AUB so he has the basic skills but is incredibly raw. Shows flashes, if someone wants to invest the time they could create themselves a "long CB" (6-1 210) - Sammie Coates (WR - AUB) based on his body structure and speed he should be the #1 WR in the draft. But he's incredibly inconsistent with his hands and there's questions on if he can run a full route tree. He looked good today but is he a Stephen Hill? - Kevin White (CB - TCU) small CB (5-9 175) that reminds me of Jason Verrett from last year's draft. Good coverage skills and shows the anticipation to turn his head and play the ball when his back is turned to the QB - Tyler Lockett (WR - Kan St) another "Brandin Cooks" type of WR short, electric hands catcher - Ladarius Gunter (CB - Miami) physical "long CB" (6-2 200) with good coverage skills - Imoan Claiborne (CB - NW St. La) plays bigger and more physical than his size (5-11 195) - Markus Golden (DE - Missouri) productive college DE but he gets "stuck" on OT's when coming off the line. Will have to move to 3-4 OLB to make it - Clive Walford (TE - Miami) was the standout of the day. An athletic TE (6-4 265) with excellent speed and surprising "wiggle". Moves like a WR to lose defenders - Lael Collins (OT - LSU) huge OT (6-5 315) who stones defenders when he gets his hands on them. Will be interested to see how he handles speed rushers and whether he can get to the second level - Shaq Mason (G - Ga Tech) "fireplug" type of guard who can run block coming out of Ga Tech's triple option. But showed surprising ability to pass block in 1 on 1 drills North - Ty Montgomery (WR - Stanford) finally caught some balls and had a much better day - Devin Smith (WR - Ohio St) terrific speed but what I appreciated was he tried to show he's not a "one trick pony" by running different routes in his drills - Ameer Abdullah (RB - NEB) I wonder where he fits, he's a short RB (5-9 190) but it doesn't seem like he has the power of a Jones-Drew. And it doesn't seem like he has the burst of a Sproles. He also had issues holding up in the blocking drills - Carl Davis (DT - Iowa) a dual threat at the "3 technique" position. Can penetrate but also showed a good ability to stop the run - Laken Tomlinson (G - Duke) another good day, battled Danny Shelton to a standstill in his reps - Nick Boyle (TE - Delaware) another big day, he blocked like a smaller OT. And showed the ability to adjust to balls in the air. Would really be nice to pair him with Amaro - ZaDarius Smith (DE - Kentucky) finally put on his "big boy pants" and showed that he could compete at this level. He flashed the talent that I saw in the Shrine game over the weekend (speedy, edge pass rusher) - Danny Shelton (NT - Wash) another big day only Laken Tomlinson stood up to him - Nate Orchard (DE - Utah) I wonder where he fits, he had a big day in the pass rush drills but he did it with power moves. The problem is he's not big (6-4 255) I wonder if he has the speed to be an edge rusher. Also does he have the athletic ability to move to OLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks KRL, great report as always did not realize Sean Mannion was 6'5" 220lbs, I have not seen him play, but interesting for a projected 5th round pick, For his career, Mannion started 43 games, completing 1,187 of 1,838 passes for 13,600 yards, 83 touchdowns and 54 interceptions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Mannion_%28American_football%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Justin Hardy would be a great pick. But what is the appropriate round for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Justin Hardy would be a great pick. But what is the appropriate round for him? My guess is 4 barring a blowout combine. Thanks for doing this KRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Killa Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My guess is 4 barring a blowout combine. Thanks for doing this KRL Hey, I would take 4th round on him all day. Drafting two wide outs seems logical in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrien2Toon Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Great stuff, thanks for doing this. Always root for the N. Marshall types, just a great football player. Last year Idzick and Co. invested heavily in Sr. Bowl performances and it was a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
