Smashmouth Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Does anyone think this guy is a possibility as a second round pick or is his stock rising to fast for that, possibly putting him in the mid to late first round area ? Guy looks like he could be a beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 He did look really good, I def would like to get him in the 2nd but I'm not sure if he'll still be there after his combine. S and OL in FA then OLB in the first and Hill in the second would be a great ******* off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Jets fan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have been thinking trading down. Picking up more pics and taking him around 23, 24. Changes our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 By changes I assume you mean bigger and faster but somehow even worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy looks like he could be a beast Love to see him there at 47 but doubt he lasts. Couple of the sites I read say he could vault into the bottom of round 1 similar to Demaryius Thomas did in 2010. It only takes one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Great size/speed ratio, but he's a risky pick since GT doesn't do the whole "route-tree" thing. I think taking a 1st rounder on him would be crazy risky, but I have no doubt some team will do it. Basically, I'd love him as a 3rd rounder, would live with him as a 2nd, and would go ape sh*t if somehow we took him with a 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Imagine the jets draft this player. could they use him? the last time we saw Mark he was throwing INTs to DT, trying to dump off to RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sanchez keeps playing at that level you have to bite the bullet and move on from him. That shouldn't be a factor, imo. I also personally think the west coast offense is a horrible fit for Sanchez. He's not accurate, turns the ball over, and is not a great decision-maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Saying we shouldn't draft a WR that has a chance to be great because of Sanchez id retarded. If Sanchez can't get the ball to a good WR then he'll be gone and someone else will be throwing them the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Saying we shouldn't draft a WR that has a chance to be great because of Sanchez id retarded. not all WR do the same thing some WR like Rueben Randle, specialize in catching badly thrown balls. that's a skill that could help mark Sanchez. Stephen Hill is basically a 9 route (go) at this point in his career. he goes deep. That's it. on his best day, Sanchez doesn't really go deep. that was my point. not that Sanchez is awful but he's got certain strengths and weakesses and taking a WR who can only run go routes and expects the ball thrown well 40 yards downfield isn't playing into Sanchez' strengths. side note the time it takes a Stephen Hill to learn the whole route tree (3-5 years) is why the Jets generally don't take 1st rd WR. A WR like Hill can be productive (for example Demarius Thomas) but he will be limited for a while. Can he run block? Probably coming out of that option offense he had to do alot of it. That's the type of thing the Jets are looking for, veteran level polish from a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLguerriero1 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 ... the real question is how does gtech run the option but still get beast receivers to sign with them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Voice of Reason Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 ... the real question is how does gtech run the option but still get beast receivers to sign with them... They can sell them on the fact that they have shown that they can get receivers picked in the first round. Hell, Thomas was injured iirc by the time of the draft.

JonEJet Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 There are alot of things Sanchez doesn't do well, but I think he throws a pretty decent deep ball (2010) Not sure if he went deep all last season due to lack of the deep threat, and crap OLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTJ06 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Ga. Tech's Stephen Hill is an ascending player By D. Orlando Ledbetter The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Because Stephen Hill set the track ablaze at Lucas Oil Stadium during the NFL scouting combine, he didn’t need to run another 40-yard dash at Georgia Tech’s Pro Day on Tuesday. The throng of about 50 NFL representatives, which included Falcons coach Mike Smith and Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith, already knew that Hill was plenty fast enough to play professionally. Hill ran the 40-yard dash officially in 4.36 seconds at the scouting combine. Some scouts had lower times. He also tied for first with an 11-foot-1 broad jump and had the fifth highest vertical leap at 39 inches. The people on hand Tuesday wanted to see Hill run routes and catch the ball fluidly. Hill, from Miller Grove High and Lithonia, did not disappoint them. Hill caught all 12 passes that were thrown to him by former Richmond quarterback Eric Ward, who had a brief stint with the Falcons. Hill made a few of his trademark acrobatic catches, but had none of the inexplicable drops that previously plagued him. Using combine workouts and a strong Pro Day, Hill improved his draft status from a fringe player to one on the verge of moving into the first round of the NFL draft, which is set for April 26-28 in New York. “I just had to show them that I could run routes instead of just running deep routes,” Hill said. “I just wanted to show that I had the good ability to get in and out of my breaks.” Hill’s work with former Falcons receiver Terance Mathis paid off. “It was a big point of emphasis,” Hill said. “We worked on breaks and cuts every single day. He pushed me to the limit.” Now, all that is left for Hill is to make personal visits and conduct additional interviews with teams. NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock was on hand for Hill’s workout. He studied all of Hill’s film before arriving for the workout. He saw the dazzling catches and the drops that frustrated the Tech fan base at times. “I’m less concerned about his drops,” Mayock said. “He has some great hands catches. He’s a hands snatcher. He had five or six drops, two of which were in critical situations, I think against North Carolina and Clemson. That worries you a little bit, but when you watch him catch the football, it’s so natural.” Mayock wanted to see Hill run routes, too. “The issue with bigger receivers is just can [they] get in and out of breaks,” Mayock said. “When you watch him here, getting in and out of breaks, it’s really good. It’s raw, but you can see the ability.” Some of the scouts have compared Hill with Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who also played at Tech. “I think he’ll carve his own path,” Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “They both are very talented and different. I think both will be very successful.” Some contend that Tech’s offense is not wide receiver-friendly for pro prospects. “If you’re a good player, they are going to find you,” Johnson said. Johnson wanted Hill to stay in school, but now he’s a projected high draft pick. “I don’t think he’s surprised me physically at all,” Johnson said. “I knew that he was a physical talent. I think where he’s really made the most progress within the last year and half is his maturity. There are a lot of things that go into it. “Another year would have helped. He would have been closer to graduation, but it looks like he’s made the right decision.” Other Tech players who took part were fullback Lucas Cox, running back Roddy Jones, wide receiver Tyler Melton, defensive end Jason Peters, cornerback Rashaad Reid, linebacker Steven Sylvester, defensive tackle Logan Walls and running back Embry Peeples. “If I get brought in as a free agent, guys can make the team that way as well,” Jones said. “Victor Cruz was an undrafted free agent. There are always those stories. I certainly feel like I can be one of those stories.” http://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-falcons/ga-techs-stephen-hill-1375102.html?cxtype=rss_falcons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
