BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What's interesting is that Mayock has Dennard and Pryor as his #1 CB and Safety, respectively. Mayock is pretty spot on about his DBs and it goes along with the buzz that both Dennard and Pryor have been getting towards the end of the season. Granted, this is usually when Mayock says he starts really reviewing the tape, but having Pryor over Clinton-Dix is becoming pretty trendy, especially after watching Earl Thomas and Kam in the superbowl.

Why is it trendy? Is it due to his size, compared to Ha-Ha? also, surprised how far Dee Ford moved up the Draft Boards based on his Senior Bowl performance.

LAD_Brooklyn Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I thought ka'deem carey would make the top 5,no? Not sure why he wouldn't be number one. CJ Mosley over. Barr? Landry as his 5th receiver? Over Robinson and Cook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trendy as in a lot of these draft guys, like Mayocl, say this is the time of year that they are are really getting to watching the tape and when people were watching Louisville it was primarily Teddy they were talking about. He was always considered a top prospect, but as of late I'm seeing him rated about Clinton-Dix with more frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Not sure why he wouldn't be number one. CJ Mosley over. Barr? Landry as his 5th receiver? Over Robinson and Cook? Couple things I've read: --Mosley has impressed with his ability in coverage, giving some the idea that he could play all three LB spots in a 4-3 --Ka'Deem Carey has a domestic violence charge on the record. --Barr supposedly doesn't move well laterally, and McShay said that he essentially doesn't play as well as his size/speed would lead you to believe--not as explosive as you'd think he'd be, despite the sack totals. --Brandin Cooks has a ton of speed, but doesn't do much after the catch statistically. --Landry and Robinson are similar players, even though Robinson is bigger, but Landry allegedly has surreal hands.

Good info TS.... can you see Mosley as an OLB in a 3-4? Can he bring the pressure, while setting the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. If his hands touches it, its caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm gonna guess now that the two WRs who light it up at the combine will be Cooks and Paul Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hyde top RB. He's my top back too. Reminds me of Lacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm gonna guess now that the two WRs who light it up at the combine will be Cooks and Paul Richardson. Solid names and guesses. I'm gonna stick with Sammy and Marqise Lee: both of them are just so damned athletic and explosive, I bet Lee tops out the broad jump and top 5 in high jump, I really think he's gonna beast it this weekend.

eboozer Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'm hoping that a few bad 40 times(4.48 - 4.5) on a guy like Lee and a 4.6 on Evans would guarantee they are there at 18. The 40 is overrated... you can get lucky with a player who drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 40 is overrated... you can get lucky with a player who drops. I never understood the importance of the combine. you have 2,3,4 years of tape on the player, yet said player can rise or fall due to a 10th of a second, jump an inch higher, or move around some cones a little faster. use the combine to pick a players brain. use the tape to determine the players talent level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I think Lee is going to be really special. Not sure if he's next Jerry Rice or next Jeremy Maclin. But I could see either scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If you had one college game to win, you would have McCarron number 1, but he is 5th on this list. I see a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
