NY Nole Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 "Easley is a very raw talent who struggled on the bench for three years before bursting on the scene during his senior year at UConn. He has a rare combination of size and straight-line speed and can make acrobatic catches. The problem is Easley does not appear to trust his hands and will not only drop some catchable passes but tends to let the ball get into his body to trap it rather than reach out to pluck it. He is a bit of a strider and will need a lot of work on getting in and out of his breaks. The nice thing is that he has a good chance to see some action on special teams. He was a core special-teams performer at UConn during his first three years as he tried to earn a scholarship." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 He is a big WR with good speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Might be well deserved this time. Very strange pick. Yeah, seriously, they lost me here. And they had that pick in pronto after Oakland's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 This is where scouts make their money. None of us have heard of him. It's nice to have the name recognition of your pick and have a little media hype behind the pick. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see with this guy.

Tom Posted April 24, 2010 Author Share Posted April 24, 2010 NFL-N didn't say much here nut they did on the Raiders choice of Clemson's Jacoby Ford......... I hope this pick pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I can't argue with it. Its not like they don't need help at that position. Easley didn't produce until his senior year, but 6'3 210lb WRs who run a 4.39 don't grow on trees. Worth the risk in R4 for a WR-deficient team, IMO.

Boolay Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 What's strange about it? Other than a 1 year starter at the Football power Uconn that would be there in Round 7... Nothing strange at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curse Of Rusty Jones Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 04/02/2010 - PRO DAY RESULTS: When position coaches are dispatched to a pro day, it typically signifies a definite interest in a particular prospect. Remember that when it comes to Connecticut WR Marcus Easley (6-foot-2 3/4, 211 pounds). Included among the 20 team representatives on hand for UConn's pro day were the receivers coaches from the Jets and Ravens. That could be a good sign for Easley's draft stature, and he took advantage of the attention. He stood on most of his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine, but posted an impressive 37 1/2-inch vertical jump and looked good in position drills. - Gil Brandt, NFL.c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 What's strange about it? He's just a guy that was on a pretty bad team that never really stood out. Apparently his combine performance had him looking pretty good, but he just didn't look all that great on the field. I think there was some really good talent at other positions of need that could have been considered, but if they wanted a WR there were some guys that really showed more talent on the field available. There must be something Nix and/or Gailey like about Easley, I'm just no sure what it is. So for me, it's a strange pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 ESPN has STILL not announced the pick. We're at pick 112 and they're STILL talking about Bruce Campbell at 106. Their draft coverage is absolutely TERRIBLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Other than a 1 year starter at the Football power Uconn that would be there in Round 7... Nothing strange at all. You mean the powerhouse UCONN team that beat the pretty damn good SEC team South Carolina in their bowl game this season right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their draft coverage is absolutely TERRIBLE. It's the same deal every year. Once they get to the 4th round the talk is very random. The "name" picks or more popular teams get the time. Nothing new.
