Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 2012 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report: Markelle Martin, FS, Oklahoma State Martin has a well-rounded, do-it-all style of play that puts him all over the field. His athleticism is often on display -- playing center field as a ball hawk. He's talented enough to drop down as the eighth man in the box. Like most safeties, you don't want him in man coverage all too often, but that skill will develop as a professional. Of the senior safeties, he's one of the best draft prospects (if not the best). He's an aggressive defender that plays downhill. He is a brutal tackler that can hit like a ton of bricks, but he'll be taught to break down and wrap up more often than not. Martin, while having a knack for making big plays, needs to do better not to give them up. Plays well in the deep half zone and has enough speed. Martin is very fluid in open spaces when he doesn't get upright and lose his bend. The upside here is that these flaws are mental mistakes that can be coach-corrected. His burst and pursuit are both above-average. All the physical tools are there for a good, quality pro. http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?prospect_id=3003
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 great another playmaker going to another team (Tennessee)they had a boner for Barron but now when a good safety is there we pick a guard who is never going to play.
