Draft prospects not getting enough attention


Recommended Posts

Some interesting pro day results:

 

Daviyon Nixon, DL

Height: 6’3″

Weight: 313 lbs

Forty-Yard Dash: 4.9 Seconds

Vertical Jump: 28.5″

Broad Jump: 8’10”

Three-Cone Drill: 7.68 Seconds

Twenty-Yard Shuttle: 4.7 Seconds

 

I'd be very okay with him being our 1T pick

 

Ihmir Smith-Marsette, WR

Height: 6’1″

Weight: 181 lbs

Forty-Yard Dash: 4.43 Seconds

Vertical Jump: 37″

Broad Jump: 10’4″

Three-Cone Drill: 7 Seconds

Twenty-Yard Shuttle: 4.2 Seconds

Bench Press: 10 Reps at 225 lbs

 

Not mind-blowing numbers but plenty good enough. Looks faster in pads than 4.43.

 

Ernest Jones, LB

Height: 6’1.5″

Weight: 230 lbs

Forty-Yard Dash: 4.72 Seconds

Vertical Jump: 38.5″

Broad Jump: 10’6″

Three-Cone Drill: 7.35 Seconds

Twenty-Yard Shuttle: 4.30 Seconds

Bench Press: 19 Reps at 225 lbs

 

I like this guy more and more. Tape shows up, explosion apparent in testing. I'm guessing this is a guy that teams are higher on than the draftnik community.

I'll add Alim McNeill DT. Little short at 6'2 but is 320. Has some upside in the pass rush. May be good to rotate with Star this year and possibly replace him next season. 

 

Not tech savvy, so hope the link works..🤔

I like McNeil a lot. My original list focuses more on later round guys, I think McNeil is

a 2 or a 3, but certainly he’s not getting talked about enough...

I’ve been beating the drum for this dude...and I’ve not seen him listed top 5 on RB prospect rankings anywhere, and he was 2019 first team All-SEC...I’d love him in the 3rd in a perfect world...

Looks like a faster version os Singletary

Yeah. I have him as a mid to late 2. Not sure if he will last to 61, definitely not to 93. Maybe use a later round pick to move up a few spots from 61 to get him if needed. Not a fan of moving up, but I might here...🤔

Would heavily depend on the board, to me. I don’t think a backup 1T is a top 3 need, so I’m not sure if I’d even take him at 61, let alone move up for him. But yeah definitely like him as a player

I'm not thinking of him as a backup,  but more of a rotational piece and replacement for Star next year. Honestly,  I see anyone we draft this year as a rotational piece this year, other than CB or possibly OL. I just don't see any major holes. One can hope, but I am not sure a rookie is going to be better this year than what we already have.🤔

 Teams are so obsessed with the win now mentality, it makes you wonder if some of these guys who could be gems but need time will drop and be great value roster picks for the future.

Not just teams, but fans. Don't get me wrong, I am all for winning now, but also planning for the future.  One of the reasons why I really like what Beane did with FA. Truly allows for BPA and long term planning.

I like Michael Carter, RB, UNC a lot, moreso, than Etienne who I think is an overrated prospect.

 

I think Tyson Campbell is a terrific CB prospect who excels in both man & zone.  He'd be a slam dunk @ #30, but I actually don't think he'll be there.

 

Lastly, Amari Rodgers.  Love him, reminds me of Deebo Samuel, who I remember the Bills being keen on. #30 is a little early for him but I'm not sure he makes it to #61.

 

That's why I'm rooting for a trade down 10-20 spots so we end up with 4 picks in the top 94.
