Any defensive players from Baylor or West Virginia worth looking at?
Haha – perhaps not!
Geno Smith: Besides the stats, his downfield accuracy is a thing of beauty.
Tavon Austin: explosive playmaker.
Terrence Williams: intriguing WR.
Ogletree: very intriguing guy. Could see the Hawks loving him on defense. Long athlete.
Ya i saw Ogletree at 6’5. he’s interesting but i haven’t been focusing on him really. Need to see how well he moves around.
This is the second time I’ve seen Patterson drop an easy touchdown pass.
Shelden Richardson had a BEASTLY game vs. UCF. The Knights pushed Mizzou around in the first half, freezing the LBs with a lot of misdirection and some sweet play action ball-handling. Richardson was still good. In the 2nd half he had a couple takeover drives.
Very interesting prospect – put some of his tape on the blog a few days ago. This is turning into a killer defensive tackle group for 2013. Best position for R1 depth.
Yup. He was better vs. Georgia. Played with more power. Vs. SCar Dave Steckel moved him around a LOT more, showcasing the versatility.
BTW…
Scratch Cordarrelle Patterson of the list. Way too many mistakes, drops, and plays flat out lazy. Guy has unreal potential and physical skills but plays like his mom told him he had to. Disappointed with his play.
That drop on the deep ball was absolutely horrendous. Ugh. Talk about a reality check the last two weeks on this guy.
It’s kinda sad. His talent pops off the screen, but it doesn’t matter if you flat out don’t care. Good call on the lack of maturity btw. It’s early, but I dont think I want him anywhere near the Hawks roster.
Then Patterson does that…shaking my head.
That’s the other side of Patterson! So raw.
Rob, what are your thoughts on Alec Ogletree? Looks like a PC/JS type of defender.
Like him a lot. Legit NFL linebacker.
Tyler Bray seems pretty schitzo (as a prospect I mean).
He actually reminds me a good bit of Jeff George, who was Jay Cutler waaaay before Jay Cutler.
His slingy motion makes him pretty inaccurate at times. Add to that his footwork can get sloppy. AND… the “eff you” throws. The “eff you” throws.
But he’s got first round tools, that’s for doggone sure.
Aaron Murray just keeps chugging along. I like him more and more.
Not keen on the ‘throw off the back foot with no balance’ he seems to do way too often.
