draft master

kastofsna is the better w/reports, but he's not a master. I don't really know about the other guy who was going in this thread but I stopped valuing his opinion after he said branch was undersized and under 300lbs. Branch is a mamoth. He was probally refering to Woodly who will most likely be converted into a 3-4 OLB/pass rushing demon.

I fancy myself a draft nerd, but this thread is doing ok w/out too much of my opinion.
 
Those analysis don't give much info about the player IMO. "good speed", "good initial burst". Everyone in the NFL has to have good speed. If you want to play on the O or D line you need a good initial burst. I dont know...seems like you could say these things about most any player (most any player you want to know more about anyway)...and they are very obvious to see.

When I hear analysis I expect a projection to how the player will play in the NFL. "Good speed" and "good hand-eye coordination" doesn't tell me squat about the player other than that he has the absolute minimum needed to MAKE IT TO THE NFL.
 
I just find it amusing that any one person could ever fancy themselves as a draft master or draft expert. It's simply too tough for one person to do unless they have an entire staff of scouts that can look at all of the available talent for a given draft.

Draftniks or draft nerds are plentiful. Some know more than others, but can't really see how anyone can call themselves a draft master or draft expert with a straight face. Just a little pet peeve of mine. Carry on draftniks.
 
Seriously though what happened to the first draft master. I think kastofsna scared him off.

You gotta have a little more in the bag than a name to get Kosftranostra.
He lost me at the Brach quotes to. He got on my wrong side picking on my guy.

That is why I only insinuated myself to be a draft nerd and not a draft master.

Coach C. and Mork used to do a pretty good series of write-ups regarding prospects.
 
JaMarcus Russell
Pros: Huge, cannon arm, good mobility, not easy to take down, has good instincts in the pocket, still young and has a lot to learn, played in good offense
Cons: Will make head-scratching mistakes, not the most sound mechanics, has probably lost more games than one should with all that talent
NFL Comparison: Daunte Culpepper
 
ya know, these aren't very detailed scouting reports. i apologize for that. i'll make a huge write-up for each player later.
 
slaton is a sophomore, he's not eligible for the draft.

Anthony Spencer
Pros: Good athlete, good technique, a student of the game, could start immediately anywhere in the NFL, pretty good in the running game.
Cons: Not very big, gets overpowered by some bigger tackles, may have to move to the OLB spot in a 3-4, or even bulk up and move inside, but moving outside just begs for more questions, such as his ability in coverage.
NFL Comparison: Al Singleton
 
Gotta go with the boys from the REAL UT.

Erik Ainge QB

Robert Meachem WR

Justin Harrell DT

Wildcard: I know hes not coming out this year but Earl Bennett form Vanderbilt.
 
ainge is going nowhere. meachem is declaring if he's ruled a 1st rounder by the draft committee, and there's certainly no reason to think he won't be; i think he ultimately, after a great combine, goes ahead of jarrett and after ginn. i personally think he's the 3rd-4th best WR in this draft.

Robert Meachem
Pros: Great size, great speed, showed great improvement this past year, proved to be effective everywhere on the field, great routes.
Cons: Has had a tendency to drop passes.
NFL Comparison: Javon Walker

Justin Harrell
Pros: Good size and good strength, clogs up the interior very well against the run, good athlete for his size, is the definition of a true gamer and warrior, playing through injury in the biggest game of his career.
Cons: Not a huge threat in the backfield, the injury to his bicep might be pretty serious and could hurt his ability to break at the line, not as dominating as you would hope he'd be.
NFL Comparsion: Gabe Watson
 
Lets change it up a bit Mr Draft Master

Please list ,with a brief analysis of each, who the top Safeties are in the draft.
 
I know he is not in the draft but I would like to hear what you have to say about.

Limas Sweed 6'5 219

Andre Johnson 6'3 219

The two of them togeth would be really fun to watch. I really hope we can somehow get him next year as Mould's replacement.

Stacey Thomas -Safety, Texas Southern University

I didn't get any response about Stacey Thomas -Safety, Texas Southern University. I thought the Draft Masters said give a name and they would provide us with analysis. Well, I did provide a name and now I'm still waiting for the analysis. Atleast, acknowledge my post and tell me you don't know anything about the guy, if that is the case.
 
STEEL BLUE TEXANS said:
Brian Leonard, as a FB and RB prospect.
Click to expand...

Pros: fast at FB, strong and good blocker as a RB, good receiver
Cons: slow at TB, ok strength and blocker as a FB,
Analysis: I see him more as a 3rd RB in the NFL, unless in the right system.
NFL player: BJ Askew (but lighter, faster and a better receiver)
 
hey anyone got questions about college players that are eligible for the draft reviews are here for all who ask.

or if you want to ask who the texans should pick in a certain round also works as well.
 
not sure how you could prove yourself, you've done enough damage with some of the earlier comments.

i'll make it easy: brady quinn.
 
Free Safety we seriously need to look at: Buckle brought him up in another thread. (maybe a 2nd, 3rd rounder?...)

Leonard Peters, FS, Hawaii.
 
Mike Jones was the QB at my highschool, dated my friend too. From what I hear he's real high character type. Doesn't party, concentrates on baseball, football, school and stuff. She said scouts told him he'd be a high pick in baseball if he came out this year.
 
Funny how just because he favors Cullpepper from a distance he has to have small hands. I wonder when he measured him...or sniffed him for that matter.
 
It's a new tradition at the early scouting combine. QB's that smell of cabbage get points deducted, but if they smell like potato salad, they're guaranteed to go in the first day.

If I'm not mistaken the cabbage reference was to a line in the 3rd Austin Powers movie, I'm guessing it's meant as a joke here.

Brady Quinn
Pros: good arm, good accuracy, a leader, has played in some big games, durable (has taken hits for all 4 years in college)
cons: doesnt always show up in the big games, not the fastest QB, doesnt always recognize blitzs.
player: mark bulger or carson palmer

Leonard Peters, FS, Hawaii.
Click to expand...

Pros: strong, decent cover FS, decent size
cons: not too fast for a FS
analysis: probably meant to be a SS in the NFL, probably a 3rd round pick at best, 5th round at worst. Has a good upside at SS though, would probably only be an ok FS.
player like: adam archuelata(sp) or troy poumalo(sp)
 
i skipped over 2 pages so you guys may have already went over some of these guys but what about:

Lamar Woodley
Daymeion Hughes

& Kastofna, is your NFL comparison what they could become or where you think their skill level is currently at?
