Official 2015 NFL Draft Thread

[CP1708]

Reading through the 2014 draft thread... Buc Em didn't like Teddy Bridgewater.

I haven't heard a word about Teddy Bridgewater in like a month. And this dude is supposed to be a top 5 pick. Still ain't sold on him.

I really don't see what's so special about him. He's solid but I don't see him threading the needle on much passes and doing anything that jumps out enough for him to be an unquestioned top 3 pick. His conference is absolutely awful this year and he still hasn't put up that amazing of numbers this year. Most of the touchdowns I've seen him throw have been to LITERALLY wide open receivers. Like nobody was within 5 yards of whoever he was throwing to. Not sure if it's the offense Louisville runs or if that's just how bad their opponents have been this year.

I wonder if Savage to Nuk is the new Brady to Moss?

 

[stillin729]

Texans can have Nick Foles for a 3rd rounder

 

[IATT]

Since Mariota will be there at #5, Chip should trade the #20 and their 2nd round pick to the skins to move up...

only a 2nd..

Word from the Senior Bowl; if he's available for them the Atlanta Falcons like Shane Ray/DE/Mizzou a lot.

Tony Pauline @TonyPauline  ·  16h 16 hours ago
Belief here in Mobile is Winston and Eddie Goldman on 1st round prospects from FSU. People very down on Mario Edwards.

@TonyPauline pj williams??

Tony Pauline ‏@TonyPauline  16h16 hours ago
@AndrewPRafferty likely no chance. Did not play well and character issues.

 

[HNL HI]

Can't believe all these dudes who dropped out of the senior bowl.

Reading through the 2014 draft thread... Buc Em didn't like Teddy Bridgewater.

Now he doesn't like Marcus Mariota. The Buc Em Effect is going to happen again.

Flourish, MM8.

i had that same opinion of him even before his last season at Louisville...I was just early on the slander bus that came from tons of other scouts when it came time to actually draft the guy. He's still not anything amazing, but he damn sure looks waaaay better than any other quarterback in his class. He's in a good situation though...good fanbase, good talent on both sides of the ball and very good coaching staff with Zimmer and Norv Turner. They also don't really have any troublemakers in that locker room that could **** up his development.

#61 Indianapolis Colts: Duke Johnson, RB, Miami
The Colts have to address the running back position. Trent Richardson is garbage, while Ahmad Bradshaw can't be relied upon to stay healthy.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Agree with everything in that statement. Would be a great pickup.

[COLOR=#red]wow... that would be HUGE...[/COLOR]

Would be a great pickup.

yup..

I think duke is going to be the goods in the league

[gunna get it]

For Nick to not have played a lot, he got his head around and contested that ball better than most CBs I've seen this year.


My guy Kevin White (TCU CB) looking solid.

Miami (FL)'s Phillip Dorsett & KSU Tyler Lockett -- two smaller WRs with electric short area quickness + foot speed. Shined in 1v1s.

Phillip Dorsett out of Miami is having a huge day. Elite speed. #Eagles

Jaguars TE coach Ron Middleton is losing his mind over TE Clive Walford. Every time Walford runs a route Middleton is yelling praise.

Todd McShay ‏@McShay13 2h2 hours ago
Miami WR Phillip Dorsett absolutely flies!

Charlie Campbell ‏@DraftCampbell 1h1 hour ago
Miami WR Philip Dorsett is dominating the South defensive backs. None can run with him. Excellent speed, route-running and hands.

Clive Walford/TE/Miami, beautiful reception down the seam for a big gainer.

Miami TE Clive Walford putting on a show in Mobile right now.

Matt Bowen ‏@MattBowen41 2h2 hours ago
WR Phillip Dorsett (Miami) is electric in the 3-step passing game. No wasted movement in his route/break.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout 2h2 hours ago
I want Phillip Dorsett on my team. So explosive off the line and he doesn't drop the ball.

Matt Bowen ‏@MattBowen41 2h2 hours ago
CB Ladarius Gunter (Miami) displayed the best technique during 1-on-1s. Played to hip of WRs and used leverage to drive on the ball.

Bruce Feldman ‏@BruceFeldmanCFB 2h2 hours ago
Between Clive Walford, Phillip Dorsett, Perryman & Anthony Chickillo, #Canes SRs really shining in all-star games the past 2 weeks.

I ******* hate you Al Golden.

Quentin Rollins has had a great showing at CB too. Heard that he's Mike Tomlin's guy here. Stock keeps climbing

Ian Wharton ‏@NFLFilmStudy 2h2 hours ago
Been a strong afternoon practice for Sammie Coates. Really playing with improved physicality underneath. Just gotta catch it consistently

Alex Brown ‏@OS_AlexBrown 2h2 hours ago
Trey Flowers and Markus Golden performed very well in 7 on 7 run. Leverage, body positioning, violent hands to disengage.

Jeff Risdon ‏@JeffRisdon 2h2 hours ago
Ty Sambrailo very awkward getting to second level, no vision for targets. Seeing it a lot whenever he's asked to move. Not a zbs fit at all.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout 2h2 hours ago
If you need a quarterback and you can't get Winston or Mariota, I'm sorry.

Victor Cotto ‏@cottovic 2h2 hours ago
Two University of Miami talents #Raiders scouts have nice grades on: TE Clive Walford, RB Duke Johnson...prospects Oakland are locking in on

:x

 

[HNL HI]

lol sup with the shade?

 

[Deleted member 37754]

[COLOR=#red]Yea... Golden just doesn't have his sh-t together... he recruits amazing players and then has no idea what to do with them. Said that one for years.

Two guys I've been eying for the Dolphins as well... Quentin Rollins (mentioned) and Ladarius Gunter. Will be later picks, both productive and huge. Great feet on both...

Clive will be a monster, So will Wheeler in the slot, so will Duke, so will Perryman.

Sure will say... Duke is the best RB in the draft, Perryman is the best linebacker.[/COLOR]

Between Lockett, Crowder, Hardy, and Dorsett. It's a slot WR show down here at mobile. NFL teams won't have trouble finding slot CBs this yr

Mike Loyko @NEPD_Loyko · 6h 6 hours ago
TJ Clemmings was up and down again today. I've noticed when his reps are good, they're really good. When he gets beat, he gets beat bad.

Mike Loyko @NEPD_Loyko · 7h 7 hours ago
#Duke WR Jamison Crowder with another strong practice. Definitely had #giants scouts and others buzzing in stands.

Mike Loyko @NEPD_Loyko · 2h 2 hours ago
#LSU OT La'El Collins showing other top prospects that showing up in Mobile doesn't hurt their stock. Cream rises to the top.

Mike Loyko @NEPD_Loyko · 1h 1 hour ago
La'El Collins has shown me he can play LT. I can only imagine how good he could be by moving him inside to Guard for a year or two.

The Miami football program has been mediocre in recent years, but the Hurricanes continue to pump out NFL talent, including tight end Clive Walford, wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, cornerback Ladarius Gunter and middle linebacker Denzel Perryman on the South squad at the Senior Bowl. And during Wednesday's practice, that talent shined bright.

A prospect who stole the show during South practice, Walford routinely drew praise from the Jaguars coaching staff for his routes, athleticism and ability to finish at the catch point. He has an easy release off the line of scrimmage with the route acceleration to threaten the seam and be a downfield target. Warford doesn't have an elite frame for the position, but he knows how to use his size to shield defenders from the ball and create mismatches down the field.

Warford entered the week in contention to be the No. 1 senior tight end drafted and he's only helped his chances of that happening through two practices in Mobile. He has looked “as advertised” from his Miami game film.

The favorite to run the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine next month, Dorsett has “blur” speed to make defensive backs look silly. He has shown that sudden footwork at the line of scrimmage to beat press and the instant acceleration to win vertically downfield. Dorsett routinely won 1-on-1 drills against the South defensive backs, including his former teammate Gunter.

However, there is such a thing as playing too fast and Dorsett will do that at times, losing footing or getting wild in his breaks. Nonetheless, he has the game-changing speed to not only make an impact on offense, but also as a return man once he adds seasoning and polish to his game.

Gunter is one of the bigger corners in Mobile this week at 6-1 and 200 pounds with 32-inch arms, but he's shown the foot quickness that match much smaller players, moving very well for his size. He uses his length to contest any pass in his area code, blanketing receivers and impressing with his cover skills. Like most bigger cornerbacks, Gunter does need some refinement with his transitional technique, but overall, he has showed scouts more positives than negatives this week.

Unfortunately Perryman had to pull out of the Senior Bowl after a strained abdomen muscle on Wednesday. But his performance on Tuesday was enough to create a little buzz in the bleachers among scouts.

Miami finished with a 6-7 record in 2014, but after Anthony Chickillo, Jon Feliciano and Shane McDermott played well at the East-West Shrine Game last week and these four Hurricanes in Mobile, its clear there was more talent in Coral Gables than the record gives them credit. And that doesn't include Miami's top two prospects in the 2015 NFL Draft class – underclassmen running back Duke Johnson and offensive tackle Ereck Flowers.



Other Wednesday South practice notes:

TCU cornerback Kevin White has been routinely known as the “other” Kevin White this season, possessing the same name as the West Virginia standout receiver who is a projected top-15 draft pick. But the former Horned Frog is making a name for himself in Mobile and making sure everyone takes notice. White has played sticky coverage in practice with excellent coordination and footwork to flip his hips and redirect his momentum on the move. He did get beat vertically at times, but he showed the recovery speed to gain ground, find the football and break up the play.

Alabama quarterback Blake Sims' performance through two practices has mirrored much of how his senior season went – some struggles, but more good than bad. He tends to get in a funk at times and his confidence drops, but when in rhythm, Sims has looked like the best quarterback in Mobile at times. He buzzed accurate passes all over the field and didn't shy from making tough reads, testing downfield windows and not just checking down during seven-on-seven drills. Sims is one of the top-three quarterback prospects at the 2015 Senior Bowl.

**** you Al Golden. **** you so much.

 

[mr marcus]

Wow


Golden couldn't utlize all that talent
