AZ54 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 He's getting a lot of good press at the Senior Bowl (NFL Network analysts had a lot of good things to say about him) and from what little I've seen he's pretty athletic. He is not, however, Jamal Adams or Malik Hooker. That much is apparent within the first few plays watching him. Still he has some good coverage skills and looks every bit the part of a guy who can cover TEs well but I don't see him handling quicker slot WRs like Adams can, nor does he have the elite speed Hooker has. Just someone to keep an eye on when we get to the combine. http://www.walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2017rumors4.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His athleticism and production should be enough for an early day 3 pick. If he keeps getting good press at the senior bowl, he's likely gone in round 2.

lemonej Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I agree with you both on this player and think if you go this route he becomes that hybrid Safety/ LB player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isnt any secrets anymore, all the info is out there for every time to know players talents. He would be a nice 3 rd pick, but probably goes earlier.

All of our round 4-5 gems get elevated after this board promotes them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 100% convinced of it. Far too often over the years an idea or player has been suggested here, and a week later there is a matching article somewhere.

Wish I would have saved a post I wrote 6-8 years ago and the next day my whole thought was in the tribune or suntimes but without credit. As for prospects, I think we have some good eyes in here and many draftsites and newspapers search these forums out. Here is to the Bearstalk ghost writers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, your advice to select McCellin sure worked out......jk. I would say a large portion of the media uses forums, blogs, and discussion boards to find nuggets of information. Why do all the analysis when someone else already has? If the info has not been previously published by a media outlet, they take the info for their own and post it. I believe there was a writer even caught doing that where the info he was posting was basically a straight copy off someone's blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can put up a new thread and there might be 30 or 40 views before one of you complains about it. There's a lot of people who stroll through here and say nothing. I've said it before, if I were in their shoes I'd be scouting around for ideas on what to write about too. If nothing else you can at least get a sense of what the fan base is thinking.
