Mongo3451 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yes we are much different in evaluation. For me character is a trump card and can easily remove a player from my board and I don't care how well he can play. I don't have a disagreement about film being a better evaluation than running in shorts. I just disagree that Lazard looked fast on film. It's what you saw when you watched him play so that's ok. I won't change my opinion that how well he runs largely determines what round he gets drafted in because I think it's the only real question mark there is regarding his ability as a WR. I might never be able to prove that but for now he's more or less listed as the 25th best WR. We'll see how that goes. If he runs poorly and goes undrafted or late Day 3 then I think it's fair to say a 1000yd receiver from the Big 12 was affected by his poor forty/shuttle/3-cone times. Scouts have already seen a lot of what they wanted to know at the Senior Bowl practices. Between now and the combine we'll see if he rises a bit on some of boards out there. I hope he does. I've never seen a second of film on him. That's the main thing a slow guy needs. One thing about good film, it doesn't lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Adding Kemoko Turay to my little watch list. He fits OLB mold for us and is likely a late Rd draft pick but right now his draft stock is so low he could end up UDFA. He has a lot of athleticism but is stout enough to set the edge. He battled some injuries (torn labrum) in college and for those who want lots of sacks he was used a lot in coverage so the numbers weren't there, and he's still raw as a pass rusher. He's headed to the Senior Bowl and Combine so we'll know more soon. http://draftbreakdown.com/2017/12/10/kemok...gan-state-2017/ Looks like Turay turned some heads at the Senior Bowl practices: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/se...allen-and-more/ Where'd that come from? Rutgers outside linebacker Kemoko Turay had an up-and-down collegiate career plagued by injuries. His best statistical output came as a freshman in 2014 when he tallied 8.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. His film was generally underwhelming, with a rare flash of pass-rushing brilliance. At the Senior Bowl, his explosion and bend around the edge was nearly unbelievable at times, particularly for someone a shade north of 6-foot-4 and 252 pounds. And that outstanding display of athleticism didn't happen once or twice. He was dominant often in practice and created pressure in the game. For perspective on Turay's physical profile, he has close to the same height and weight measurements as underrated 49ers defensive end Aaron Lynch.

A riser in talent and fits in someone's scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingtwig Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Sometimes they just grow into it as they mature. A riser in talent and fits in someone's scheme. Yup we've seen this so often. For whatever reason they don't do much in college but then the light goes on in the NFL. I'd love for us to be able to develop that for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ade Aruna. OLB candidate for late on Day 3, might even be a UDFA. Has the traits but is very raw. Stats won't match up since he apparently was moved inside in 2017. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2756155...-all-star-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind a 5th or later pick put on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm starting to like this guy the more and more I research him. Could be a great mid-round steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm starting to like this guy the more and more I research him. Could be a great mid-round steal. I heard an interesting name today. Rickie James /WR /Middle Tenn St 5'9" 180 and a speed burner. Strong for size and a playmaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling Good speed, but better quickness. Can make catches through contact which bodes well for a guy who will have some learning to do at the next level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTbL5h1xDZY Have to credit Steve Smith with throwing his name out there: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000091...xcited-to-watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I heard an interesting name today. Rickie James /WR /Middle Tenn St 5'9" 180 and a speed burner. Strong for size and a playmaker. Good find. I like him a lot. He doesn't look to have elite speed but he's fast enough. His quickness and cuts at speed are ridiculous, somewhat similar to Cohen. Love the hands too with some tough catches in traffic and knows how to go get the ball. If he can return kicks he'd be a good addition as someone who can trade off snaps with Cohen. Or just go spread offense with one on each side. Richie James This will give a better indication of what he'll look like on an NFL field. It's 2016 but I don't think he's not faster in 2017, probably was stronger. http://draftbreakdown.com/2017/07/14/richie-james/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Tre'Quan Smith. (and yes I'm scouting WR's today) Looks like he has potential to be a solid #2 in the future.

AZ54 Posted April 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Adding Ryan Nall to my list. Productive inside runner who can catch. He's not very elusive but has great strength, balance, and drive after contact. Expected to be a UDFA but he's a guy I wouldn't mind keeping around on the practice squad.

BearFan2000 Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Like what I see in the video. He looks like he runs with good vision, has good body control, protects the ball, and I like that he doesn't go down easy. Has a little make ya miss in him. If we can pick him up as a UDFA or with a late pick he looks like someone who could develop in this offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
