    Got my 1st look at Ark St OLB D. Davis. Needs to be more consistent as a tackler but has a lot of potential w/ size, AA and range. 3-down LB

    Finishing Kentucky DS Winston Guy Tough athletic and good instincts Like versatility both in terms of position and what they asked him to do

  • McShay13 Todd McShay
    Studying safeties last 48 hours. After Mark Barron/Harrison Smith, there are too many height-weight-speed pageant winners that can't tackle

  • Kevin_Weidl Kevin Weidl
    WVU CB Keith Tandy, balanced, instinctive and tough. However, lacks explosive movement skills and can't close.

  • Kevin_Weidl Kevin Weidl
    See nothing more than a 3rd down PR specialist in WVUs B. Irvin. Lacks instincts to play standing up + too slight to anchor against the run

  • McShay13 Todd McShay
    Pumped Baylor Pro Day moved up. Now great 3-day swing with Texas 20th, Baylor 21st (RGIII/WR Wright), Stanford 22nd (Luck, Martin, Decastro)

    Vernon Davis only TE drafted in 1st 19 picks last 7 yrs. Won't see streak broken this yr, but 3 good options top50 w/ Fleener, Charles,Allen

  • McShay13 Todd McShay
    On tape3 of UGA TE Charles. Smaller frame, needs polish as blocker and some routes. But explosive athl with natural hands and savvy vs press
    1 day ago     
  • Kevin_Weidl Kevin Weidl
    As for Menzie, I like his instincts, discipline + toughness but question if he can run. Had issues staying w/ more sudden wr on tape.

  • Kevin_Weidl Kevin Weidl
    Continuing to study CBs on tape. Finished up Trevin Wade and DeQuan Menzie. Wade flashes but too inconsistent on tape.
