http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=feldman_bruce&id=4174191 Bailey is an absolute FREAK.
Robert Griffin could revolutionize the game - an accurate quarterback that runs in the 4.3s... Absolutely ridiculous potential.
I'll be watching Baylor as well. Griffin could pass for 2000 yards and rush for 1000 more. As a true freshman, Griffin accounted for 28 total touchdowns and just 3 turnovers. He's only going to get better... The Bears have had very good back-to-back recruiting classes. They're not on the same level as Texas or Oklahoma, and they'll most likely never be, but the time he's done with college, Griffin could lead the Bears to a Big 12 title game.
"And perhaps the only things more impressive than Mays' highlight reel of brutal hits are the numbers the 6-foot-3, 238-pound Trojan puts up in the USC strength program. Mays vertical jumps 41 inches, does a standing broad jump of 11 feet and 4 inches, can bench-press 225 pounds 29 times and in the spring of 2008 ran an electronically timed 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds. He didn't get timed in the 40 this spring because coaches didn't want to risk his pulling a muscle." Can you imagine him and Kerry Rhodes? If Mays goes to a team whose defense is already good he could push their defense up to the level of being legendary, like the '85 Bears.
If Taylor Mays is around for the Jets' pick, it would be a no-brainer to select him...I don't think that will happen though - Taylor Mays should be top ten pick. I'm still hoping that Emanuel Cook gets his head on straight. The kid can play...if he gets it together, he'll make this team and eventually replace Jim Leonhard.
That very well could be true. Which speaks volumes about this draft class as Mays isn't even the best S prospect. RB, WR, DL, LB, S are all extremely stacked in my opinion. I'm already counting the days..
We need a Safety next year. Whether it be Berry, Mays, Wright, Burnett, or Williams, we need a Safety.
It's not that serious. Rhodes is here to stay and Jim Leonhard will be able to hold the fort. I have faith in Emanuel Cook...signing him as a UDFA could pay off big time. This team needs to build depth on the defensive line. Ellis, Douglas, and Jenkins are all over 30. 2010 should be filled with tons of 3-4 talent. The Jets need to select a defensive end or nose tackle early in 2010.
Agree with this. Our DB's are looking set for at least a year or two unless Leonhard bombs out. Our D-line and O-line both need Quality depth adressed very soon.
Jets need to add DL depth More than any other position. Jenkins is only getting older and Ellis is already old. Douglass is in his thirties as well. They need to add probably 2 guys in next year's draft. Or hope one of the UFA's like Zach Potter can surprise.
Allen Bailey is a real freak he'll be a great 3-4 prospect in next years draft as a de. I dont know much about Griffin but 4.3 as a qb thats crazy i wonder how good his arm is though.
He's smart with the football - Griffin set a FBS record by starting his career with 209 consecutive pass attempts before he threw his first interception. Griffin is one of the most dangerous running quarterbacks that I have ever seen. He's on the same level as Michael Vick and Eric Crouch. This is his highlight reel. He shows legitimate arm strength and accuracy. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4EXHy6WLLQ[/youtube]
I kinda look Cook, but I'm not so sure about Leohnard. He's just ok IMO. I'd love to see us upgrade that other Safety position next to Kerry. Morgan Burnett or Deunta Williams would be good options. 1) WR (Bryant/Benn/Williams) 2) S (Burnett/Williams) 3) DL That'd be a good way to go.
Disagree. There should be better options than Burnett in the 2nd. And getting one of the top DL would be way more valuable. I would like: 1) DL 2) WR 3) DL
As you like to say, let's not over-hype a prospect. Griffin is no where near as dangerous as Vick running the ball. Griffin has great straight-line speed, aside from one stop juke in his highlight reel Griffin's runs are all getting to the outside and running straight ahead using his 4.3 speed. Yes he is very fast and that makes him an effective scrambler, but saying he is on the same level as Vick is absurd, and I'm not particularly fond of Vick so you can't say being a Falcons fan biases my opinion. Vick could turn a seemingly unavoidable sack into a 60 yard rushing TD. He could make people miss in the open field with jukes and cuts and did it consistently. [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Odak07h9ic[/YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf8J1OR76yc[/YOUTUBE] Griffin is a decent NFL QB prospect with interesting tools, he certainly won't revolutionize the game. He's got a decent arm and above average accuracy, and top-end sprinter speed. He'll break a run if he gets a sideline and good blocking, but he won't make room for himself like Vick did. The best pro prospects on that lists are Mays and Bailey. Griffin, as of now, is just what the title of the article says he is: a workout warrior.
Over-hyping him? I'm not saying he's going to be a big time pro-passer. He has all the potential in the world to be a great college quarterback. He was a true freshman on a team that's a perenial bottom-feeder in the Big 12. Vick was a two year starter at VT - Once again, Griffin is a true freshman - What does it matter if Griffin gets outside and gets up the field? He's still picking up yardage, right? Vick totalled 38 TDs in two seasons as a starter...on a much better team - a team that lost 2 games in two seasons. Griffin totalled 28 TDs as a true...on a team full of mediocrity - a team that hasn't gone to a bowl game in god knows how long. Not at all - his stats show that he is a legitimate college quarterback that just happens to be very, very fast. It sounds to me like you're knocking him for...being...fast. A Baylor team led by RG3 barely lost to Mizzou (31-28), Texas Tech (35-28), and UCONN (31-28). If the Bears' defense had an ounce of the talent that a Mike Vick VT team had, Griffin would have led Baylor to a bowl game. Griffin broke a FBS record by attempting 209 consecutive passes with out throwing an interception. He's okay in my book...
and again griffin is not simply a workout warrior. he looks like he might be the first LEGIT scrambling qb with a LEGIT nfl arm. (not AMAZING arm, but definitely good enough if hes coached right) i catch some baylor games every year. and yea the difference over the years and having him on the field is night and day long as they give him at least one or two more solid weapons he will bring Baylor into relevance.
