You guys have a lot to be proud of, the loss of Greg S was probably a good thing. I'm glad College Football is alive and well in the NY/NJ Metro area. I live in Ohio and the State of NJ is very close/equal to the quality of High School football players.
I fucking love this kid. Ever since I watched him in the WVU game, its been all she wrote. Serious man-crush over here. The kid is fast, physical, uses his body well, demands the ball in big spots, and doesn't give a fuck who he's up against, he is coming down with the ball. I know we just drafted Stephen Hill, and probably will not be in a position to draft Williams, but I fucking want this guy in Green and White. The way he just demanded the rock late in the game against West Virginia was insane. He basically said, give me the damn ball, and we are going to score and get back in this game. I believe he had 5 receptions for 78 yards and a TD on that drive alone. I want to say he had like 338 yards receiving on 15 receptions for the day. Williams honestly reminds me of everything Braylon Edwards could have been coming out of college. The size, speed physicality, ability to win a jump ball, is just on another level of normal humans.
Yeah, the amount of talent that comes out of NJ to the D1 college football pool is ridiculous! I'm hoping if we can finish in the top 10 at the end of the season we can try to corner some of that market. Penn state is already losing out on a lot of the HS prospects. I always wondered.. are you a fan of a particular college team, or do you like to follow all of the players/teams?
I know people keep saying Star is a top 3 pick, but guys like Poe and Ngata went in the 8-13 range if my memory serves me right. My only thinking is we all want a OLB but what if he was already on the team. Stand Q up, I think thats how Rex worked him out before the draft, Davis takes over for Bart and draft Star. I might be wrong seeing as I dont get to watch many games being stationed in Europe.
With watching how Minn is using Harvin this year and he is becoming one of the biggest weapons in the NFL, were do you guys see the kid from WVU(I think is Austin) going/is he an option for us in the second?
Star is rated much higher than Ngata and Poe going into their drafts. We have no shot at Star we won't be drafting in the top 3.
Poe was the most overrated/overdrafted player in the draft... He shouldnt have gone nearly that high. He was drafted their solely on upside and not his play on the football field. Suh and Gerald McCoy were drafted in the top 3 and I think we'll see something similar with Star I personally love Austin. He is exactly what we lack- a playmaker. He can line up in the slot (now that Kerley has proven he can play on the outside) and cause havoc. If we could get him in the 2nd or 3rd that would be great, although I think RB in the 2nd is a bigger need.
One of the quickest & most violent first steps you'll ever find in a prospect. He has a chance to be an even better prospect than Suh was.
Get Dion Jordan in there. Watched him cover a slot receiver the other night, freakish athlete, looks like he should be playing for the Miami Heat, not the Oregon Ducks.
Great list WW85 but after today emotional and leadership shown by Manti Te'o he has sneaked past Jarvis Jones for being the best defensive player in football. Jones had a great day but Te'o has fought through adversity and was absolute money in a big game vs the Sooners.
At this point I think both are a lock to be top 7 picks. Where Te'o and Jones go just depends on what that certain team needs. Both are incredible talents.
Yeah, we can say bye bye to that pipe dream. Someone is gonna draft this MAN and have one of the best players in the league commanding their defense within a few years.
Updated my Top 25 after Saturday's games No surprise Lattimore has been removed. Jonathan Banks had an awful game and has fallen about 9 spots. X Rhodes enters my top 25. No need to change my #2 Jones & #3 Te'o, they proved to College football they should be ranked at the top. Both had incredible games, can't miss prospects.
I happen to think that Xavier Rhodes is incredibly overrated. I know FSU won big, and Rhodes held Conner Vernon to three catches for twelve yards, but I was specifically watching that match up yesterday while watching FSU vs. Duke. I distinctly remember a play where Rhodes got beat badly and tried to recover by pulling Vernon down, Vernon made a sick catch that later was determined that the ball hit the ground. Still, I think Rhodes gets overrated because of his size and his school. Just looking at the stats doesn't tell the whole story. If Rhodes didn't clearly pull Vernon down, Vernon would have had a walk in TD for about 60 yards. He would have had 4 catches for about 72 yards with a TD, and it won't look like Rhodes played that well. I don't know, maybe I am making a big deal over nothing, but I have never been a fan of Rhodes. I think he is overrated, maybe thats just me though.
