I think they speakin on diff Collins.

One is referrin to LSU Collins to Cincy in rd 2, abouttime is just sayin he doesn't want Landon at 20, probably prefers a position other than Safety.


I think. Maybe I'm wrong. They'd need to clarify.

Not overly high on Landon.. I hate when we reach on guys because of need (see danny watkins)

I don't mind the marcus smith ii pick, because dude still has tremendous upside at either ILB or olb

Not overly high on him.. Think he's a product of bama's system.. If given the choice I would have rathered haha last year



I'd rather get an edge rusher at 20 if it came down to it.. Move marcus smith II to ILB and let him learn and develop there, then we can rush and cover from at least 3 out of 4 of our lb spots (barwin, Kendricks and smith)
 
I do not want to see Gurley in the NFC south unless he's wearing blue and silver.

Really hope panthers draft what they feel is the best player available. And try to go hard after Bulaga to seal up the LT spot.

ARIK ARMSTEAD IS AN IDEAL FIVE-TECH

Arik-Armstead.jpg


Throughout the history of the NFL Draft, one thing is consistent: teams love players with freakish size and athleticism, even if their actual football skills are questionable. Oregon’s Arik Armstead, listed at 6’8″ and 290 pounds, has been lobbed into this category by most draft analysts, and rightfully so. Though, Armstead is different in that he does not struggle in many areas that require him to learn new technique. Rather, Armstead is a raw football player that needs more snaps to develop a more natural feel for his 5-tech position. While he may never develop a smoother game, counting on him to simply play to develop rather than learn entirely new things is promising.

Arsmtead is a freak of nature. The man is built like you imagined Goliath was built when you were a kid, yet he moves much better than would be assumed from someone that size. His change of direction ability may be a bit lacking, but his predicated linear movements are scary.

When moving laterally, like when he attempts a ‘swipe’ move or a spin, Armstead is too quick for his size for opposing offensive linemen to be able to corral him. Sure, he is still a large target, but a man his size moving as quick as he does is not going to be controlled without very good technique and physical ability. One small slip from the lineman is enough for Armstead to win. Armstead’s speed in space is impressive as well, allowing him to chase down quarterbacks much better than 290 pounds should be able to.

.................


In the NFL, Armstead is going to be somewhere between Chris Canty and Calais Campbell, both of which are good players. Canty, the lower end of the spectrum, is an outstanding run defender who has moments of overpowering pass rushing, while Campbell is a consistently overpowering player in every facet of his game. Even if Armstead is not the best prospect in the class, guys like him don’t come around too often. Any team seeking a 5-tech defensive end should have Armstead at the top end of their draft board.

- Games watched: Kansas State (2014), Virginia (2014), Memphis (2014), Stanford (2014), Utah (2014), Washington (2013), Utah (2013), Nebraska (2013) -

Arm Accuracy: Shows the ability to place ball on hands of receivers on all 3 levels. Capable of placing ball in tight windows, even from improper platform. Inconsistencies caused by mechanical lapses.

Poise: Constantly handling heavy pressure from both interior and exterior gaps. Defenses show high blitz % in effort to force mistakes, very good at staying calm vs. pressure and escaping/delivering ball.

Decision Making: Can be guilty of tunnel vision in the pocket when under duress. Great decision maker on timing based throws and off primary read. Guilty of overextending plays in pocket; taking sacks.

Pocket Awareness: Excellent at feeling pressure and shifting or sliding in the pocket to extend plays. Shows ability and willingness to climb the ladder in the pocket.

Arm Strength: Has the arm strength to make any throw on the field. Effortless ability to push ball down field. Strong, flat trajectory in window throws and intermediate areas. Ball explodes out of hand.

Mechanics: Snaps wrist on follow through to spin footballs, shows appropriate leg swing through the trail leg and good shoulder/torso rotation. Lapses flash when rushing delivery with heavy traffic.

Anticipation: Willing to throw the football quickly to beat free runners and blitzes. Throws sideline breaking throws on time. Strong ability to quickly ID primary read out of the snap.

Progressions: Can take extra half second to move on from covered primary reads. Likes to work half the field with his eyes on levels but is capable of utilizing full field of play.

Footwork: Can have lapses in crispness out of gun. Light, nimble feet. Appropriately steps to target, good weight transition. Resets feet on platform through progression with good, not great consistency.

Run Ability: Extremely dangerous, dynamic athlete from the pocket. Has a package of QB draws to punish overaggressive defenses. Great open field vision. Also has a huge frame; difficult to bring down.

Summary: Brett Hundley has performed at an extremely high level despite questionable talent surrounding him on the UCLA offense. Hundley will make some poor plays trying to make too much happen, but sub-par supporting cast has also helped prove ability to extend plays and handle pressure. Outstanding upside; has a skill set to be considered a Day 1 starter for a Quarterback hungry team.
