Francis York Morgan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 And why I think he's the second best LEO prospect in the draft for us.No point explaining the rest of my opinion - the video should do that pretty well. With the possible trade down due to Noisegate (as much as we like to ignore it), Harold seems like a much more realistic pick for us, and I think he'd be a fantastic fit. Hope you guys enjoy!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXc5k9pwXAcPS: I accidentally listed his weight as 147 lbs instead of 247, and I said "horizontal" to the ground instead of "parallel." Minor things that bothered me, shouldn't affect the gist of the video though. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.EDIT: a few days later, not nearly as big of a fan. :/ still like his potential but wouldn't take him early.

freebird310 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Dont want him at first pick, sorry bro, pray for Beasley ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wokezone Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Needs to learn dicipline. Over plays. He could have increased his sack count by 6 or more if he had better dicipline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEIST Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Good video. Dat bend!He'd be my third LEO behind Vic and Gregory. But if we traded down he'd be a great pick. He quietly had a very solid combine and didn't pick up some steam like the other edge prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown bomber Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 He is the one guy I would try to trade back for if we went that route. He has moved up boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Maguire Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The potential is there. I could see a trade back and selecting him mid first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GET-ME-A-DB-TD Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I must say...Dude has some of the best body control I've seen. Beasley can't use his hands for shite and Ray doesn't have Harold's strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izo#2883 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 He has a great first step (2-3 actually) and an awesome way of using leverage and hands against offensive tackles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffro2000 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Anything is possible but at 8 he would be a reach. A trade back would be good.Can't forget that Pioli reached for Jackson @ 3 because of need. He knew it was a reach but needed him for the 3-4. If he feels we need a Leo, who knows. Much harder to trade down back then though. No one wanted to trade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTann Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Good video!I caught on to Harold about a month ago when I originally thought that he'd last to the second round but after watching more and more of him I realized that he's most likely going in the late first round. I want Beasley or Fowler. I like Shane Ray but his injury is a concern. I'm not sold on Gregory or Dupree at #8.An awesome scenario would be for Mariota to fall to #8 (I highly doubt that would happen) and Chip Kelly comes calling. Move back to #20 to select Eli Harold while picking up a fortune (It's Chip Kelly and Mariota---he'd probably give up more than what is necessary to grab his golden boy). Heck even if a team like KC, CLE, SF, or MIA wanted to jump ahead of St. Louis/Minnesota for White/Cooper.I didn't know that Harold is only 20 years old, he has a high ceiling. His burst and bend are already good. I think that our coaching staff could help him get better at using his length to create separation from blockers.

Sidecar Falcon Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Like Harold. If Fowler and Beasley are off the board by our pick, trade back, pick up Dupree and then Harold in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Needs to learn dicipline. Over plays. He could have increased his sack count by 6 or more if he had better diciplineI agree, overall. He did have several missed sacks. But everything is sooo easily coachable, especially for a guy with the drive he has.Moore, he is not who I want in the first, but your work on this is incredible, major props ....Thanks!I must say...Dude has some of the best body control I've seen. Beasley can't use his hands for shite and Ray doesn't have Harold's strengthYeah, he's so shifty, it's guys like him who are pretty much guaranteed to be better in the NFL than they were in college.Side note...originally was doing an analysis of Beasley, but there were too many good plays that he had, was hard not to include all of them. Then I tried Fowler, but he didn't have nearly as many that popped out...sadly. Then I said screw it, gonna do a player I really dig that no one seems to mention much. And after watching so many of his games I really came around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon82111 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Has a ton of potential if we trade back with the browns and get their two picks in the first then yeah i can see 1a.- Collins(Ala.)

Atlfanstckndenver Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Regardless of who we get in the first. Id be super excited to see Eli an Atlanta Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurtyBurdz155 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 He just needs a coach who knows what he is doing. Dude has so much potential. I would love to see him in red and black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 the one downside now on Eli is he seems to miss too much after beating his man. Definitely not a top 10 pick but if he fell into range to grab or slightly move up from 2nd rounder to nab someone to pair w/ Beasley or Gregory, I could get onboard that ride.At 20yrs old, he seems to have most room for improvement.

Potentially top 5 if he had both. He really needs to get better at not flying by the QB/RB, to just square his shoulders and not try to use his arms to snatch them. But the potential is huge. Trade down is the ideal for sure. After Ray and Gregory's recent stuff, just can't see Beasley at 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight outta Atlanta Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 If Beasley, Flower, and Gregory are gone, Eli would be a good trade back candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonDaLuvMaker Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Great job Falcan Moore!I've started really liking Harold as a trade back option as well.The guy is just as talented as the top edge rushers in the draft, he just needs someone to bring more of that ability out of him. I think Quinn and the new staff would do that for him.Even if Goodell does take a draft pick, the Falcons could still find a way to bolster the defense and even the offense with good young talent if they play the draft smart.
