DarrellShropshire Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 He's built like a heavier randy gregory. Just saw a pic of him. Freakishly long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 We always get excited by players in the supplemental draft. At least this one has been productive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 6'6, 245 is a bit on the light side actually. Where do you think he'd fit in this defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Falcon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bet he's slow and not as quick as Gregory. May have a learning disability or just be dumb also. 3 schools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYLE Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bet he's slow and not as quick as Gregory. May have a learning disability or just be dumb also. 3 schools?Being dumb does not disqualify him. Get the guy with the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he good enough to make that 9/10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panicman27 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Just watched some highlights on youtube, he dominates....against community college left tackles. Looks to be slow and isn't explosive with his first step. Very long arms, tough to throw over him. Fairly easy to add weight to his frame. I think he'd get manhandled by NFL O linemen.

aerosmith67 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Bet he's slow and not as quick as Gregory. May have a learning disability or just be dumb also. 3 schools?He physically slow, just look at how long it takes him to get off the ball at 1:23. He also appears to slow down even more if a guy gets a hand on him. His size might get him a camp look but I don't see him making it in the NFL. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3137371/highlights/89230376/v2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Supplemental draftees are hardly ever worth it. Just save the picks for next year if it's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'd be surprised if any of the declarees were drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 People treat these as fictional picks. Would you have drafted him in the 4th this year? No? He's not worth a 4th then. If he is a character concern then why not just wait and take one of the top guys who inevitably falls next year due to character concerns?Even if it isn't character concerns, players like Grady and Bennett were available later than that.

JayOzOne Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm expecting Noah Spence to be eligible any day now but I doubt anyone uses a pick on him. I'd tender a FA contract, though and hope he (literally) keeps his nose clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Falcon Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Being dumb does not disqualify him. Get the guy with the ball.Dumb certainly cannot help. 😀 See: Aundray Bruce.Just commenting what little I could glean from that article and a guess he was not physically comparable to Gregory except in size. Guys in the supplemental almost always have some issue that put them there to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Krazy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 So Yay or Nay from the Alumni section? Definitely worth a UDFA tryout, not worth a pick higher than 6th rounder. Not being able to stay eligible at UWG is hard to accomplish, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTFalcon25 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 A 4th rounder? Seriously? Getting 12 sacks against 13th grade competition is hardly justification for a mid-round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
