2013 NFL Draft Prospects

[NC_Skins]

Looks like we have another dumbass LSU player that doesn't know how to shut his mouth.

“You know, some weeks when we didn’t have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed,” he said.

“But when we had the big boys coming in — the Bamas or the South Carolinas — I grabbed close to those guys and went all-out.”

Not only that, seems many of his coaches killed him about his attitude.

NFL Combine News & Notes: Saturday

- To expand on a post from yesterday, we’ve been hearing since October that Sam Montgomery/DE/LSU was not receiving rave reviews from his college coaches. More to the point I was told the LSU coaches have been slamming him. Montgomery’s attitude and personality did not sat well with a number of his former teammates or coaches.

Would not touch this kid.

Since we already have 7 picks I think we're ok as is. Although given this front office's approach in the past I'm sure we'll move around some in the draft.

Te'o is an excellent football player, but the market for run-first middle linebackers is similar to the market for quarterbacks: every team only needs one, and the success of your MLB is very much a function of the talent around him. The MLB is hardly ever isolated in the scheme, much like the quarterback.

The fact is there were only about 8 or 9 teams that were ever going to be in the market for Te'o, and a fall to the second round was always a possibility. The Patriots got Brandon Spikes with the last pick in the second round, and Spikes essentially was a poor man's Te'o.

I'm still not sure he'll get past the Giants though.

Video: Tyrann Mathieu runs under 4.5 in his first combine 40, starts the NFL redemption process | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports

- I was wrong about him running a 4.5+, Also he gained muscle and weighed in at 186. He is making all the right moves.

Landry Jones ran a 5.11 in the 40 with a "unique" running style.


"Landry Jones. Jones ran an expectedly slow 40-time, clocking in at 5.11 seconds, last among the 13 quarterbacks who competed."

Compared to RGIII (torching Cam Newton and Andrew Luck).

More 40-yard fun:






^ Still ran 4.38

I look at all these DBs and see maybe a handful that I wouldn't want. Translation; I love this class of DBs. None of these guys are ''slow'' and need to be moved to safety based on poor speed.

Matt Elam ran a 4.54. Pretty good for an NFL safety. I'm pretty sure he just guaranteed himself to go before we pick.

As did Desmond Trufant. Especially with Banks running a bad 40. Trufant will get selected before the Skins pick.

Rhodes ran faster than I thought he would. Actually thought Honey Badger would be faster than 4.5

[Alvin Walton]

Bacarri Rambo

We need to draft this guy so I can buy his jersey.

[MTK]

I figured Te'o would run in the 4.75 range at best so I'm not overly concerned with his 40 time.

I'm still more concerned about his web of lies with the imaginary girlfriend BS and even his excuses after his poor combine kinda turned me off. I'd pass on the guy even in the 2nd. I just don't think he's anything special.

I somewhat agree that he is overrated, but I do think he was telling the truth about the "girlfriend". He's smart enough to know that if teams find out he's lying, it's over for him. Anyway, I would love to see the guy wearing a burgundy and gold jersey.

Secondary Players that I want to learn more about after the combine:

Shamarko Thomas S Syracuse
David Amerson CB NC State
Robert Alford CB Southeastern LA
Steve Williams (had a 4.25 40 the offical time is BS)- also 40.5 vert and 128 inch broad jump.
Tyrann Mathieu- He did very well- not counting the bench press

[skinsfan69]

Mathieu is another guy that I think that can just play football. I don't care how much he benches. His off the field issues are going to hurt his value... but however drafts him, and if they can keep his head on straight, and he accepts good coaching..he can end up being the steal of the draft. I'd love for us to get him in the mid rounds.

He is this year's Janoris Jenkins. I love his answers to interviews at the combine. His answers where genuine and what they should have been for someone who has screwed up their shot. He knows it, and he wants to prove himself. I would love to draft the honey badger. He is my 4th/5th round diamond in the rough hopeful pick.

Tyrann Mathieu has another solid showing at combine, this time on the field
