Marvin Jones ~ 6.2/198 ~ 5th ~ 2nd-3rd
Starter!! Marvin Jones commands a very impressive fusion of the kind of Skill Set that should consistently produce plays and Moves The Chains at the next level: Fluidity, sharp Verticity in his Breaks, and very reliable Discipline in his Route Running.
He's not overly physical on the Line, but he's got enough Fluidity, Dexterity, and Savvy to get loose, and enough Short Burst to separate.
No Big Play Zoomer, but Marvin Jones is the kind of Prospect who should earn a starting gig at the next level, Move The Chains, and help you win. Sleeper!!
Eric Page ~ 5.10/192 ~ 5th ~ 2nd-3rd
Starter!! A little work is needed to refine them, but Eric Page brings a bounty of athletic talents ~ Short Burst, Fluidity, and both sharp Verticity and explosive Torsion out'f'is Breaks ~ to the table.
He Accelerates up and down Gears impressively, as well, and I foresee him becoming an highly adept Chain Mover at the next level.
He's a bit light, but commands exceptional Core Strength, Fluidity, and Dexterity, and should win many Battles at the Line.
He's a little raw, but Eric Page seems to me to be a good bet to develop into a Starter at the next level, and probably a very good one. Sleeper!!
Jarius Wright ~ 5.10/176 ~ 5th-6th ~ 1st
Super Beast!!
My GOD.
~ Outstanding Diagnostic Acuity: Reads the Field like General Patton.
~ Ridiculous fusion of Athletic attributes: explosive Short Burst, impressive Fluidity, sharp Verticity and explosive Torsion out'f'is Breaks.
~ Dangerous Short Burst combined with simply nightmarish Long Speed.
~ Absolutely fearless, breaking over the Middle.
He's not very physical.
And his Hands need work.
But Jarius Wright commands an obscene fusion of Intelligence, Ferocity, and pure Athleticism.
Super Beast.
Super Sleeper.
Name Your Price.
Marvin McNutt ~ 6.3/216 ~ 5th-6th ~ 4th-5th
Potential Starter!! Marvin McNutt's Stock took an hit at the Senior Bowl, and it might take another at The Combine: He's not very impressive, athletically.
Indeed, even when it comes to Moving The Chains, he doesn't command especially remarkable Fluidity or either Verticity or Torsion out'f'is Breaks.
And God knows his Long Speed is unexceptional.
The reason I like this kid is his Cross Training: He's a former Quarter Back, and it shows: His Savvy in Working the Field is exceptional.
And he command enough Athleticism ~ combined with his elevated level of Savvy ~ to Work the Field, get open from time to time, and Move The Chains.
But such Capacities...don't tend to show up in Drills.
I can easily see this kid carving out a decade's work without ever starting, as a vital, Chain Moving Role Player...but he could just as easily earn a starting gig, as well, though I prefer him off the bench. Deal!!
Jeff Fuller ~ 6.4/216 ~ 5th-6th ~ 5th-7th
Project!!
I'm not even going to pretend I have any idea of what to expect of this kid.
If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd say that Jeff Fuller was one of the most exciting Split Ends in this Class.
Based on his recent work, though, I just don't know.
As a Senior, Fuller looked awful.
He's a big kid with excellent Core Strength who has potential to become not only a good Possession Receiver, but an outstanding, Chain Moving Beast.
But what we've seen, of late, has been a sloppy slug who planted a forest of FootBalls.
There's something wrong, here.
Whether or not it ever gets right, again, I do not presume to know. I pray it does.
Meanwhile: It Is What It Is. I'm going to give young Mister Fuller a Project Grade: 5th to 7th Round, in this case, which is close enough to call Fair Value!!
Rishard Matthews ~ 6.1/216 ~ 6th ~ 6th-7th
Reserve!! I hate to lay that grade on Rishard Matthews, as he's my kind of FootBall Player: a wily scrapper who takes his Blocking seriously and isn't afraid to go over the middle.
But he's hampered by limited Fluidity, Verticity and Torsion out'f'is Breaks, raw Route Running, and even a lack of Core Strength.
His attitude gives him a chance, though. And it's not as if he's bereft of athletic talent. Fair Value!!
Ryan Broyles ~ 5.10/189 ~ 6th ~ 4th-5th
Hobbled Beast!! Huh!! Ryan Broyles isn't getting a lot of love, but in my eyes, he's an absolutely masterfull Slot End at the next level: a deft, agile, Athlete who has very little Long Speed, but enough Short Burst, Fluidity, Verticity, and Torsion to lend his extraordinary Diagnostic Acuity ~ his Savvy at Working The Field ~ a deadly aspect.
Recovering from an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, as he is, he shouldn't be expected to get all the way back up to Full Operation Speed until 2013.
History should make that crystal clear.
As such, it is fully warranted that his Market Value take an enormous hit.
Even so, I believe that, when all is said and done, Ryan Broyles will prove to be one of the very best Slot Ends of this entire Draft Class. Deal!!
Jordan White ~ 6.0/216 ~ 6th-7th ~ 7th
Reserve!! Jordan White is much craftier than your average Bear: He Works the Field rather nicely.
But he's hindered both by athletic limitations ~ Speed, Agility, that sort of thing ~ and by dubious Discipline: His Route Running needs tightening up.
He is, indeed, a Later Rounder, as I see it. Fair Value!!
