The 2013 Prospect Thread

[mayoclinic]

I know very little about him, except that this is his first year as a defensive player, and he's a rare guy who is 300lbs and runs a 4.78 40 according to NFL draft scout

Former TE, converted to defense, ridiculously athletic, terrorizing QBs in a major conference. When has this board ever shown interest in one of those?

Mayo, you never commented on my Blueprint. I'd love to know what you think.

Robert Alford is an interesting DB prospect. Here's a writeup from the Bleacher Report with some film clips:

Here's a writeup from Phil Savage's staff at the Senior Bowl, which has invited Alford:

Possible top 45 seems aggressive, especially for a small school prospect who will be 25 as a rookie, but who knows? Maybe he could be the next Lardarius Webb.

Tyrann Mathieu has announced he's declaring for the draft. With his ability to force turnovers and his special teams abilities, one would have to think that the Pats would be interested. So the question is, where do you take him (or more importantly, where would BB take him).

I'm going to say that they should wait to at least the 6th round and more probably the 7th.

I saw Alford twice last year. Pretty mediocre. Lacks quickness and strength, but uses great technique to jam receivers off the line of scrimmage. Mediocre instincts, above average ball skills, average fluidity, mediocre speed.

Maybe, but they have lot of capital already invested in the CB position.

I could see the Saints jumping at him. Local celebrity and a team with no pass defense.

He's short and all reports indicate he's an undersized Asante Samuel with worse cover skills and amazing ST ability

So he's Ellis Hobbs?

 

[VJCPatriot]

Would love to have Nix if the descriptions of him are accurate. But I very much doubt he lasts all the way to #32.

Question to all. If Nix does declare for the draft, does he go ahead of Jonathan Hankins? I vote yes.

Think him more likely to be an OG for the Pats.

You can see him in this vid playing LT on the offensive plays. #66.

A forum favourite is declaring for the draft:

S. Richardson officially declares for #NFLDraft. Legit top 15 talent but seems very boom/bust. I wonder how Mizzou folks will speak of him.
