The 2013 Prospect Thread

I want them to draft a tackle that can push the pocket to help Wilfork.That would help the LBs rush the QB.

Love is ok, we know Brace has been a bust.

Haven't seen him too much. I'll get back to you

You will get to see him now at the Senior Bowl.

Well at least Vollmer ended up being good. Looking back they got Gronkowski for blondie. A somewhat limited safety who has been adequate. I wanted Delmas but was taken 1 pick earlier. A bust that I think most including myself didn't see in Butler. Brace irked the crap out of me when Barwin was still there. Liked Paul Kruger too. Didn't expect Baltimore to take him in the 2nd though.

I would love to get my hands on this John Jenkins from Georgia.Beast.

Very annoyingly, my recording of the SEC Championship Game cut out with about 5 mins to go in the 1st half. Up to that point, Alex Ogletree was having an excellent game. How did he play in the 2nd half?

It shouldn't be hard to find a replay of it. In the states, prominent (and really good) games like the SEC championship get replayed often.

In the UK though, less so.

I'm downloading now but do you have a answer to my question?

No, not really. Watching as a fan and flipping back and forth is different than scouting it and watching each player individually.

We need a swing OT right?

How about Ronnel Ramsey of Lane College, 6'11'', 340 lb's

My backup option for a swing tackle after Kyle Long is Reid Fragel of Ohio St. Former TE, who only was converted to RT this year. 6'8" 305-310#. Michigan wanted to convert him to OT when they recruited him but he refused, so they didn't offer him a scholarship. Michigan St. also wanted to convert him to OT. Ohio St. offered him the chance to stay at TE so he went there.

He's very athletic, and has played well on the right side this year. He's bulked up from 280# to around 310# or so and is still learning the nuances of the position, but his athleticism has showed up. I think he'd be a great Scar project if Long goes too high. He was apparently a monster as a blocking TE - shades of Steve Maneri - and he's adapted very well so far to tackle. With his athleticism, I think he'd make a nice swing tackle.

 

[manxman2601]

wow! Bad news for him.

Was a second rounder when most were projecting him lower because of injury concerns.

Heard about him yesterday and i think im in love. That athleticism is just impossible to ignore, not to mention the Meyer connection.
Fragel and Winters are really high on my list.

From Tony Pauline's latest Risers and Sliders:

Robert Alford/CB-RS/Southeastern Louisiana: Scouts have come out of Hammond, Louisiana raving about Alford and a few stamped the FBS prospect as a top 45 pick. Alford offers NFL size and next level ball skills. The ability to shut down receivers forces opposing quarterback to throw away from Alford. He's also a game-changing punt returner that's a threat to take it the distance whenever the ball is in his hands. Alford will be closely monitored leading up to the draft and is a player people will quickly come to know.

Luke Marquardt/T/Azusa Pacific: The NAIA prospect struggled with a misdiagnosed foot injury this season yet is still highly considered in scouting circles. His college position coach, former All-Pro lineman Jackie Slater, has likened Marquardt to Nate Solder, starting left tackle for the New England Patriots. Ironically others have compared him to the Patriots starting right tackle Sebastian Vollmer. Marquardt will play in a post season All Star game if healthy and is expected to receive an invitation to the combine. He could end up as a second day pick in next April's draft.

J.C. Tretter/OL/Cornell: Tretter has built a buzz around himself after his play this season and is another small school lineman moving up draft boards. He entered the season with a free agent grade, but Tretter presently grades as a mid-to-late round draft pick. He is also expected to receive an invitation to one of the major post season All Star games, where he'll face off against top competition in front of scouts. He manned the left tackle spot for Cornell but is better suited to play guard at the next level.

Travis Kelce/TE/Cincinnati: Kelce ended his season as the Bearcats top pass catcher and heads towards the draft with his stock on the rise. He's known as a reliable blocker but Kelce tripled almost all his receiving numbers as a senior. He's not a flashy prospect nor a top athlete yet a tight end reliable in all aspects of the position. Kelce projects as a late round pick and couldbe the third man on an NFL depth chart for years to come.

Week 14 - Tony Pauline - SI.com

Kyle Long, Reid Fragel, Luke Marquardt. 3 interesting guys as possible swing tackles. I'd add in Oklahoma junior Lane Johnson, but he could go earlier.

 

[D-Money]

I read somewhere that Brandon jenkins from FSU will enter the draft.He was injured this season.He is a guy that can fall in the later rounds to us.First round talent.

 

[Sciz]

I've had my eye on Marquardt for a lot time because of that Slater connection, but never as high as the second day

I doubt he'll go day 2. Pauline seems to have a lot of guys listed quite high. He said that Kyle Long would likely go mid 2nd round. Marquardt was mentioned a while ago on this thread, so it's nice to keep track of him.
