From a small school expert

 

[TBR]

Just unbelievable.

 

[AtomicDawg]

I saw one of Kamu Grugier-Hill's plays on special teams (gunner) he went by one defender, blew up another and made the tackle. Great athlete

 

[Froob]

Was Keenan Reynolds picked way too high?

I really don't know too much about the guy, was the point you were trying to make about special teams or something?

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Anyone have any info on him?

Well, if it helps, CBS is rating this pick as an F with a comment, "a small school Belichick reach".....

How long before Squeaky and the Douche use this as proof Jamie Collins will hold out?

Marshall!

 

[woolster22]

Don't mind taking guys that athletic at this point.

Marshall is a freak with his size/speed combo....

 

[The Gr8est]

And former teammate of one Jimmy Garoppolo.

Jimmy G told BB "get me my own Edelman".

I didn't know a 6th round comp pick could be a reach.

Kamu Grugier-Hill is a crazy good athlete.

As someone who doesn#t get/watch College football, i am coming on here for proper analysis on these players. However, it appears that every pick we have ever made for the last 10 years is a bust.......

I may wait for pre season instead

"I'm telling you Tony, Collins is furious about this!"
"Yeah, Mike, I know, I know."

STRENGTHS
Explosive, quick-twitch athlete. Has superior chase speed and burst to the ball carrier. Possesses above average stop/start quickness. Combines quick feet and loose hips for plus agility. Range to ball carriers will be well above average. Instant reaction time once he diagnoses play. Finds the ball after the snap and stays locked in. Wrap up tackler who likes to body up as a finisher. Aggressive enough to stay at linebacker as a pro. Monster pro day with 38 1/2-inch vertical leap and 4.45 40. Has burst to become dangerous blitzer.
WEAKNESSES
Must prove he can play heavier. Lacks play strength for the linebacker spot. Absorbs too much contact by lead blockers. Needs to play with better hands and learn to jolt and shed at point of attack. Can be engulfed and will struggle to disengage at times. Turns shoulders and runs rather than scraping with square pads. Some lack of awareness in zone coverage.
DRAFT PROJECTION
Round 7 or priority free agent
BOTTOM LINE
When you are 6-foot-2, run a 4.45 and post the type of explosion numbers Grugier-Hill did at his pro day, you get late-draft attention, especially as a linebacker with ridiculous range. His lack of natural size and strength is a concern, but could be covered up as a 43 WILL linebacker. If he can get his weight up, he might be able to project inside in a 3-4 defense as long as he?s kept clean. Has a shot to be a day three selection and make an NFL team.

2016 NFL Draft Profile: Kamu Grugier-Hall

 

[Todd Bradley]

Can't complain about picking high upside guys at this point in the draft.

Remember guys, Tom Brady was picked in this round, as we all know.

It's not all doom and gloom.

 

[ViperGTS]

I didn't know a 6th round comp pick could be a reach.

Butler would probably get the same grade if he had been picked in the 6th. Ditto Edelman.

Idiots.

Bit light at 208, but I'm sure they can work on that. Interesting pick, reach is fine this late in the game.
