103 -22 Tajh Boyd; Clemson; 6'1" 225; QB ..... BIO

104. Tajh Boyd - 6'1, 225 pounds - Quarterback - Clemson

The first thing I see before I go looking in depth is his height at 6 ' - 1 " and I ask myself is that really an issue?

I'm thinking Drew Brees and who else is solid at QB in terms of QB Rating and I get another shorter QB in terms of Seattle's QB Russell Wilson.

I believe it's clear that Russell Wilson is (at this time) light years away from the pure gifts and talent of Drew Brees interms of massive yards of offense production at this time. Give him a couple of more weapons at WR and who knows about this "young Field General".

GO TT GO ! GO PACKERS GO !!

Jake Amaro at 15 and Ebron at 17 ? That board needs some updating IMO

[Bretsky]

here's a reason to draft players out of alabama

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/25/fluker-says-alabama-practices-were-like-an-nfl-game/

they practice a lot harder then what NFL teams are allowed to do these days

this also makes a good argument for drafting senior players. the guys have gotten more contact practices in their final year of college then they would get in 5 or even 10 years of practices in the pros

Makes sense; those players at Alabama may practice harder than GB as well

[woodbuck27]

Jake Amaro at 15 and Ebron at 17 ? That board needs some updating IMO

Amaro is ranked too high.

Picking Ebron trumps picking Amaro.

TT has that adjusted on his BIG BOARD 'of course'.

tajh boyd has to be just free falling down draft boards right now

showing no touch at all with a very low release

THANKS. I've got the game recorded. I'll be checking out the prospects you liked.

98 Daniel McCullers DT 6'8" 351 Tennessee SEC

That man's a Giant.

How does he keep from getting stood up?

How did ... 10 Jimmy Garoppolo QB 6'2" 222 Eastern Illinois FCS ...look today.

He was arguably the best player in last week's East-West Shrine Game.

[Maxie the Taxi]

98 Daniel McCullers DT 6'8" 351 Tennessee SEC

That man's a Giant.

Does he keep his pad level low?

How does he keep form getting stood up?

I didn't focus on him. They did call his name several times. He's supposed to carry his weight well and be athletic given his size.

[red]

i don't know, i wasn't paying attention

dee ford was the MVP, which of course will make everyone on here say we should draft him since he's projected as a DE/OLB

but i only ever saw him play with his hand in the dirt

and he sounded like a fucking moron in his past game interview

[red]

the only thing i took from the game was the hope that the queens take tajh boyd to be their franchise QB

[Bretsky]

I listened to an interview with Ahmad Dixon from Baylor...who I'd love to see in Green n Gold...and he noted the TE from Iowa was out the toughest guy to cover out there and a very very tough matchup for any DB

Your referring to TE C.J. Fiedorowicz, Iowa and this Giant would be a handful for Ahmad Dixon @ * 6'-0" 200 lb ( Safety ) or anyone about that size or giving up 5-7 inches and 40- 65 lbs. to any NFL capable TE (receiver that can run routes).

The big guy from Minnesota...Ra'shede Hageman...Haven't mentioned his name all game.

I've been checking out Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh, 6'1", 288 lbs, I would take him over Hageman if he's still there. Aaron Donald dominated the college football defensive landscape, earning the Outland Trophy, Lombardi, Nagurski, and Bednarik Awards in 2013.
01/21/2014 - 2014 Senior Bowl: 10 observations from Monday's North practice...1. DT Aaron Donald was an unstoppable force on Monday. Like his play all season, the Pitt defensive tackle was extremely quick in drills and was relentless from snap to whistle. His burst and anticipation off the snap and active energy to fight through and around blocks make him tough for any blocker to handle. Donald repeatedly victimized Baylor OG Cyril Richardson at practice, winning with leverage, hustle and fluidity that Richardson has likely never seen before on the football field. Donald's skill-set is ideal for one-on-one drills so he should shine, but the NFL team that drafts him will get a really good football player. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
OVERVIEW
Considering that he's leading the country in sacks (1.6 per game) and tackles for loss (2.4), Donald might just be the most under-appreciated NFL prospect in college football. Sure, he isn't as big as most defensive linemen, but as he demonstrated with two sacks and three tackles for loss vs. Virginia Tech and big, mobile quarterback Logan Thomas, what a stick of dynamite may lack for in size can be made up with explosiveness. (10/18/13)
ANALYSIS
Strengths: Comes off the snap like he's shot out of a cannon. His first step routinely beats opponents for immediate pressures. Has an effective arm-over swim move, though he doesn't use this often enough. His stature gives Donald the leverage advantage which he uses well to get under the pads of opponents and drive them into the backfield on bull-rushes.
Weaknesses: As with most undersized pass-rushers, when Donald's burst is contained his short arms limit his effectiveness. Donald keeps his legs churning and plays with effort, but he can get caught up in the hand-to-hand combat.

--Rob Rang
He played inside most of the time, and was often double teamed, I do wish he was bigger, but maybe they can get him in the weight room and gain some weight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3YKvx6LcBs
