official 2014 nfl draft thread

[red]

just looked at few mocks...ebron, pryor, ward, and hageman names come up the most.

you're seeing ward mocked in the first? or is that second round? i haven't seen him going in the first anywhere yet, but ward kinda is a big "unknown" right now. he had a great season for a mid major against a lot of NOT top tier talent, then had a really good senior bowl, then missed the combine and might miss his proday due to a foot injury

he's a wildcard imo, but first round might be a reach, i can see second round for him though

no visits for ebron to the packers yet



yikes, i noticed on the game films that he drops his fair share of balls

I think if your balls don't drop you become a woman.

I think the Packers do not have kids they like come to visit. They reserve the visits to UDFAs and later round guys.

saw dix and mosley on some others.

the first is too high for Jim Ward. If they fall in love with him, they can trade back and still probably get him.

Rewatching the Poinsettia Bowl. My Jimmy Ward prospect crush has just been upgraded from "squicky" to "creepy"

alright, you guys want jommy ward, you got him

this is the 2013 orange bowl against ej manual and florida state (last year,not this year)

some things you'll notice

1. he looks pretty small
2. he lines up all over the place (safety and CB) but plays a lot up near the line
3. he doesn't miss tackles
4. he makes just about every single play in the game.

heres the game from toledo this year. now he's playing deep most of the time.

there is no box before the snap to sho you which one he is, he's #15 and usually lined up off the screen at the snap.

a few days back i look at deone bucannon, and mention he looked very raw, but good size. (missed a lot of tackles, gambled a lot). ward looks to be the exact opposite, smaller, but a sure tackler and good defender

and here is this years Poinsettia Bowl

kid can play, thats for sure

Matt Millen: "He hits him low (the QB) which is nice and safe" - What an idiot.

Ward looks tiny out there

[Fritz]

Well, I don't know exactly what to look for, so I can't really say fer sure, but he looks like a willing tackler. I didn't see people trying to block him much. He just kinda wandered around free and ended up making a bunch of tackles.

I wonder how his cover skills are? And if he's pretty quick at picking up defenses?

[gbgary]

i'll say it...chuckish!

There were reports his coverage skills were pretty good at the Senior Bowl. His stock kind of went up after that.

yeah, thats the name that came to my mind too watching those video

i didn't want to go on record as saying it though
