Loudermilk to the Steelers. Sorry to Bretsky and me.

[The Shadow]

I KNEW Trevor Lawrence's face reminded me of someone (or something).
Finally figured it out :
The face on the Morlock pyramid in the 1960 version of The Time Machine.

Sorry as I am at a basketball tournament so short time but it sure seems like there were a lot of better players out there.

Got it. I don't know shit about other available players. I'll take your word on that What I read in him seemed solid though.

[Sparkey]

Tedarell Slaton DT Florida

[Sparkey]

Shemar Jean-Charles CB Appalachian State

[HarveyWallbangers]

Kenny Gainwell still undrafted. Thats a mystery to me.

Personally, I wasn’t a big fan of Gainwell. Thought he was a bit overrated.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Tedarell Slaton DT Florida

Slaton could be a good pick. One of the few giant, run stuffing NTs in the draft.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Shemar Jean-Charles CB Appalachian State

Never heard of him. I’m guessing his measurable are good?

[run pMc]

Younger, cheaper Snacks Harrison? He's a monstrous human being at 6-5 340. I know nothing about him or the CB from Appalachian St. but on the surface I don't hate the picks. They needed another DL, and as a believe in the "you can't have enough good corners" theory a developmental CB can't hurt

PROSPECT SUMMARY – SHEMAR JEAN-CHARLES
Prior to starting over the final two seasons of his career at Appalachian State, Shemar Jean-Charles mostly served as a special teams ace. Following that point, he quickly transitioned into being one of the better players on the roster. Possessing a rocked-up top half, he’s an impressively put together corner prospect. Playing mostly on the outside, he was able to collect 26 passes defensed and two interceptions over the past two seasons combined. He's a physical corner out on the perimeter, but his lack of length could lead to him playing a nickel role on the next level. There is some hip tightness with Jean-Charles, which could make his transition inside result in some growing pains early on. But as he continues to become more comfortable, he’s a developmental player that could prove to be solid depth at the position.


Ideal Role: Developmental slot defender who has the capabilities of being a heavy special teams contributor during the early portions of his career.

Scheme Fit: Attacking Cover 1 press-man nickel corner.

PROSPECT SUMMARY – TEDARRELL SLATON
Tedarrell Slaton is an impressively built interior defensive line prospect. He's listed at nearly 360 pounds, but looks much slimmer than his listed weight—he looks around 330 pounds and carries his weight well with an evenly distributed body structure. Leverage is the name of his game and he often starts low in his stance. He’s able to remain at that level throughout the duration of reps. An extremely powerful player at the point of attack, he makes it difficult for double teams to move him off of his spots. He’s a true head-up 0-technique that thrives with maintaining both A-gaps. Slaton wins strictly off of bull rush attempts and it’s a method that’s been highly effective for him to this point in his career. He also incorporates a quick swim move when able to jump the snap. He's been treated primarily as a two-down defender and he won’t provide much value on third down or obvious passing situations. As a run defender, there are stretches of inconsistencies of where he can make plays while engaged on single blocks, but he fails to make an impact and thus falls victim to runs being exploited through his gap. He has the arm strength to reach out and stop rushers in their tracks, but he often doesn’t reach out and make an effort to make those types of plays often. There are periods where Slaton has struggled with maintaining his balance when knocked out of plays and he has some reps of where he will randomly fall to the ground.


Ideal Role: Developmental 0- or 1-technique.

Scheme Fit: 3-4 nose tackle or a 1-technique in a 4-3 defensive front.

So Jean-Charles is a special teams ace who will push/backup Sullivan in the slot?

[RashanGary]

We’ll be lucky to get a starter and a rotational player late in the draft. I’m hopeful but after watching 20 of these unfold over the years, I’ve learned to not expect much. Plus a shallow draft later, just below average prospects. But we have to keep that rotating door going until something sticks

[HarveyWallbangers]

Apparently, Newman had a good Senior Bowl week.

[Fritz]

I think Slaton is going to be a good player for the Packers.
