My WVU pick for this year


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

So as you know I usually pick a WVU that I think will excel in the NFL and usually they fail.  But I will never give up hope that one will excel in NFL.  This year the easy pick would be Kevin White.  While I would love the Panthers to pick him he will be long gone in the first round before our pick.  My next player was going to be Karl Joseph but he decided to stay at WVU for his senior season. 

 

So I had to go to my third option which might sound bad but he is a player the Panthers could use and he will be available in the 2nd or 3rd round.

 

 

So without further delay I give you Mario Alford Wide Receiver and Kick returner extordinare. 

 

Important stats

 

5'9"

4.39 40 time.

 

65 rec 945 yards 11 tds

26 KR 743 yards 2 tds

I'm an WVU fan as well and I want Kevin White so bad. KB AND Kevin White?

eeeeehhh, no thanks.  Guys that size that really succeed are one in a thousand.  With a late late round pick, sure why not.  Not in the middle though, in my opinion.

 

edit: I don't pay any attention to pro day 40s at ALL.  The only use for the 40 at the combine is to compare guys in even conditions to others.  I don't care if a guy ran a 4.43 or a 4.48 for any reason but to differentiate from another guy in the same class.  And even then, some are more game fast than shorts fast.  Have more strength to carry the pads better than the smaller track guys.

On film Alford looks really fast.  He looks faster than White in pads.   He is still a project I will give you that he would be play mostly special teams his first few years.  But once he learns better technics and gets more experience he should be a sold 2 wr.   4-5 round I would like to see him pick but he isn't a must have.

White looks good this year.  I'll give that place they call a college that much credit for producing an NFL talent but I wouldn't touch a WVU prospect with a 39 1/2 ft pole. 

 

Austin, Bailey, Sims, Clarke, Pacman, Geno, yuck. 

 

I'll give you Irvin though.

Oh I agree WVU track record for quality NFL players is terrible. Although Bailey is coming along in STL.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
