Shot up draft boards. Local Charlotte kid. 5 Star Recruit. Great athlete, projects as a left tackle. Plays nasty and with a mean-streak. Needs to show that he can add weight and sustain that weight. Injury concerns, needs to be coached up.

There's a large thread on him in the Draft section for anyone interested. A couple guys like Daniel Jeremiah have him as their #1 tackle prospect.

every team needing OL help are gonna be interested in DJ. 

 

only a handful of OT's look the part of a LT, and DJ is one of them. 

 

I agree and would totally be cool with him.  Peat and Clemmings worry me about starting at LT off the bat.  Collins, Flowers, Fisher, and Humphries though I'm cool with. 

 

I don't know why anyone would not want him unless they care that much about his arms being 1/4" shorter than many like.

He's a natural LT and will most certainly be gone by the time we come up at 25. 

Don't be fooled with all these mock drafts having La'El Collins and Ereck Flowers picked ahead of DJ Humphries. 

Those guys are right tackles and will be taken after DJ.

I am worried about this as well. 

 

I like Fisher also. He has the size and athletic ability to be a natural LT. 

 

Praying one of them is on board.

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
