Mayock's Day 2 comments


Recommended Posts

Some really good takes on WRs on this report.   I like Mayock's takes.  It doesn't really clear up a lot because many of the WRs that have been mentioned on this forum have good comments.  It comes down to what is our biggest need and who will be available at 24.

The first name on this list hasn't been mentioned much but damn.  4.34  This guy would fill the needs we want.

DJ Chark, LSU: Chark's blazing 4.34 40 time impressed Mayock, but after he smoothly caught passes in the gauntlet drill, Mayock really liked what he saw: "He had a real good Senior Bowl week and he's coming out and competing today."

Tight ends

 

Mark Andrews, Oklahoma: Mayock "loved" the 4.67 40 that Andrews ran at 256 pounds. After Andrews' workout, Mayock summed up the TE's performance: "Boy, he can catch the football and run some routes."

Mike Gesicki, Penn State: Gesicki's 4.54 40 popped up on the screen and Mayock hardly believed it: "Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah, folks. Alert, alert, because he's going to run and jump."

Hayden Hurst, South Carolina: The No. 1 tight end on Mayock's board, the draft analyst had more praise for the South Carolina product Saturday: "He blocks in addition to catching the football."

 

Mike Gesicki is on the radar now with 4.54 40 time.

Please pump the brakes on the Chark hype. He's a workout warrior. Tarzan in the gym, Jane on the football field.

I’m not so sure about that. He’s a really solid all around mid round prospect with plenty of things to be excited about at the next level.

Mid-round? Sure. Pre-combine I was talking about him as a potential in the 3rd but someone is taking that kid in the late 1st or early 2nd now. He's not worth that.

We’ll see, that’s possible but I still think he’ll be a mid second to early third.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
