Researching hidden gems in the draft


MHS831

Recommended Posts

Please share possible steals late in the draft that do not seem to be getting the love they deserve in mocks or rankings. I wanted to share Buster Skrine (CB Chattanooga) with everyone, but the Combine has him shooting up everyone's boards.

MY GEM OF THE DRAFT for TODAY IS: WILLIE SMITH, LOT, ECU

One who caught my eye during the NC State - ECU game was Pirate Offensive Left Tackle Willie Smith. I have found very little on him. This site gives nice write ups on most players:

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/scouting_department.html

To summarize the details: Is only starting to scratch the surface of his potential. Possesses an excellent frame, is a very gifted athlete and bends extremely well for the position. Needs some time to develop, but I definitely see this guy starting as a left tackle for an NFL team in a year or two.

Many mocks and lists do not have him in the top 150 players.

Combine Gross's age, Otah's knees, Schwartz becoming a guard, and Williams' suckage, and the need for depth at OT should be a second-tier priority. And to find a guy who could possibly take over the left side one day in the fourth round? Please check him out.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
