Mayock's Top Five Dts


Ruff

Recommended Posts

Mayock just did his Top 5 DTs on NFL Network's Path to the Draft. Poe dropped from #1 overall to #4. He said that the tape on the guy is average, and it's going to take a very good mentor to coach him up.

Fletcher Cox moved up to the #1 DT. He said Cox could easily go in the Top 15, and may even go in the top 10. Maybe foreshadowing the Panthers' pick?

I used to be a huge Mayock fangirl, but when he ranked Gabbert as the #1 QB I lost all respect. This was even really before I was on board with Newton, I just thought it was absolutely clear from his college performance that he wasn't the #1 QB in that class.

So he's admitting to not having watched him at all at Memphis prior to this and basing his ranking solely on his performance at the combine? Um, OK.

Exactly - you can't rank based off the combine. Or did he get hired by the Raiders?

Mayock had him tied at 5th pre combine....looks like he is putting him back where he belongs. The Poe hype was totally a media driven thing.

Mayock just moved him up where he didn't belong to give him stuff to talk about.....nothing more.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
