2013 draft prospects

I'd love it if we were actually active in free agency considering Dashon Goldson may be available.

YES! If we can be in position to sign Goldson, Id be happy.

Hes a stud and that would help solve the problem at FS.

It'll even be better bc we can then go a different route in the first two rounds of the draft next year for a receiver and DL.

Alright, so I went and watched some vids on McDonald, Reid, Vaccaro, and Jefferson.

-McDonald, the guy is very fluid in coverage and has the ability to turn and run on a dime (although he can be caught peeking in the backfield), not a very big hitter and takes some questionable angles, but seems like a sure tackler.

-Vaccaro plain and simple will get you down on the ground any way necessary, doesn't have a problem being able to run with backs or TEs, although I don't think I saw him playing too deep, very good closing speed too.

-Reid is a well rounded prospect, good in coverage and able to play close to the line in run support, can lower the boom when needed

-Jefferson looks pretty similar in style of play to Vaccaro, plays closer to the line, gonna hit you hard but sometimes will miss because of it, loves to blitz, very aware when in coverage too

These are based off highlight videos so obviously they aren't going to show a lot of negatives, but we'll see a lot more as the season progresses.

Cheers

week 5 update

WR Stedman Bailey WVU had a monster game, has the speed and elusiveness to be a pretty good wide out on the next level. 13 catches 303 yards and 5 TDs.

WR Justin Hunter UT had a meh game vs UGA. I was looking for him to make a name for himself but he just couldnt for some reason. he was blanketed in coverage at times but when he did get open Bray just could not hit him. 3 catches 46 yards.

DE Alex Okafor Texas had a pretty good game vs Oklahoma St. he was apply pressure all night with 4 QB hurries, 1 sack, and 6 tackles.

S Kenny Vaccaro Texas played average vs Oklahoma St. he wiffed on a couple of tackles with 1 going for 6 points. he also got burnt for 6 points but did get a pick with a nice break on a ball. 5 tackles, 1 for loss, and a pick.

WR Terrance Williams Baylor had a big game. 17 catches, 314 yards and 2 TDs. i want to see what he runs he seems to have that sneaky speed.

DT Jon Hankins OSU. controlled the LOS the entire game, not allowing Michigan St RB Bell who is also a draft prospect to get over 100 yards.dude is a tank and has the feet to disrupt like a 3 tech. he played everywhere on that DL sat including DE. 3 tackles.

CB Desmond Trufant Washington. he put on a island all night and held it down. even picked off the ball going vs the 6-8 TE to seal the game.

DT John Jenkins UGA like Hankins controlled the LOS and gave UGA a nice push from the middle to keep Bray of his spots in the pocket. 1 tackle 2 pass breakup.

DE Damontre Moore Texas A&M has showed up all year and has played OLB in a 3-4 as well as DE in a 4-3. has a nice quick step with some decent pass rushing moves.vs Arkansas he had 5 tackles with 2.5 being for lost. 1 QB hurry and a force fumble. dude is going to fly up the board if he declares.

Tyler Eifert

This kid is a legit TE. Can not just block, but blocks well, athletic as fuuck and would be a good Olsen compliment.

Notre Dame 6'6 251

63 rec - 803 yards -5 tds (2011)

9 rec - 158 yards - 1 td (so far in 2012)

He'd be a good fit on offense for us to use like we did Shockey

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
