Jonathan Cyprien, SS - FIU, making a push for the second round

I don't have time to write anything up on Cyprien right now, but it's crazy how fast this guy has flown up boards ever since the senior bowl. Most scouts have him as high as the #2 safety in the draft, and worthy of a 2nd round pick.

I think I've seen his name mentioned on here once or twice but as like a 5th round pick, so now that he is starting to become noticed I figure we needed a thread. I'll try and get some stuff a little but later, feel free to add anything.

I saw an article comparing him to Louis Delmas on the lions (cuz I think they both came from FIU and delmas was picked in the second round, if I'm not mistaken), I would love the pick in the second honestly, and he already visited with the panthers at least once I think, all for it!

EDIT: nevermind, delmas went to western Michigan, my bad

The kid is a beast but I wouldn't spend no.44 on him. I really want Gettleman to pursue a vet FS/SS through FA.

My opinion is that if we really see that we should address the Safety position in the draft, then we should go with Vaccaro at 14. Theres a lot of pretty reliable veteran safeties that can come in and play for us.

i agree but kenny will probably be gone by 14.... and even if he's not panthers still need to go oline first....i believe this guy could still be around in 3-4 rounds just because hes from a small school.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
