Growl's Senior Bowl South Practice Thread

[beastson]

I love those "full game" videos.  So much better for the big picture than just watching highlight reels.

 

What i can see here...

 

Positives: Great height, awesome hands, good body control and strong focus (the falling down catch was amazing), knows how to use his body to shield defenders from the ball

 

Concerns: He's a tad lean (only 210 at 6'4), I'd want to see him put on some muscle, and then you've gotta see how that affects his game, kinda disappeared in the second half of that GT game

 

Overall: Definitely worth a look, guy with a frame like that could potentially be developed into a serious red zone threat, and many have said Newton needs taller receiving options

 

 

01/20/14 - 2014 SENIOR BOWL, WIDE RECEIVER: Arrow pointing down: Cody Hoffman, BYU...After recording 100 catches last year, Hoffman's production dropped in 2013 (57/894/5) as he battled injuries and inconsistencies. He has a tall, lean frame and will be too easily out-muscled by defensive backs and knocked off his route. Hoffman needs a strong week in Mobile. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com

Talked to Mike Craft. He said, of his own accord, that he spoke to Mr. Gettleman and that the team is determined to get some weapons around Cam this offseason.

So there ya go.

Like TRG said, you should post this as a thread in the main forum.

I actually have a tick about doing this kind of thing because I feel like I'm divulging team secrets,

Given that we only have one wide receiver under contract, I don't really feel what I'm saying is all that big. So I posted it in a thread there.

A full blown thread is too noticeable!

I agree.

Hoffman's lack of explosiveness is his biggest issue.

He's a routes guy who has great hands and has looked absolutely combative getting off the line, where he has viciously used his hands off the line to get leverage. He has good size and an NFL build. I think he's a lo 2nd hi 3rd guy but I've only had time to go back and watch one of his games. He's someone I'll be watching.

He looked excellent Tuesday. I'm not at the south practice today unfortunately.

Huff and Herron are both bigger than I expected. These field level cameras really help some guys but hurt others

Zack Martin is just killin it!

 

Man will probably be the 3rd OT off the board.

Cyril Richardson has struggled, wonder where he'll fall in the draft

Schofield was looking good too. He'd be a good value pick in the 5th or 6th if still there to replace Bell.

Mayock said he thinks he's strictly a RT so he doesn't have a ton of value but we would only need him to be a RT

I really thought that Richardson was just as good as Jonathan Cooper who went no7 to Arizona last year. Not as athletic tho. But, he was being projected as a late 1st to early 2nd rounder.

 

Richardson struggled vs. speed this whole week which will probably make him a sure 2nd rounder now. I really though he was the best OG in this class, but if he doesnt improve his stock at the combine I could see two or three OGs going ahead of him: David Yankey, Xavier Su'a-Filo, Gabe Jackson.

 

Gabe Jackson has looked very good too. Massive guard that could have an impact like Warford this past season.

Yup he sure is. I think that he has already helped his stock bumping him into the 3rd or 4th.

Matthews just beated his guy easily off the line on WR vs CB drill.

That westbrooks kid having a day he'd like to forget about

Keith McKill the CB out of Utah looked good the five seconds I saw him on screen. He's outta of Utah so kinda of a rule Panthers draft him.
