Another Scouting site: Sidelineview's big board

[dos poptarts]

They've got their scouting reviews of lots of players (sortable). Most top 50 reports include video and timeline notes of good and bad play. There's still top players missing reports so I guess they'll get completed as the draft approaches.

 

ENJOY.

Here's part of their Jordan Matthews report:

 

Pros

• He. Can. Fly
• Smooth
• Plays the game at a much faster rate than the rest of the college players on the field
• Excellent Route runner, precise
• First three plays noted on South Carolina video, he lined up in 3 different WR positions
• Gives effort blocking
• Explosive runner after the catch - plenty of quick hitch and run in his career
• High points the football
• Solid hands - tends to body catch going across the middle on occasion
• Downfield acceleration is obscene

Cons

• Needs work on his double move - v. Houston 2013, he didn’t sell the stutter and go at all, couldn’t get open.
• Understanding of coverages, needs to know when to settle down v. zone, sprint v. man
• Wiry but can he get separation at the LOS against more physical corners?
• Will push off downfield to high point the football
• Catches the ball away from his body but lets ball get into his body at times.
• Has a little hitch when exploding from the line of scrimmage that he got away with in college

Vanderbilt used him all over the field - Z, X, in the slot and even as a tight Y on occasion.  Either way, he’s got scary athleticism, body control and explosiveness.  He’s a lot like Houston Texans WR Deandre Hopkins was coming out of Clemson but Matthews is more polished in the finer things of the game.  The WR class is LOAD-ED so there’s no telling where he’ll land, but an NFL team will get an NFL ready player on day one.

Going by his BPA, if all other teams stayed pat, we'd have:

1st - WR Jarvis Landry

2nd - CB EJ Gaines

3rd - OT Antonio Richardsons

4th - OT Morgan Moses

5th - S Terrence Brooks

6th - WR/RB Dri Archer

7th - TE Xavier Grimble

Well, Looked down the list a couple spots here and there, but never went up the board for any selection. I'd be ok with those selections.

I just can't agree with his report on Matthews. Speed and separation definitely looks like an issue for Jordan.

I love EJ Gaines. Underrated CB in the draft this year. I see him as a riser after the combine.
