Watch "Kalen Ballage || "Me Against the World" || ASU Highlights" on YouTube

Been keeping an eye on this kid in the mocks. Was 5th rounder all year. Now I'm seeing 4th and even 3rd. Could be a steal. Eight touchdowns in one game. If we haven't drafted or signed a back by the 4th round, I run the card to the table.
I like Ballage, I also liked Perine's tape too. Runs a little upright but his speed combined with power makes him very intriguing.

he is the best blocker in pass protection in the class and he catches the ball well too

When watching tape you have to see how guys do in small spaces. A lot of times we get all excited watching a guy run through a big hole and there is little safety help. That tells you nothing

Same as watching a QB throw passes to wide open receivers. You want to find the guy that can get the ball in a tight window consistently.

like it was doubtful sherf would be a 5th overall, the process is just beginning we still have the combine pro days and the shelton effect

Funny you bring that up. This year we have the same situation a top rated DE in Chubb and a top rated OG in Nelson. Lets see who will be selected first. Wasn't doubtful that Sherff would be available at #5 just doubtful that we actually took him.

I hope Nelson drops he is a much safer and better prospect than Sherff. If what you say is true Nelson should be the #2 overall pick based on your BPA model. Let see if it happens. Its a huge need for the Giants. Lets see if they do it.

you are trying to set up that scenario ? look each team has their own draft board deanis , what they consider the BPA could be different . i am not convinced nelson is a top 5 talent yet . i am certainly not going to say he is better then a 2x PB player when he hasnt taken a snap in OTA's yet . i hope he is , if we draft him , but we dont need to trade up to get him because a good player will fall right to us at 13 .

From what I am reading his grade is higher than Scherff when he came out. True you never know what he will do in the NFL. What do you think about Edwards from VT?
